I'm afraid your home system is doomed.

When you start the game, it gives you some options which determine how often random events occur and their maximum severity. I think it defaults to a max severity of catastrophic.

There isn't any technology you can research which will save the star; nothing in the stellar manipulation technologies will work here. Other than the original message warning you that the star will explode in 'X' years, there isn't anything that tells you how much time you've got left.

To be safe, move all your ships out of the system as the star's explosion kills everything in it.

Very, very bad roll of the dice!
