VY Canis Majoris

VY Canis Majoris is a red hypergiant star in the constellation of Canis Major, the same constellation as Sirius. He was once a Master of the Stars, although he never did anything productive. Instead, he ordered his servants, Beta and Gamma Canis Majoris, to bring him food. With Mu Cephei, he lived in the Cygnus Loop during the time of his ruling. VY Canis Majoris was known for his cruel and unusual punishments, notably the separation of Altair and Vega. After that incident, VY Canis Majoris was almost immediately dethroned by UY Scuti to be the new primary Master of the Stars. Mu Cephei became the secondary Master, while VY Canis Majoris was completely kicked out. Beta and Gamma Canis Majoris now work for the current leaders.
