The last 3 games I've played the Xenos have colonized suns. Is that possible or just a bug?

Its possible. Think they're actually planets?

The stars on the map represent a star and it's orbital bodies.
The view you are seeing is slightly more zoomed out than ST RPG.
So when a Xeno, or a Faction, colonizes a system they're actually taking control of the things orbiting the star.
We debated what representative scale to use for the game and I think this one was a good compromise.

So even though they look like a sun, we can colonize them?

Yup, you're actually colonizing a solar system.

They seem to have better qualities than the white stars too...

Officer Genious - there are patterns that you will pick up on among the star types. I imagine in the tutorial, someone will point some of them out to you.
