@KOLUMBUS has made an interesting discovery. The star Exaq RQ-X c1-0 is described as a "super hypergiant". Is this a new category? The solar radius is a record-breaking 2,642.0142. However, EDSM only categorises it as M4 Va with 0.5035 solar radii.

Thanks to all who have speculated and thought so diligently here.
Alone, the date of the today should nevertheless give to think.
Hopefully nobody is annoyed now, but I must admit, I also would not have thought that this works so well that thanks to
@Onkel Onkelson the contribution comes even into the FD forum.
But it seems that no one here has figured out that this was an April Fool's joke.
To explain it briefly, I took great pains to modify the screenshot of the system so that it looked as real as possible. This was done by changing the first two lines of the displayed text for the star, and the same for the sun radius, which I raised to a value equal to the distance to the main star.
Then I made the effort to photograph a similar red M-star so that it looks huge.
Here the original system map, that the two stars overlap, was actually a display error.
This is how it looked like in the original
And I hope nobody is angry with me because of that.
