Ekla

Ekla is the secondary star of the Aliga System, and second brightest. Due to its close proximity to the neutron star Idria, Ekla has no planets in its orbit, nor much of a debris disk. The Krask Hegemony is currently planning the construction of a Nova Engine around the star.
== Physical Characteristics ==
Ekla, as a white dwarf, is a dead stellar corpse with no nuclear fusion. At 1.2 solar masses, Ekla is fairly close to the Chandrasekhar limit, which makes it a key candidate for the construction of a Nova Engine. As per most white dwarves, Ekla is similar in size to a midrange terrestrial planet. With fusion no longer providing energy to hold up the star's outer layers, the proto-Ekla collapsed and expelled much of its mass into a planetary nebula which is long since gone.
