Intro

For this Hybrid Star Battle Series I will be sharing a new puzzle each week combining Star Battle with another puzzle genre. This week's genre is Pentopia. I struggled at first to find the right way to combine these rulesets, though (like many puzzle-solving deductions) it seems obvious in retrospect.

Rules

Standard Pentopia and Star Battle rules apply, where stars must be shaded.

• Pentopia: Shade some pentominoes of cells so that no pentominoes touch one another, not even diagonally. No two shaded pentominoes may be the same shape, counting rotations and reflections as the same. Clued cells cannot be shaded, and contain arrows indicating all of the orthogonal directions in which a shaded cell appears closest to the clued cell. At least one shaded cell must appear in the direction of an arrow.
• Star Battle: Place stars into some shaded cells such that each row and column contains exactly 2 stars (1 star in the example). Stars may not touch one another, not even diagonally.
