K-class stars, slightly cooler and not as bright as our Sun (not to be confused with K-cars, designed by somebody not as bright as my son, but not cool at all...).

Well, yes, "M-class planet" is strictly Star Trek, but we're allowing fictional stuff, so you're okay.

Oort cloud, a loose cloud of dust, comets, and planetismals surrounding the Solar system at a distance of about one light-year. Only loosely gravitationally bound to the Sun, the orbits of those comets can be disturbed by almost anything, including passing rogue stars and galactic gravitational waves.
