Solarian abilities vs Spell Resistance
So in a recent game my Solarian was fully Photon attuned and was going to activate the supernovae (1d6 per Solarian level fire damage AoE of 10ft around Solarian).
The GM then asked me about spell resistance (presumably because the enemy had spell resistance) because I’m the usual GM and he assumed I knew the answer.
We did a quick rules read but none of us could find anywhere that explicitly says if Solarian abilities are affected by spell resistance.
The closest we found was that they are preternatural abilities not supernatural and that anywhere caster classes are mentioned Solarians aren’t.
No online forums seem to of faced this issue either.
We just quick ruled it for the combat but we all agreed that either case could be argued.
Does anyone know of any errata or rule that we might of missed explaining this?
Many thanks in advance.

As of right now, every Revelation is listed as Supernatural.
The (Su) stands for Supernatural, whereas (Ex) stands for Extraordinary and (Sp) stands for Spell-Like Ability.
The rules for the three types can be found HERE, but the important part you're looking for is "Supernatural abilities are magical but differ from spells in key ways. Unlike spells, which can be interrupted while being cast, supernatural abilities can’t be disrupted in combat. They aren’t subject to spell resistance or dispel magic, but they don’t function in areas where magic is suppressed or negated."
