Should Nibiru in this Alternate Solar System be Binary to the Sun?

[fredinno]

Regarding this thread. If the system is not binary, I can incorporate iron planets and make it like the KSP system (Kerbol) as much as possible. If not, then I will have to make a few adjustments.

I think yes.

As there are already suggested lead planets (instead of silicate ones), it would be not very fantastic to imagine that Nibiru is a large and white-hot planet made of uranium:
looking like a small star, sending neutrons and photons around itself where it flies; returning to the Earth/Kerbin (or how it's called) once per NNNNN years as an ominous omen visible even on the noon sky,
and those dense lead planets are either remains of the greater proto-Nibiru, or Nibiru's slinks.

Not lead, iron. And I can't get what else you're saying.

I thought that you mean the Nibiru as a twin luminary, a pair for Sun.

So, (inspired by the metal planets from the 1st page of that theme), I meant that:
if you take a planet-sized ball of uranium (238, of course, to prevent unpredictable results), you get a giant celestial RTG, several thousand kelvins hot, radiating light, neutrons, etc.

In this case there is no need to make it a "binary" to the Sun (i.e. an object of the same rank as the Sun), but such Nibiru would also be a Nemesis, orbiting the Sun on a highly eccentric orbit (like both Nibiru and Nemesis in TV mythology and like similar "omen stars" in fiction novels), with upper mass limit from zero to two solar masses (as U cannot into fusion), and enough dangerous to appear close to it.

Maybe I misunderstood term "binary to the Sun" here.

Nibiru is a nutters' imaginary end of the world thingy that they use to sell their kooky books. Case closed.

Read the title, it says Alternate Solar System, plus, it wouldn't have the same orbit as some people think it has from those weird books
