Weak Star

"What a pitiful star system." Ves remarked. "Then again, brown dwarf systems are all pitiful by definition."

This was not the first time that he had entered a brown dwarf system. The current space environment was disappointingly similar to the environment of the last one he visited.

Ves did not call the star system pitiful for nothing. It was devoid of a rich collection of satellites. It only featured one tiny rocky planet while the rest amounted to asteroids.

The brown dwarf star itself was also rather pathetic. It was on the smaller end of this star type and was quite dim compared to proper stars.

It produced a lot of infrared radiation, but the relatively tiny size of the brown dwarf meant that it was barely competent in its ability to warm up the surrounding space.

"Some astrophysicists are in favor of classifying brown dwarfs as rogue planets. They claim that it is misleading to call them stars." Gloriana noted as she stood at his side.
