Caridan (star)
Caridan was the name of the primary star in the Carida system.[1] When Kyp Durron was controlled by the Sith Lord Exar Kun and took control of the superweapon Sun Crusher, the star was shot with a resonance torpedo. Upon impact, the torpedo burrowed into the star's core releasing dense packets of energy that rendered the star's core unstable, initiating a chain-reaction supernova. The star ripped itself apart in the explosion, sending waves of energy and radiation out across the system, destroying every planet in its path.
