Vessel Characteristics

– Interconnected through 15-25m wide pedestrian viaducts. – Vertical elevators embedded within armatures provide transit to central core. – Central hub for operations, mechanical equipment, and low- g experimentation / recreation. – Accommodation of leading propulsion system at the time of vessel inception. – Minimal cross section exposing leading vessel edges. Edges are beveled and reinforced to reduce damage from particle impact, a situational threat to all interstellar travel.

Moving Forward

Challenges to consider:

What is the right population
Weight penalty - structural design
How long is too long, How far is too far
Is there a currency
Social structure (democracy, oligarchy, commander?)
Knowledge transfer
Roles / Occupations
Supplies / Sustainability / Material durability
Disembarkation at arrival
Population control
Disaster preparedness
Primary stakeholders
