Astralings

The Astralings are a group of twelve Zodiakoopa siblings who rule the Cosmikoopa species in Swarmshadow Galaxy despite their lower taxonomy. They are descendants of the Ztar Kingdom's royal family, being children of King Enubar and Queen Stella. They live in the Ztar System, but sometimes visit the moon of Mario's planet to visit Bowser and the Koopalings.

==Backstory==
During her travels throughout the universe, Rosalina once encountered a realm known as the Swarmshadow Galaxy. She discovered a Ztar Kingdom that had fallen into chaos and poverty due to a cosmic war. Feeling pity for the dark star people, the space princess asked one of her Lumas to become a new ruler for the Ztars. This indigo Luma reincarnated into Enubar.
Enubar quickly used his power to rebuild the Ztar Kingdom and restore it to its former prosperity. Once that was done, he decided he wanted to go exploring. He traveled from his home galaxy to the star system of Mario's planet, where he met Bowser. The two bonded over their hopes to find true love.
Eventually, Enubar's wishes came true when he encountered a beautiful Koopa named Stella. The two came together and formed a healthy relationship, later marrying in a wedding hosted by Bowser, who had learned from his past mistakes and arranged it himself. After this, the Ztar King took his new Queen to Swarmshadow Galaxy, where they had twelve eggs together.
Stella made a bargain with distant Ztars to bless her eggs with their power in exchange for them taking longer to hatch. A full year passed, with one child being born every month. After all of them hatched, Enubar was inspired by the Koopalings of Bowser to have his own children become a team of leaders for his army. He decided on the group name "Astralings".
The family would soon go back to Mario's planet. There, they created a branch of the Ztar Kingdom in the Moon's caverns. They also made allies with both the Koopa Kingdom and the Broodals, adopting the Koopa surname from the former. The Astralings have assisted Bowser in cosmic level schemes ever since then.
