The Grid Layer
About 3000 AU below the surface of the Megastructure, the large tunnel coming from the Main Gate branches out perpendicularly into a hexagonal grid of slightly smaller tunnels approximately 20km in diameter. The grid has a pitch of just above 3AU.
So-called alcoves cut approximately 1km deep into the sides of these tunnels at irregular distances, often featuring exposed machinery of unclear purpose. The alcoves feature a localized gravity environment. Expeditions to the Grid Layer often aim to dismantle part of the technology found in these alcoves and sell it for profit.
