1. Changed - Normal quadrant types no longer have 4 or 5 star systems.
2. Changed - Stars are now scaled more realistically by class (color).
3. Changed - Normal stars now all have average age. Added young stars for use in Protostar systems.
4. Added - Brown Dwarf, Red Giant and Neutron stars. Note that Asteroid Belt systems now contain a Brown Dwarf.
5. Added - New star portrait images.
6. Changed - Most types of star systems now have a multiple of 5 versions, to make the scripted chance types add up better.

Please note that this is a work in progress. There are bound to be quirks, which you should report. All suggestions for improvement are welcome!
