"You main-sequence stars are sheep and don't even realize it. Fuck the system, man. They just want you to fuse hydrogen into helium so you can fuse helium into other heavy elements until you collapse and go super-nova. But me, man, i don't play that game. I'm a minimalist."

Also, this y dwarf is a complete failure. Jovian planets (gas giants) are in many ways like failed stars. This y dwarf is also a failed star, but it also completely failed to become a jovian planet on top of that. Must have been all the PBR.
