Cybrex Alpha Ringworld
The Cybrex Alpha Ringworld is a massive ringworld that orbits the star Cybrex Alpha. Constructed approximately six hundred thousand years ago by the machine Cybrex, it was destroyed five thousand years after construction by a multinational coalition to wipe out the Cybrex. The ringworld was first discovered by Lokken deep-space scientists in 2301 CE, after discovering the ringworld's coordinates in encyrpted Cybrex hard drives recovered from archaeological sites.
The ringworld spans the entire planetary orbit of its host star, with a radius of approximately 0.8 AU, giving it a circumference of nearly six hundred million kilometres. Many structural or maintenance sections are relatively thin, while habitational arcs are approximately five thousand kilometres across. Based on various archaeological studies conducted, the ringworld was constructed in stages. The first stage was the construction of a thin star-spanning band, hosting rapid transit and maintenance sections, and habitable regions were "bolted on" later. The Cybrex may have still been in the process of constructing these habitable regions when Cybrex Alpha came under attack, as only four relatively small ones exist.
Due to age and heavy weapons damage, large segments of the ringworld are in disrepair or destroyed. Several structural sections have suffered catastrophic damage, and are only barely being held together by structural integrity fields. The life-supporting sections are exposed to vacuum, and their surface now resembles that of a barren world. Archaeological evidence indicates that the life-supporting regions of the ringworld were, during the time the Cybrex controlled it, extensively climate controlled with managed ecosystems, capable of supporting any known life. Despite the severe damage, many prominent scientists within the field of mega-engineering have suggested the ringworld could be repaired and restored, at least partially, to its former glory. The main issue would be the incredible amount of resources, particularly durasteel, required, as the ringworld's SIFs and shielding mechanisms are still intact.
