Lar

Lar was an orange star located in the Mid Rim's D'Aelgoth sector. It was closely orbited by the tropical planet Mima II. Lar's gravitational influence on Mima II caused the planet's tectonic plates to be drawn across its surface in various directions, resulting in the constant creation of new geological features there.

The electromagnetic radiation emitted by Lar also had the effect of abundant plant and animal life emerging on Mima II, which featured vast jungles. The Bilars, a primate species indigenous to the planet's jungles, had no need to shield themselves from Lar due to their native habitat offering protection from exposure to Lar's radiation.
