Hey, what's up with that one star?

Are our sensor arrays being messed with, or is it dimming extremely fast lately, somehow?

We really ought to investigate that. What the hell kind of a thing would mess with a whole entire star?!

Exploration Fleet, do the thing. You should assign a crack team on that one, just in case.
