 |'''<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⊙ (with exceptions) and have higher luminosity than their main sequence counterparts. Depending on spectral class, they are referred to as Red, Yellow, White and Blue giants.

Giants are >10R⊙ (with exceptions) and have higher luminosity than their main sequence counterparts. Depending on spectral class, they are referred to as Red, Yellow, White and Blue giants. M-class Red giants and B-class Blue giants are the most common giant stars in the universe, while Yellow and White giants are extremely rare.

 |'''<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.
