Abstract: Quartic gravity theory is considered with the Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangean $R+a{R}^2+b{R}_{muu}{R}^{muu},$ $R_{muu}$ being Ricci's tensor and R the curvature scalar. The parameters $a$ and $b$ are taken of order 1 km${}^2.$ Arguments are given which suggest that the effective theory so obtained may be a plausible approximation of a viable theory. A numerical integration is performed of the field equations for a free neutron gas. As in the standard Oppenheimer-Volkoff calculation the star mass increases with increasing central density until about 1 solar mass and then decreases. However a dramatic difference exists in the behaviour of the baryon number, which increases monotonically. The calculation suggests that the theory allows stars in equilibrium with arbitrary baryon number, no matter how large.
