Just a disk of random stars with few additional details, but a nice start. I’ve overpopulated them to make the disk more dramatic at the moment. Just load up stars.unity from the Cluster-1 off of GitHub and you’ll see them.

Now to generate planetary systems for each star based on its color and add in a skybox to provide the black of deep space as a background. Note to self…don’t select eight thousand stars by mistake while trying to grab a screen clip…

It would be nice to surround them with coronal particle systems and texture them with sun-spots, but that will (perhaps) come. For now I’m more interested in building out the mechanics.
