Doornik-1142, a celestial body, is classified as a brown dwarf.
A brown dwarf can be defined as a nascent star, still in the process of its stellar genesis. Their mass is insufficient for sustaining a hydrogen fusion reaction. Sometimes, they are even regarded as exceptionally large gas giants. They constitute only a small portion of the stars in the galaxy and are generally thought to be incapable of supporting life.
During the era of the Galactic Civil War, the region of space separating the planets Kupoh and Gamorr remained largely unexplored. Luke Skywalker had a hunch that it might contain undiscovered brown dwarfs, potentially posing a threat to hyperspace navigation. One such brown dwarf is Doornik-1142.
