Idria

Idria is the most massive and least luminous object within the Aliga System. Idria is the primary star of the system, and the last to be discovered by neighboring civilizations. 
== Physical characteristics ==
Idria was formed by a supernova explosion in the distant past, over two billion years ago. This makes it old enough to have lost the strong magnetic field and extremely rapid rotation rate that creates a pulsar, as well as much of the residual energy left over from the core collapse. This fact, combined with Idria's radius of fifteen kilometers, results in a luminosity comparable to a mid-market flashlight and makes Idria nearly invisible from interstellar space without an active search.
