Addendum to the excellent stellar manipulation information provide by Douglas. This link
Based on simultaneous movement type game.

Create Nebula: (Correction to Douglas’ information on Create Nebula.)
Can only be issued at a star, but no star is necessary when the order is carried out in a remote system. (Just like a Create Black Hole.) Note the star where the order was issued is NOT affected by the creation of a Nebula in a remote system unlike the Create Black Hole were it deletes the star were the order is issued.

Ring-World and remote Creation of Nebula or Black hole:
The remote system use of Create Nebula or Create Black hole is not affected by the presents of a ring-world in the remote system. (I didn’t test with a sphere world.)
A system with a ring-world can be destroyed by creating a nebula or a black hole, by using a ship at a sun in another system to issue the stellar manipulation order after giving it orders to move to the target system.

Ring-World treated like a planet when destroyed by a create nebula:
Interestingly, if a ring-world is destroyed by creating a nebula, the ring-world will be reduced to an asteroid field just like any other planet that can be seen after the nebula cloud is destroyed.

(Not Tested, but...) Stellar manipulation of one sun in a multiple sun system is probably not affected by the present of a ring world or sphere world around the other sun or suns.

I don't know if this has been added or not. I looked under 4.12 Improving & Modifying Systems but did not see it.

Question: How do you clear up systems with organic infestation, and or other stellor items?

Answer:

1. Build A star making ship.
2. Build a Black Hole Making ship
3. Build a Black Hole Destroying ship
4. Send the Star Making ship to the system that you want to clear and make a star any where within the system. Then pull the ship out of the system to a safe location in a near bye system.
5. Use the black hole making ship to collaps the newly formed star into a black hole.
The black hole Stellor image will replace, organic infestation, exploded stars, system wide commet, etc.
6. Send in the black hole destroying ship and destroy the balck hole.
Presto the system is now clear. Send in your star maker and make a new star.
