RingStation 1

The RingStation 1, more commonly known as RS1, was a prototype for artificial gravity created by V-Res in the orbit of Demet. The first step in a project to create a Ringworld, a similar concept with a massive ring with an atmosphere and livable habitats on its inner surface with gravity simulated through rotation.
The station was composed of a hollow square section approximately 20 wide by 10 feet tall. This was where the crew stayed to observe the effects of long term exposure in artificial gravity. This section was approximately 600 feet across. The stations power came from a 30 foot wide solar panel and backup generators stored at the bases of the 8 rods securing the panel to the station, known as spokes.
It also served as a dock for the USV Brina and USV Akiven during their construction. If necessary, their drives could be activated to move the station. This happened during the apex of the Mortu-Unem wars as it was moved to Altus with the help of the Elania, keeping the two prototype vessels safe.
