Tyeyo is the name given to the yellow-white primary star of the Kusyu (Kuzu) star system.

• Kusyu (Kuzu) is the homeworld of the Aslan race.

Description (Specifications)

Tyeyo's white dwarf companion, Saietaie, orbits at a distance of 0.03AU. It was originally the more massive (and hence "bluer") of the two stars, but used up its core hydrogen faster than Tyeyo as a result, and hence entered the giant-branch as a red giant sooner. It lost about half of its mass toward the end of its helium-burning giant-phase as a planetary nebula when the outer layers of the giant star became gravitationally unbound as the giant continued to expand, leaving behind only the degenerate core.

Kusyu has two stars in the star system.
