I purposely used crux for cross, and a capital R in ring to throw everyone off, because I thought it would be too obvious otherwise. Anyway; NICE Úlairi! You're up.
I'm quite happy to solve riddles (or attempt to do so), but I'm in the middle or writing up a report right now...so I'll let one of you guys come up with the challenge.
White Dwarf or Neutron Star - after shedding all of its outer layers or exploding from a Nova or Supernova - perhaps with a play on the word heir - i.e. heir = sun/son. The remnants of the star could also be considered new "heirs" to planets, stars, etc.
