Either Rose is adding extra formatting to be dramatic, or the Green Sun is just so important that its name spontaneously animates itself. I like both possibilities, but the former is very in-character.

Anyway - what do we know about the Green Sun?

GA: Ive Never Heard Of It

Kanaya, a Player who completed Sgrub, has never heard of it - meaning it's not part of the game's quest. It certainly sounds like the kind of thing Rose was looking for - an out-of-bounds secret.

It's green, which sure seems important. I cross-referenced its text colors against the Sburb logo, the Felt, and First Guardian lightning, and found no matches. I guess it's not going to be quite that easy.

It is notable, however, that the Sun's name uses the same formatting - and almost the same color- as the highest-ranking members of the Felt.

So far, there hasn't been much evidence that the Felt or Lord English are part of Sburb - and I don't see where they'd fit in, either. Lord English doesn't spawn in a Medium - he's summoned, through a cryptic ~ATH ritual involving the destruction of a universe.

I haven't really thought about this before, but Lord English is kind of an anti-Sburb. They both exploit predestination - one using it to create universes, and one using it to destroy them. Perhaps he's part of Paradox Space's greater ecosystem - a being who tears down old universes, in order to create space for new ones. Sburb already does the same thing to planets, after all.

Maybe, then, the game stores information about him because he's 'part of the equation', so to speak - it needs to account for him when choosing where to put its universe. The Green Sun could be his home, his weapon, the source of his power, or a symbolic name for the man himself, and the data describing it is buried, hidden from all but the most inquisitive Players.
