Don't worry about it - in most cases, just make it up.
Glorantha is as deep of a setting as Tolkien's Middle-Earth, and unfortunately you've hit a nest of Glorantha-scholars here! But just like you don't need to know the geneaology of the Children of Hurin or the details of Tar-Aldarion's alteration of the Numenorian succession laws to enjoy Lord of the Rings or to roleplay in Middle Earth, you don't need to know anything outside of what is in the Sartar book to have a grand time playing games set in Glorantha.
What's a Star Captain? A god who came down from the stars to fight off the Darkness to save your people. Or maybe a hero who went to the stars and came back with magical Fire power from the Sky. Or maybe it is a star that stayed in heaven but also shined the way for your people. It is whatever you want it to be, need it to be, or think it would cool to be.
When in doubt, reach for the same place Greg and I go for Glorantha details - your imagination.
