Creating Stars
At the heart of your solar system will be at least one star (or perhaps, a post-star). This engine does more to influence the makeup of the system than any other piece.
Large, hot stars usually burn through their fuel and explode before a planetary system forms and may blow all the material components for making planets into the outer system or even out of the system altogether. On the opposite end, small, cool stars may last for a long time, but they lack sufficient gravity to on to much material (or planets) in the outer system. Large planets tend to escape from them.
Stars also vary in size, even in the main sequence (the period when a star is considered most stable).
