Spirit Stars (Splinters Alternate Universe)

Spirit Stars were mysterious celestial bodies that stood to mark the creation of a New Toa. All Toa seemed to have spirit stars, and often they would move to stay along with their Toa in sight.

History
Spirit Stars were created by the Great Spirit Mata Nui as a way to mark and confirm the existence of a Toa or team of Toa after their first task. For example, six of them were created for the Toa Metru after they had defeated and sealed Makuta in a cage of protodermis. They were created by electrical impulses inside of the robot, to come into the "skies" of the islands inside. Outside of the robot, they were projected by the Red Star whenever inhabitants of the Matoran Universe left the Great Spirit's body.

The Legends of Aranu
In ancient legend, the mythical Toa of Light named Aranu actually sought to get rid of his Toa Star, wanting instead to control his own fate and destiny. Using the infamous Mask of Destinies, he succeeded, making his Toa Star in the sky flicker and fade away. What became of him afterwords is to be determined by further myths featuring him.

Trivia

 * Though Spirit Stars seem to be a largely overlooked part of BIONICLE mythos, BIONICLEToa was fascinated with their inclusion in the canon, as they seemed to always mark the mythical sense that early BIONICLE had. He felt the need to include them in the Splinters continuity as a way to establish the legendary feel of the Toa.
