A Star system is a galactic feature consisting of a star and its orbiting planets and asteroids. Every star system has three zones proceeding outwards from the star: dead, habitable and outer. Dead zones contain only scorched, dead planets, while habitable zones can contain habitable planets. Outer zones contain gas giants, frozen dead planets and asteroids.
