Omeldor-1

General Information

Overview

The Omeldor-1 is a massive artificial planetoid, known also as a World Station. It was constructed by the members of the Sisgardian Fellowship of Nation, in a project that took several decades to be completed. With the supporting -both in construction and resources- of the Federal Business Combine, the Omeldor-1 was constructed slowly but steady and securely, every part of the general process fully overseen. The working site used to build the Omeldor-1 was the Barbag Asteroid Field, part of the inner edge of the Kuiper Belt, and it's final destination, at least for now, is expected to be the Point Thae, midway from Earth to Alpha Centauri. The Omeldor-1 is intended to become a hub for many nations to interact in a true space crucible. Similar to what Babylon 5 was, the Omeldor-1 seeks to offer a middleground for people of a myriad origins, a place for commerce and social interaction.

General Specifications

The Omeldor-1 is a spherical artificial planetoid. It's main bulk has a diameter of 1,000 kilometers (621 miles). Placed in statical orbit around it lie 34 satellites called Utility Moons and Battle Moons. Each one is a spherical station with a 5 kilometer (3 mile) diameter, capable of self movement, although they remain on their assigned locations most of the time. More details on the Moons below. A maximum amount of 140,000,000,000 inhabitants can be allocated inside the station (it would be theoretically possible to allocate more people, at the expenses of life quality), scattered among the Domes. There is a total of 785 domes placed around the Omeldor-1's surface, each one having capacity for over 150,000,000 inhabitants. Further details on the Domes below. The Omeldor-1 is fully self-sufficient in every aspect, from food growth to power generation and waste disposal. The world station, when fully functional, requires a crew of 800.000.000, in order to be controlled, protected and maintained. The crew will be mostly extracted from the station's own population, although there is a basic crew of 5.000.000 individuals, who are in control of the Moons and some of the basic functions of the Omeldor-1, sent before the migration began, and in charge of preparing the station for the arrivals. The actual crew will grow along with the population number (1% of the population will be hired as crew members).
