As the star aged, it would vary in size and brightness. As it continued to burn, it would produce heavier elements until it exhausted it fuel. At that point, it would collapse into a white dwarf or neutron star. The outer layers had a chance of creating a supernova. On rare occasions, the giant star's core could become a black dwarf.

- The form a main-sequence (dwarf) star assumes as it approaches the end of its life. A dwarf star runs off the nuclear fusion of hydrogen atoms to helium in its core. When all the hydrogen in the core is exhausted, gravity compresses the remaining helium, raising its temperature; this ignites hydrogen fusion in a shell surrounding the core. The head from that fusion causes the star to expand greatly, and the resulting surface cooling transforms the star into a red giant. This process has already begun for Eldar's sun, the effects of which were originally estimated to reach the Eldarians' home planet sometime within the next several centuries to millenia. However, the Phantom craft accelerated tis process via the fusion of heavy hydrogen isotopes.
