Starriser (short story)

Starriser is a term used to title a short story and urban legend that was created in the early years of the Stardust Century.

Story
"The shooting lights purge off hundreds of bits it calls stardust to create this century. On both our former and new home, we see these lights as stargazers as they trail across space, far from our view. Alas, one of these stars will go through a starrising and become something beautiful as we finally reach it: a vibrant sun. These stars will give birth to a spacer which will lead those abandoned by gravity into deep space, where we'll be seen as stars."

Term
During the Stardust Century,  the term Starriser was lifted off the urban legend to describe a mentally or physically powerful Spacer.
