The central star of the Liaququ system is a hot, pale yellow subgiant.
It is a main sequence star, fusing hydrogen into helium. It is however
past the middle of its shorter lifespan due to its higher mass and temperature
than Sol's. Sunspot and flare activity are relatively low for this type
of star, but when the first colonists arrived, a huge sunspot( 700,000
km across) acompanied by equally huge flares and protuberances was visible
to the naked eye near the star's equator, hence the nickname "The
Eye" given to it by the colonists.
