| KIC ={{Starbox end}}EPIC 204376071 is an M-type star in the constellation of Scorpius. Parallax measurements by the Gaia space observatory put the star at a distance of about {{Convert|440|ly|pc|abbr=off|lk=on}} from Earth.[3][8][13] It is likely a member of the Upper Sco Association, and is young enough that it has not yet become a main-sequence star yet.[3]

Unusual light fluctuations of the star, including up to an 80% dimming in brightness (i.e., "single 80% deep occultation of 1-day duration"), were observed by astronomers.[8][13] The unusual dimming was not only extremely deep, but also substantially asymmetric, with an egress about twice as long as the ingress.[12] Nonetheless, such an unusual dimming for EPIC 204376071 is much greater than the 22% dimming observed for Tabby's star.[23] Several explanations have been presented to explain the unusual dimming of the EPIC 204376071 star: one, orbiting dust or small particles; or two, a "transient accretion event of dusty material near the corotation radius of the star".[8] The unusual lightcurve of the star is similar to the lightcurve of a candidate exoplanet, KIC 10403228, which may have been caused by a "tilted ring system" orbiting the planet. In the case of EPIC 204376071, an orbiting brown dwarf or large planet, with a ring system, could cause a similar lightcurve, according to the researchers.[13]
