Fantastic find!
Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

Sometimes you can find stars which seem to have a certain mismatch between class and appearance. Your AE/BE falls into this cstegory and on my last trip I found a Wolf-Rayet that has the skin of a dirty brown dwarf (purple star with black spots). Will post pictures once I am done sifting my screenshot folder.
Makes me wonder if that is intentional or just the procedural generation messing up.

I'd guess it's just the occasional rare star that is at the extremity of the class characteristics.

Well, maybe. My knowledge of Ae/Be and Wolf-Rayet stars is limited to knowing that those exist, so I don't really know where the characteristic bounderies lie. (reminds me that I wanted to read up a bit more on Astronomie for quite some time now...)
Maybe someone more informed on these topics can share some light on this matter in the meantime.

Also, Eddy, please make sure to publish the system name once you are back. Your orange Herbig is going on my "future visits" list.

Nice find.

It's also worth noting that Herbig Ae/Be stars in ED are strange - in many cases they are way too massive and dense. With 25 solar masses, nuclear fusion should be already going on in this one, thus making it a main sequence star, not Herbig Ae/Be. And it wouldn't last long, considering the fact that all that mass is packed in just 0.36 Solar radii. I am not sure that this high degree of compression should be even possible.

Alright, here's the Wolf-Rayet I was talking about.
The description even says that because of their surface temperature they are burning in a brilliant blue. Brilliant blue my... DSS.
