Building Ekkaia
The system was relatively uninhabitable. There were the twin primordial fireball worlds, orbiting each other in their revolution, full of volcanos and toxic fumes, and then, further out, there was a shallow water world, teaming with young aquatic life.Then the gas giant. It rivaled Jupiter in size, holding 12 moons of decent size in its orbit. Its bluish color with purple swirled in was truly a sight to behold. And then, there were the two dead planets, nothing but barren rock.
A flash and a pair of gigantic cargo vessels of Elven design were left sitting beyond the dead planets at the rim of the system. They moved slowly towards the sun until they reached orbit of the of the gas giant. There, amongst the haphazard moons, was a most peculiar site. A metallic curve. What was actually a segment of a great circle, an Avari Ring-World.
OOC:
This will be the construction of the new Bajoni home. The system is secret, but if anyone would like to become involved, just ask.
"Where are the Menelmacari? They said they were bringing equipment for something."
"I don't know, but we can probably unload these construction drones."
"Can you believe that this will be our home? The system is beautiful, espescially with that blue sun. This place is truly worthy of the Bajoni. I can't wait for it to be finished."
The ships glided on, coming to a halt beside the great segment of the ring. The large ships were completely dwarfed by the structure. When it was complete, it's inner track would support life. Finally, the Avari and Silvan of Bajon would be free from the turmoil and the accursed lands of thier ancestors. Forests, oceans, rivers, mountains would all flourish in this new home...

The question was soon answered by the crimson flash of an opening tesseract, from which emerged a trio of Menelmacari Vingilot freighters painted in FHG colors, and a pair of destroyers escorting. Their gravitic drives began to carry them swiftly insystem.
"FHG Convoy Nenya contacting Bajoni defenders," came the comm; the convoy was named after the ancient Ring of Air, also known as the Ring of Adamant, both appropriate for a flotilla assigned to build the facility that would produce scrith, the material that would make up most of the new ringworld. "Please inform us as to where you want our refinery located, and we will get started on construction. We estimate it should be completed in approximately [three or four days, realtime]."
"If a surface is needed, we suggest the use of one of the gas giant's moons. If an orbital position will suffice, then we would suggest somewhere in orbit of the world. Once this is complete, production will grow exponentially. We are grateful to the Menelmacari."
Coordinates were sent for suitable moons and orbits.
Months and months had passed.
The Scrith Superstructure was nearing completion. The great ring now connected but gaps in the holding walls were still visibly present from afar. The substructure was coming together nicely, though it still had much to be done. And already, soil and plants from Earth and other such planets were being brought in on massive freighters. Soon, the Bajoni's home would be complete.
Only a few more months to go...
