Tainted Star
The Tainted Star (HE 0437-5439) is a massive, unbound hypervelocity star possibly originating from the Bacterian Home Galaxy. It is a main sequence B-type star. The star's age is around 30 million years, and it is located around 200,000 light years away, further away than the Bacterian Home Galaxy. The star appears to be receding at an extremely high velocity of Template:Convert, or Template:Convert. At this speed, the star is no longer gravitationally bound and will leave the Milky Way System and escape into intergalactic space. It was thought to have originated in the Bacterian Home Galaxy and been ejected from it soon after birth. This could happen if it originally was one of a pair of stars and if there is a supermassive black hole in the BHG.
Exclusion zone
According to rumors, the Bacterian Empire has declared an exclusion zone of 1000 light years around the star for unknown reasons. No vessel of any kind is to enter this zone. There has been no official confirmation of this story.
