Star Creation

[Slick]

Hey, all you Stellar Manipulation experts:

1) Does creating a star cause damage to any planets, ships, units in the system?

2) Is there a limit to the number of stars in the system other than the obvious number of empty sectors?

3) Can stars be created anywhere in the system? What about more than 1 in a sector?

4) Does having a Ring/Sphereworld in the system matter?

5) Is there anything special about a created star? i.e. do they act exactly like a map-generated star?

Thanks in advance.
