Sol

aka the Sun, Great Orb.

Sol is a human name for their home star derived from Norse mythology. Sol, sun-goddess, daughter of Mundilfari, rode every day through the sky, in a chariot pulled by the horses Alswid ("all swift") and Aarvak ("early riser"). Sol was later adopted by the Romans, sometimes known as Sulis, and giving rise to the Sol Invictus sect, which included the Emporer Constantine.

Sol is an ordinary G2 star (a G type star being a star absorbing strong metallic lines in its spectrum) one of more than 100 billion stars in Mutter's Spiral.
