A regular star prism consists of two regular N-sided star polygons joined together by N squares. A regular star antiprism consists of two regular N-sided star polygons joined together by 2N equilateral triangles. They are considered uniform polyhedra because they have regular polygons as faces and are vertex-transitive. Vertex transitivity means that for any two vertices of the polyhedron, there exists a translation, rotation, and/or reflection that leaves the outward appearance of the polyhedron unchanged yet moves one vertex to the other. Like regular prisms and antiprisms, they can be distinguished from other uniform polyhedra by the fact that they do not have polyhedral group (tetrahedral, octahedral, or icosahedral) rotational symmetries.
