Protoplanetary Disks

A very young star otherwise known as a Protostar, that has only just been "born" (in an astronomical time scale) and is still gathering mass from the molecular cloud that it was "born from", surrounding it is an accretion disk full of gas, dust and other materials. One day these will be star systems just like any other a player may encounter, but due to the immense amount of time it takes for that to happen, a player will not be able to see a system "evolve" from proto to a fully formed system, nor does it have any fully formed planets due to the very young age of the system. You will be able to harvest lots of gas and possibly other materials from the disk during the Space Stage.
