Bishops Ring

The Bishop's Ring is an advanced orbital habitat, a testament to humanity's ability to tame the vacuum of space and build thriving communities among the stars. Designed for deployment around any non-volatile planetary body, this macrostructure provides a permanent and self-sufficient home for up to 250,000 colonists.

Constructed from next-generation alloys reinforced with carbon nanotubes, the ring boasts exceptional tensile strength and resilience, making it capable of withstanding the immense stresses of constant rotation and cosmic exposure. Spanning nearly 20 kilometers in diameter, the habitat consists of two massive concentric rings, forming an expansive interior surface that houses residential zones, industrial hubs, and agricultural modules.

The structure rotates at a steady two revolutions per minute, generating a comfortable 1g of artificial gravity through centrifugal force. This ensures long-term habitation without the degenerative effects of microgravity, allowing colonists to live, work, and grow in an environment that closely mirrors Earth's own.

Within its vast enclosed spaces, the Bishop's Ring supports a closed-loop ecosystem, with sufficient area to cultivate all necessary food, recycle air and water, and maintain life support systems indefinitely. Modular by design, the colony can be expanded, upgraded, or repurposed to suit the specific needs of its host orbit—whether as a scientific outpost, industrial complex, or burgeoning civilian metropolis.

The Bishop's Ring is not just a colony; it is a symbol of progress, independence, and the boundless potential of spacefaring civilisation.
