This paper is the first one of a series of two, in which we characterize a class of primary orbits of self maps of the 4-star with the branching point fixed. This class of orbits plays, for such maps, the same role as the directed primary orbits of self maps of the 3-star with the branching point fixed. Some of the primary orbits (namely, those having at most one coloured arrow) are characterized at once for the general case of n-star maps.
