The Giano Habitat

The Giano Habitat is the only remaining functioning habitat in the Luyten system. It is currently owned and operated by the Pan-Virgo Industries corporation, and inhabited by approximately 3 million people.

The Habitat was an almost impossibly thin strip of hyper-engineered composite forged into a ring which rotated slowly about a central axis, giving the millions of people who lived on its surface a sense of gravity. The kilometers high transparent composite roof, criss-crossed with gently arching supports in a design reminiscent of the first geodesic hab-domes, cocooned the interior surface of the habitat’s lush surface with a warm and perfectly controlled atmosphere. Complex arrays of mirrors, magnetic torus manipulators and solar wind harvesters ensured that the habitat was always fed with the energy that it needed, and its citizens kept forever in the ideal environment. It was truly a wonder of galactic engineering. The Habitat was not only the pinnacle of human engineering, but the headquarters of some of the most powerful Corporations from the time before the Singularity had caused the great Schism in human civilization. The powerful digital defenses and the quick thinking of some of the greatest scientific minds in the galaxy had saved the Giano Habitat from the fate that had befallen so many other human societies and colonies at the hands of the HI.
