Mure's sun/K-type

Mure's sun (Sith: zibâtimurû, "star of Mure" ) was a K-type T Tauri flare star that sat in close proximity to the western flank of the Galactic Barrier and served as the primary star of the Mure system.

Mure's sun was an orange K-type T Tauri flare star with an age estimated to be between one hundred thousand and one million standard years as of the Battle of Yavin. A young star that had not yet entered the main sequence, Mure's sun was primarily powered by the release of gravitational energy rather than by hydrogen fusion. As a result, the star commonly exhibited variable and unpredictable behavior, emitting high levels of X-ray and radio radiation and generating intense stellar winds that ballooned outwards from its outer atmosphere for dozens of astronomical units.

Murese astronomers believed the star had once possessed a protoplanetary disk rife with both dense metals like gold, cobalt, tungsten, platinum, and iron and lighter elements like carbon, oxygen, phosphorus, and hydrogen. The contents of this disk were believed to have been used by the prehistoric Celestial civilization in their artificial construction of the planet Mure, the star's sole planetary-mass satellite. However, the Celestials' assembly of the Galactic Barrier, a line of hyperspace disturbances erected west of the Deep Core to slow the advance of the Rakata Infinite Empire, was believed to have been responsible for dispersing the disk's remaining material across space, leaving only residual traces of iron and larger collations of rock and dust that constituted the system's asteroids.

As the author was unable to develop a satisfactory proper name for the star in question, the article's title was given simply as "Mure's sun" per Wookieepedia's naming conventions for nameless stars. The star's astrophysical properties were derived and simplified from those of Toliman, a K-type main-sequence star and the smaller of the two main sequence stars that make up the Alpha Centauri binary.
