Changes: Hypergiant

Revision as of 20:32, 25 December 2015

The rare hypergiant star is one which shares similar characteristics with a supergiant star, but is a hundred times more massive than Sol. The theoretical lifespan of a hypergiant is one to two million years. Supposedly, like its supergiant companions, a hypergiant star will go supernova when it exhausts its supply of fuel and gravity crushes the inert remains.

Enterprise NX-01 was the first Earth ship to research a red hypergiant at close range in 2153; it was nearly a billion kilometers in circumference and was not expected to go supernova for another one hundred or two hundred years. (ENT: "Cogenitor")

In the final draft script of "Cogenitor", the hypergiant star therein was described as "a star on the verge of a supernova explosion. A central blue sun is surrounded by swirling bands of orange gasses. An awe-inspiring sight."
