The Thirteenth Constellation had a Story.

She was a flower : the symbol of fertility and feminism who fell in love with a galaxy far away. They loved each other so much that the skies too shook with their passion sometimes. But it was so forbidden by the All Father. He tried to separate them. Keep them away. But they tried to merge, to meet, to become one. But they were far. Too far to unite for eternity.

One day, she could not take it anymore. She ran across the obstacles created to keep them away to meet her: the one she loved. Finally in hope of the union forbidden by God : The All Father.

But to her deep sorrow, she found her already filled by stars and planets and other constellations. She had no place to incorporate her into herself despite her innate desire to. She came back to her own world, her own sky. But God was angry that she had abandoned the sky That she had left to unite with HER despite him forbidding their union. In punishment, he destroyed her: shattered and blasted her into bits and scattered her all over as an example. An example before mankind to the destruction that befalls when you try to be with someone not cut out for you.
She still roams the skies in dusk and dawns and in the tears of the sky.
