Amplus Nova

Amplus Nova, or Amplus for short, is the star in the center of the Venezian System. It is a Type-A main-sequence star, according to its spectral class, with a surface temperature of approximately 7,500 Kelvin. It formed approximately 4.9 billion years ago from the gravitational collapse of matter within a region of a large molecular cloud. Most of this matter gathered in the center, whereas the rest flattened into an orbiting disk that became the planets within the Venezian System. The central mass became so hot and dense that it eventually initiated nuclear fusion in its core, which is theorized to be the main method of star creation.

Amplus Nova currently fuses about 1.2 billion tons of hydrogen into helium every second, converting 8 million tons of matter into energy every second as a result. This energy, which can take between 16,000 and 185,000 years to escape from its core, is the source of Amplus Nova’s light and heat. When hydrogen fusion in its core has diminished to the point at which the Sun is no longer in equilibrium, its core will undergo a marked increase in density and temperature while its outer layers expand, eventually transforming Amplus Nova into a red giant. It is calculated that the Sun will become sufficiently large to engulf the current orbits of Iratus, and render Venezia Prime uninhabitable; but not for about five billion years.

Not much else is known about Amplus Nova, however it is theorized that additional information about the star has been classified by High Command and the Armacham Technology Corporation, for some unknown reason.
