The World Structure

The inhabited world exists on an ancient megastructure: a massive artificial ring orbiting a sun‑like star at approximately 1 AU.

Radius: ~1 AU (~149,597,870 km)

Habitable band width: approximately the diameter of Earth (~12,700 km)

Inner habitable surface area: roughly 23,400 Earth surface areas

The structure predates current civilizations and originates from the earliest advanced technological eras.

For nearly all inhabitants, the structure simply functions as “the world.”

Canon Naming Structure

Different cultures and institutions refer to the structure differently.

Orbital / Engineering Name

Orbital Habitat Ring Theta

Used in:

• orbital monitoring systems
• engineering documentation
• long‑term structural maintenance

Implication:

The designation Theta suggests the ring may be one of several planned or constructed rings.

Example usage:

“Thermal variance detected along Orbital Habitat Ring Theta, Segment 4413.”

Common shorthand:

Ring Theta
