!Class!!Image!!Description

|'''<big>Class M star<big>'''|| [[File:M type star.png|150px|M type star]]|| The lowest mass stars are commonly referred to as Red Dwarf stars. They are the most abundant class of star, however, their luminosity is very low, making it very impractical to construct [[Dyson Sphere]]s or even [[Dyson Sphere#The Dyson Swarm|Dyson Swarm]]s around them.

|'''<big>Class K star<big>'''|| [[File:K type star.png|150px|K type star]]|| A low mass star, they typically have a luminosity of < 1 L_☉, making them poor sites for construction of [[Dyson Sphere]]s. [[Dyson Sphere#The Dyson Swarm|Dyson Swarm]]s may however still be of some use with their much lower resource requirements.

|'''<big>Class G star<big>'''|| [[File:G type star.png|150px|G type star]]|| This is the class of star of which the Sun is a standard member. They typically have a luminosity of ~1 L_☉. While they can make good use of [[Dyson Sphere]]s and [[Dyson Sphere#The Dyson Swarm|Dyson Swarm]]s, higher luminosity stars may be a better location for Dyson Sphere construction.

 

|'''<big>Class F star<big>'''|| [[File:F type star.png|150px|F type star]]|| These stars have a higher luminosity while being of similar size to Class G stars. This makes them better sites for construction of [[Dyson Sphere]]s, should no Class A or above stars be nearby.

|'''<big>Class A star<big>'''|| [[File:A type star.png|150px|A type star]]|| This class have fairly high luminosity, while not being particularly large. This makes them good sites for construction of [[Dyson Sphere]]s if materials are more limited, or there are no nearby Class B or O stars.

|'''<big>Class B star<big>'''|| [[File:B type star.png|150px|B type star]]|| This class have a high luminosity, while not being as large as Class O. This makes them excellent sites for construction of [[Dyson Sphere]]s if materials are more limited.

|'''<big>Class O star<big>'''|| [[File:O type star.png|150px|O type star]]|| The brightest star type, ideal for constructing [[Dyson Sphere]]s around them. However, they also tend to be the largest, and so require more materials to do so.

|'''<big>Giant star<big>'''|| [[File:Red giant.png|150px|Red giant]]|| Can be of any spectral class that main sequence stars belong to. Giants are >10R⊙ and have higher luminosity than their main sequence counterparts. Depending on spectral class, they are referred to as Red, Yellow, White and Blue giants.

|'''<big>White Dwarf<big>'''|| [[File:White dwarf.png|150px|White dwarf]]|| A stellar remnant following a nova, composed of electron-degenerate matter. Low luminosity makes them poor sites for construction of [[Dyson Sphere]]s. [[Dyson Sphere#The Dyson Swarm|Dyson Swarm]]s may however still be of some use with their much lower resource requirements.

|'''<big>Neutron Star<big>'''|| [[File:Neutron star.png|150px|Neutron star]]|| A stellar remnant following a supernova, composed of neutrons with a shell of electron-degenerate matter. Low luminosity makes them poor sites for construction of [[Dyson Sphere]]s. [[Dyson Sphere#The Dyson Swarm|Dyson Swarm]]s may however still be of some use with their much lower resource requirements.

 

 

|'''<big>Black Hole<big>'''|| [[File:Black hole.png|150px|Black hole]]|| A massive stellar remnant following a supernova, it has collapsed behind an event horizon. Usually surrounded by an accretion disc. Their extremely low luminosity makes construction of [[Dyson Sphere]]s or [[Dyson Sphere#The Dyson Swarm|Dyson Swarm]]s a vanity project, as they will produce little power.

 

It is one of the rarest stars, only one will be generated in a cluster.

 

[[Unipolar Magnet]]s can only be found on host planets orbiting a Neuton Star or Black Hole.
