It must be strange living on a planet circling an orphaned star, where there are virtually no other stars in the night sky

It wouldn't be strange at all, if that's all you have ever known.

Ever read the story "Nightfall" (Isaac Asimov)? It takes place on a world that's in the opposite situation as the one you just proposed. Excellent story, too.

I was thinking of precisely that story. Astute of you to notice.
