Geras

Geras the oldest star in the Universe, forming in 13.676 billion BCE. It exists in the galaxy Ambrosia, within the outer reaches of the Dryas Cloud. It wandered a dark and empty universe, populated with nothing but hydrogen and photons, until it was captured by Ambrosia during its formation between 13 and 11 billion BCE.Template:Star SystemIn 4 billion BCE, it had a close encounter with a quadruple star system, stealing many planets and wreaking havoc upon the system. It now has 3 planets, one of them inhabited by an aquatic species (known as the Merbrekians) in the process of adapting to land. The planet in question is known as Merbrek, and the majority of its surface is covered in a purple carnivorous flora that posed a massive problem to explorers first stepping foot on Merbrek.

In 199,991CE, a signal was detected by researchers. The signal detected was extremely far off, at the edge of Geras' gravitational influence. When ships attempted to reach it, the signal faded away and was redetected at the opposite side of the system. After chasing the signal for weeks, telescopes were pointed at the signal, revealing a dark blue celestial body of unknown size and origin.
