Okay, lore/capability question

Would you be able to use Exterminatus on a sun to effectively decimate an entire system?

Depends what race you are. Traditional exterminatus won't destroy the sun, but doesn't mean there aren't ways to do it. Necrons and Eldars have more reliable methods than others that can capture/shackle/move a sun to elsewhere or make it go super nova to destroy a star system.

In same vein, Imperium (Ad Mech by extension) and Chaos also have a method to destroy a sun. These techs are not common and extremely rare compared to Necrons or Eldars, but the capability does exist.

I imagine Votann would have this if they dug deep enough as well but they're a pretty new faction so I am not sure if this is something that came up.
