'''White Sun''', or '''Bai Hu''' (''the White Tiger of the West''), is the central star of [[the Verse|the 'Verse]]. Around this star orbits the [[Central planets|Core planets]], also known as the [[White Sun system]], as well as the four additional stars that make up the stellar cluster: [[Georgia|Huang Long]], [[Red Sun|Zhu Que]], [[Kalidasa|Xuan Wu]], and [[Blue Sun (star)|Qing Long]].
The surface temperature of Bai Hu is at the upper limit of A-class stars, around 10,000 degrees Kelvin. The nearest planets orbit at a considerable distance, enabling them to support life (after terraforming).
 
   
 
==Background==
The Bai Hu system has two gas giants (brown dwarfs), fourteen terrestrial planets, twenty-six terrestrial moons, and one asteroid belt with 78-million catalogued objects. There are hundreds of millions of other objects in the local area, including smaller moons, lagrangian satellites, comets, and rogue bodies.

34 Tauri A was discovered in 2020, along with four other stars and fourteen gas giants nearby, located in the southeast quadrant of the constellation of [[Wikipedia:Taurus (constellation)|Taurus]], some 40 light-years from the solar system. While a vastly different star in size, magnitude, and temperature from the sun, projections indicate that the system could support life.

In the 2200's, robotic terraforming crews arrived in the system. The two main planets, [[Londinium]] and [[Sihnon]] were terraformed first, and colonization began. Shortly thereafter, many of the remaining planets and large moons were terraformed to support terrestrial life. After successful tests on the gas giant [[Burnham]], the two brown dwarfs in the system were helioformed into artificial protostars in the mid-2200's to enable their larger moons to support life.

White Sun, or Bai Hu (the White Tiger of the West), is the central star of the 'Verse. Around this star orbits the Core planets, also known as the White Sun system, as well as the four additional stars that make up the stellar cluster: Huang Long, Zhu Que, Xuan Wu, and Qing Long.

Background[]

White Sun was a high-magnitude, A-class star. Due to its immense mass (approx. 40 solar masses), it appears to be a relatively young star. The other stars orbiting it have the same attributes of main sequence stars, but must also therefore be young.

The surface temperature of White Sun is at the upper limit of A-class stars, around 10,000 Kelvin. The nearest planets orbit at a considerable distance, enabling them to support life (after terraforming).
