Thelas
20-04-2004, 02:08
Far out in the asteroid belt, a gigantic asteroid, almost a planet in its own right, had been towed into the area that composed Fleet Base Asteroid. The asteroid had been chosen for one simple reason, it had a massive core of solid metal, 800 km in diameter. This area was hollowed out, until only a very small layer remained. Inside this massive sphere, hundreds of spheres were constructed, each of them turned into decks, rooms were constructed, some of the massive spheres were turned into biospheres, all the animals native to Thelas were imported, five of these areas were created, each one of them a smaller version of each of the zones of Thelas.
The outer areas were turned into manufacturing and military facilities. Massive hangers were constructed, some large enough to hold the gigantic transports that Thelas used. Barracks were built. Enough to hold the entire Thelasi army, armories were built, massive industrial facilities, designed to build every weapon known to Thelasi scientists. Massive labs, biological labs, military labs, and more were built.
Also in the outer areas were massive Phase Dissembler Arrays, designed to reduce massive asteroids into their base components. There were also docking areas to accommodate resource collectors with smaller PDAs. Then there were the holding tanks to store the elements collected. Processing plants had been constructed, to fuse the raw elements into useful metals and compounds.
Within that area were the hydroponic zones, to grow the food for the billions that would live within the massive worldship. Even these buildings were fine examples of Thelasi technology, made to exacting specifications.
Then, closer to the center were the homes. Richer people had their homes closer to the center, while poorer people had homes closer to the surface. Each home was an exact copy of what people had on Earth. Those who had no homes had the same houses that were issued to Thelasi privates, small, yet serviceable. With in that same zone were the entrepreneurial buildings, to give services to the citizens that lived there.
Scattered through these areas were massive Fusion cores, with Fission back-ups. There were more than a hundred of these generators, scattered throughout the facility. Each of them were surrounded by think armor, both to protect them from enemy weapons fire, and to protect the inhabitance from any accidents within the core room.
Right next to the core were the governmental buildings, most of them imitations of the buidings back in Thelas. Some of them were new though, the TMI building was the most noticed. Underneath it were the thousands of computers that composed Palantir, all of them new, the old computers would be moved there when the completion was announced.
In the center of the station was the greatest secret. A massive sphere of Crystalike, a generator of magic was held there. On the surface were six towers, each surrounded by a sphere of magic, each protected by great wards of power, each surrounded by a sphere of a strong, clear metal. On the “top” of the sphere was the greatest of the towers, the Tower of Shadow. Each of the towers were connected to the core by massive conduits of Crystalike, each one connected to the Tower of Shadow by another conduit.
Soon, the massive station would move to Earth, and there the people would be moved from Thelas to this station, then truly, the Thelasi would be a people of the stars.
As the station moved, the Thelasi made no attempt to hide it. The entire Thelasi fleet had been recalled, and they surrounded the station, protecting it. With a determined slowness, the station moved into Earth orbit, there it stopped, looking like a massive asteroid, then with a flash of energy, the rock and dirt disappeared, vaporized by the stations defense guns.
A massive sphere of metal, floated in space. The station moved next to the Sairi Cuori, waiting. Massive causeways swung out from the space station and connected to the worldship. Soon Thelasi began moving up the Star Ladder and into the worship. Estimates noted that it would take three months for the Thelasi and their possessions to be moved up into the space station and then another two months for the station to become self sufficient.
****************************
A figure stood at the top of the Tower of Fire, he watched the ships conducting their affairs all around him., he saw the Thelasi battle-fleets gathering, each headed by a Dagor El, then the swarms of fighters, one group came close to the tower, Kentherin smiled as the pilots saluted to him. It was truly time. Some Thelasi had remained on the planet as guards. The first journey of the Edenbar (New Home) station would be to Fleet Base Asteroid to transfer the final tools that would complete the construction capabilities of the base, then they would simply travel, never straying too far from Earth, but always moving.
First though… he should inform Empress Ithenril, she was planning a party to christen the station. It would be big, with the Aelosian Queen and nobles being invited, Lady Sirithil would of corse be invited, Lady Feaelen of the C’tan would be invited… and of corse a general invitation.
To: Queen Aelosia and Aelosian noblemen, Lady Sirithil nos Feanor, Lady Feaelen of the C’tan, and leaders of the world.
From: Empress Ithenril
As many of you have noticed, a massive space station has been moved in orbit above Thelas, this is the Edenbar station, a massive worldship, upon which the Thelasi are moving.
To inaugurate the completion of this station, you are formally invited to a general Ball and reception upon this station. Please, leave your weapons behind this is to be a neutral and peaceful reception. Please come to Thelasi Capitol, International Airport, where you will be transferred to a star-shuttle going up to the station, if you have a star shuttle, please go to docking bay nine on the station.

OOC: Note, the message was Blind Carbon Copied, so you do not know who it was sent to.
Also, most of this happens in the past, most of this took several years to construct, I am fudging things a little bit so that I do not have to wait RL years to be able to use this.
