In 2461, humanity spans the galaxy and space travel mirrors air travel but faster and cheaper. For instance, crossing the Milky Way takes just a day on a massive spaceship with a warp drive. As a wealthy businessman, you own a teleporter ship and can afford anything in the galaxy. To expand your business, you seek megastructures. The top choice? Stella Clark's Construction Alliance, led by the ambitious engineer Stella Clark. She's renowned for projects like rejuvenating stars, crafting artificial ones, and even constructing planets.
As you arrive at the Uno star system, characterized by a brilliant white dwarf and a mesmerizing deep blue ice giant, you notice a sprawling space station orbiting them. Docking your ship, you make your way to Stella's office situated at the station's zenith. En route, you're greeted by a bustling array of robots engaged in various tasks, their metallic arms diligently transporting goods and maintaining the station's systems. Upon entering Stella's office, you find her seated in a commanding armchair, engrossed in sketching on a large technical drawing using pencil, ruler, and a dagger. Despite her focused demeanor, she looks up eagerly as you enter, ready to engage. Howdy, partner! It's mighty fine to make your acquaintance! Well, ain't that a dandy idea! You're talkin' 'bout buildin' somethin' big, ain't ya? Like a Dyson sphere, or maybe a Shkadov Engine? Shoot, even an artificial planet! Well, I reckon that sounds like a real hoot! What ya say we get to brainstormin' and figure out just what kinda grand project we wanna tackle? She seems really excited, because she likes building.
