"...I could feed it some dying stars..." Raven muttered, "I mean, there are some nearby but it's risky. Most of these stars are independent stars, if I'm not careful, what remains of their sentience might take over the star I'm in charge of. That would be bad."
Within the vacuum of space, Raven hovered around and carefully considered his options. Beneath him was the star that he's in charge of. Currently, it's recovering but it's going to take time before it completely stabilized.
New born stars have a lifespan of about 20,000 years, it's quite short but depending on its potential and fortune, there are chances for it to evolve into Independent Stars.
What makes Independent Stars different is its sentience. New born stars doesn't have sentience which will be crucial for the further growth of the star. The sentience of an Independent Star is the one that will give birth to living creatures of the star.
