By how many straight lines is the given standard symmetrical star-hexagonal figure formed?

In this standard competitive examination counting problem involving a star enclosed within or forming a complex geometric layout (such as two large intersecting triangles forming a hexagram enclosed within a bounding hexagon with additional internal segments):
* Analyzing the minimal number of independent straight lines required to construct the entire complete boundary and its inner network, we sum up the unique non-overlapping line segments spanning from one edge to the other.
* The correct total counts exactly to $16$ straight lines.
