Red Dwarf System Civilizations

Red dwarf system civilizations are one of the most important models in alien-civilization theory: societies emerging around the galaxy’s most common stars. Drawing on modern exoplanet discoveries such as TRAPPIST-1, Proxima Centauri b, and TOI-700 d/e, the concept sits at the intersection of M-dwarf habitability, tidal locking, stellar flaring, and the question of whether the most common stars in the Milky Way might also host the most common civilizations.
