Some of those stars look like they're a sneeze away from a super-nova.

What is the stellar equivalent of 'morbidly obese'?

The biggest of those stars would make good backgrounds for an SF-nal Empire. You could have smaller star systems orbiting the massive central star and end up with scores or hundreds of habitable planets within sub-light accessible distances of one another.

Like the BattleStar Galactica home system?

I would think a really hot star with habitable moons of Gas Giants if the outer planets were in the Goldielocks zone.

Like Endor.
