The Tower (MC)

Name:  Atmos Atmospheric Archeotech
Nickname:  The Tower
Faction:  
Imperial Union Of Planets
Non-Faction Specific
Location:  Atmos
Notes:  Presumably constructed by one of the Old Ones, the Tower is composed of materials the Imperial Union Of Planets best technologies have proven unable to identify.  Stretching from the top of Atmos’s atmosphere to an unknown length beyond the deepest the toughest Union hardware can reach.  Best the Union’s experts can figure is the inaccessible depths of the Tower tap into the forces at the gas giant’s core to generate a next to limitless source of power.
Current analysis shows the Tower generates fields to isolate the habitable zone of Atmos’s atmosphere so as to keep a constant pressure and gas mix within.  These barriers, however, have proven fully permeable to starships and probes.  Studies of the accessible portions of the Tower’s interior shows intakes in regions below the habitable zone draw in gases that are then processed to extract and combined to create a breathable mix which is then pumped up to the habitable zone.  Though the habitable zone is scattered with no small number of artificially placed and naturally arrived flora to help maintain the survivability of the region, scans have shown waste gasses both sinking back into the planet’s lower depths and being reabsorbed by the Tower for processing.
Given the Tower’s effects on Atmos, the Union’s experts agree that it was an Old One terraforming project.  The deliberateness and specificness of what the Tower does makes it hard to theorize anything else.  Still, suspected docking points at the outermost section where power conduits can be found that seemingly just end, some think it was used to recharge ships as well.
