Proteon

Proteon is the second closest star to Demos, the central black hole of The Silky Way.
== Physical Characteristics ==
Proteon is a large, B-class star that is in a dangerously close orbit around Demos, the central black hole of The Silky Way. Because of this, it is slightly prolate. It's repeated passage through Demos' accretion disk slowly drags the orbit down, leading to its eventual demise in the black hole. 
Since it currently has a rather far orbit around Demos, it's sphere of influence is large enough to allow for several asteroids to orbit around it, granting insane views. 
== Orbit ==
Proteon has an elliptical orbit around Demos, which cuts through Demos' accretion disk at periapsis. Proteon's high velocity at this point causes a large amount of drag on Proteon's orbit, slowing it down.
== Star System ==
Proteon's system does not contain any planets, but it does have many, many asteroids and bits of debris captured during its passages through the accretion disk. All of these asteroids are extremely superheated, as Proteon's hill sphere is so tiny.
