The home system of the Pua. They have recently started launching probes to nearby stars.

    500 m years sounds a bit too early, 1.5 billion years I think is better.

    However, also note that the Pua have a simple internal structure, meaning it's possible that the Pua evolved much faster and so may have only took 500m-1.5b years to evolve. Or the star is just exceptionally long-lived, or Peppercorn's hypothesis.

    ArolaunTech, IDK if your analysis is correct or not but what if (for example) a civilisation beyond our comprehention seeded the system, leapfrogging the usual evolutionary steps required.

    Such luminosities are produced by stars between about 1.5 and 1.8 times as massive as the Sun, living between 2 and 2.5 billion years. I don't think 2 billion years is enough to evolve life from bacteria all the way to an intelligent species, considering that Earth took 4 billion years until the first animals were born.

    I would like to comment on the star. Based on your "1 AU" measuring stick, we can estimate the Pua's home planet is about 2.5 - 3 AU from its star. If we assume that the home planet is at a similar temperature to Earth (it does appear to have water oceans), the star should be about 6 to 9 times as bright as the Sun.
