Bajoran sun

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

The Bajoran sun is the sole star that makes up the Bajoran system.

The Bajorans used the light from the sun to power the solar sails in their lightships. (DS9: "Explorers")

Kira Taban once planted a tree near the family home that blotted out the sun from view from Kira Nerys' window "for kellipates". (DS9: "Progress")

In 2373, Benjamin Sisko experienced a pagh'tem'far in which Bajor's sun was blocked from view from B'hala by a swarm of locusts. (DS9: "Rapture")

Several weeks later, a Founder posing as Deep Space 9's Dr. Bashir attempted to destroy the sun using a bomb composed of trilithium, tekasite and protomatter. (DS9: "By Inferno's Light")

In 2375, Sisko was visiting the Kendra Province's Adarak Monastery when the sun set over the mountains. He later decided to build his house there, so he could watch the sun set over the mountains every night. (DS9: "Penumbra")
