Ring 42 was discovered on stardate 239702.11<ref>[[If_This_Goes_On..._(USS_Eagle)]]</ref>. Orbiting Dialran, a G-Type star, the ring has a diameter of approximately 2 AU, occupying the orbit of a typical M-Class planet. Designed with its inner surface facing the star, the Ring boasts a livable area of approximately 3 Million times that of typical class M planets. | Ring 42 was discovered on stardate 239702.11<ref>[[If_This_Goes_On..._(USS_Eagle)]]</ref>.

Calling the Ring a ‘ring’ is a bit of a misnomer, as there is an intricate ‘inner ring’ made up of panels and other control structures. These structures are largely unknown in function, but one of their practical functions is to provide the surface area with day and night cycles of approximately 13 | Calling the Ring a ‘ring’ is a bit of a misnomer, as there is an intricate ‘inner ring’ made up of panels and other control structures. These structures are largely unknown in function, but one of their practical functions is to provide the surface area with day and night cycles of approximately 13 hours each - making the standard day on the surface 26 hours. | ||
The surface of the Ring is home to a variety of biomes, ranging from swamps and forests, deserts and mountains, to (rarely) wastelands of bare metal. There are entire continents that appear to be well lived in, with cities and infrastructure at various levels of development, and many more that are simply untouched. In both cases, the Ring is waiting for crew exploration to discover its secrets - who built it, who came after them, what happened to them, and what technological marvels might be awaiting them. | The surface of the Ring is home to a variety of biomes, ranging from swamps and forests, deserts and mountains, to (rarely) wastelands of bare metal.
