Ring 42

Found in the Dialran System, the Ring is a marvel of engineering, with a diameter of 2 AU and orbiting a G Class star and having a surface area of approximately 3 million times that of a typical M Class planet. First discovered during the If This Goes On... mission, the crew has discovered a variety of habitats and other features.

Engineering Systems

Thrusters

Large thrusters on the outer edge of the Ring have been discovered, and one repaired, which keep the Ring in the appropriate distance around its star, firing automatically as necessary.

Wildlife Trolley

At least two trolleys operating on a unique transporter system have been observed - collecting wildlife in one habitat and depositing it in another.

Places

Protectorate Village

A race of artificial beings calling themselves 'Protectorates' was discovered near the site of a starship crash on the surface. The inhabitants seem to have some collective memory of being 'built' to maintain Ring systems. The Village itself appears to be medieval - Earth in the middle ages - with more understanding of metalwork than typical of society at their stage.

Droimatcombe

A large, densly packed, abandoned, city spinward of the Protectorate Village. Statues, monuments, and other features seem to indicate different species cohabitated the city at the same time. Captain Oddas and a small team explored a large shopping complex and retrieved artifacts. Wild animals are known to roam the streets.
