*whack whack* Haven't you been paying attention to the OU claiming
"all the useless M stars" and Alarishi Empire claiming all th useful
ones? M stars are small, cool, red (comparatively, you'd still see
them as white), not likely to have habitable planets.
Alarish (the 'planet', actually a moon) orbits a brown
dwarf/superjovian planet, which provides more insolation (mostly in
infrared) than the M class star which the superjovian orbits.
