Hi, im a newbie to this forum, but i know alot about Star Wars. Im a Star Wars fanatic. anyways, i was wondering how the "Glowpoint" featured in the Corellian Trilogy work? i heard it was a miniature star. but it can't be, because a star that big wouldn't put out enough energy to power the repulsor. If the sun where as big as you (mass and size) you would but out more warmth that it would.

I believe that it works because it is a micro-star of sorts. It could be a whitedwarf star or something along those lines although much smaller. Since there are micro-blackholes or singilarities out there in space there could also be micro-stars.
If you like the Glowpoint in the Corellian trilogy read up on it in the Agents of Chaos Duology which is part of the New Jedi Order

Stars work, by the way, thanks to the intense pressures in their core. You don't get those pressures in a collection of hydrogen small enough to share the couch.

yeah, i like those Agents of Chaos books, a mini star is a good idea, and the people who made Centerpoint are technologically advanced aliens, but if they were so smart, where the hell are they now?

Yeah, be sure to remind everyone that it's 30 characters, Mr. 41-Character man.
