    $\begingroup$ This is interesting but it's worth noting that stars are somewhat .. hot to evolve sentient life, even directly on the surface $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @Zxyrra They are suggesting you surround the star with an envelope of life. Sure, you might have a vacuum gap to attenuate it; but a shell at approx 1 AU will have roughly the right amount of light hitting it to grow plants. It will be a big sphere, mostly full of vacuum. We can give it a name. Like Dyson Sphere. After the vacuum company. >_> <_< $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @Yakk how do you suggest evolving life in a place with sparse matter and an abundance of ionizing radiation? This is creative but it seems very difficult to do $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Who says they evolved there? It could be part of a colonisation effort by an alien species of your choice. $\endgroup$
