JuHHov is a helium-burning star. Billions of years ago, its supply of hydrogen became exhausted. Without sufficient fuel to support the heavy shell of helium surrounding the core, the star collapsed. Soon, enough pressure had accumulated to allow the star to fuse helium into carbon. This reaction caused juHHov to grow into an immense red giant.

Those days have come and gone. Today, even juHHov's helium supply is waning. The star has collapsed into a red dwarf, a super-dense shell of its former self. Ribbons of hydrogen are still present at varying distances from the star-symptoms of an elderly star.

JuHHov's gross expansion to its red giant phase consumed any matter that may have been between it and its only remaining planet, Chronos. Its second collapse left this inner area populated with nothing more than wisps of hydrogen. The juHHov system is, therefore, completely safe for navigation at warp and sublight speeds.

This system is remarkable because life evolved after juHHov passed through its red giant stage. Generally, a red giant consumes any planets close to it. Once it collapses, the planets left behind are too far away to make use of the reduced solar energy. In effect, the planets are incinerated for billions of years and then frozen when the solar bombardments retreat.

Chronos has defied the odds by developing an M-class environment and giving rise to the great warrior race of the Klingons and their interstellar empire. Now, this system is better characterized by comparing the large number of military posts and space stations in orbit.
