Orbi Ring

Orbi -Ring



After Earth decided on building a planet Torus, the Pan Saran Core world Spqr also decided on building one and thus the so called Age of Mega Structures officially begun in 4100.

Construction on the Spqr Ring begun in 4102, just two years after the Earth Torus (and 685 years after construction begun on the Ross Torus ).

The reasons for the Spqr Ring, now called the Orbi Torus, were different than those of Earth. Spqr was still heavily populated with a population reaching almost 13 Billion in 4100.

The reason were the many factories and industries still located on Spqr.

The Orbi Ring was to move much if not all heavy industry and a good portion of the population into the new construct and begin with environmental clean up and repair, as well as Restoration of antique palaces, temples and historic sites.

The Orbi Ring however was in design completely different to the others ( Petharia, Attika, Petra and Ulta also started Ring or Torus constructions in that time period)

It was conceived primarily as industry platform without agriculture or forest and river features as the Earth or the Ross Torus.

It was also designed with the Fleet in mind. Serving as a home base for several fleets, plus extensive ship yard facilities.

The already back then anticipated fleet upgrade (Uni Design 2.0) would need increased production capacity and the Ross 128 concept of linear production facilities was seen as the most practical and logical approach.

Back then a war against the Nul, the Galactic Council and the Shiss was a looming possibility and Admiral McElligotts plan to triple ship and military equipment production capacity by 5050 was realized with the Ross Torus and the Orbi Ring.

(The Ring projects in Andromeda and the LMC were of course part of that program and to expand Fleet assets in both of these galaxies without the necessity to shift fleet assets to such far distant Union territories)

(Both the Nul and the Golden Spheres were unionized or demilitarized at Orbi Ring[1])

Eight Union Fleets have their home base at the Orbi Ring.

After the Ring was officially completed in 5040, all planet based industry was and is moved to the Ring and the Spqr Rejuvenation and restoration project begun.
