White Dwarf Refuge Civilizations

White dwarf refuge civilizations are one of the most striking long-term survival models in alien-civilization theory: societies that endure the death of their parent star and rebuild around the small, cooling remnant left behind. Drawing on white dwarf habitable-zone studies, planetary system survival research, and post-stellar migration theory, the concept sits at the intersection of civilizational resilience, astroengineering, and stellar end-state adaptation.
