"Starmining technology would offer extremely long-lived technic civilizations a means of holding back the encroaching Galactic night and vastly expanding their expected lifespans. Where a type-G star like our sun remains on the main sequence for some ten billion years, a lower-mass red dwarf has a lifespan exceeding ten trillion years. The largest type-O supergiants burn through their full lifespan in a mere few hundred thousand years. Such a star might contain the mass of well over 100 typical red dwarfs, each with an expected lifespan equivalent to twelve million giants.

"Starmining civilizations might, then, be expected to parcel out the mass of rare, giant, short-lived suns to create large numbers of low-mass stars, misers hoarding their reserves of hydrogen fuel far, far into the impenetrable cosmic dark of a remote futurity."
