| Arkab Prior A - Data Panel
System: Arkab Prior (Beta 1 Sagittarii) Primary: Arkab Prior A Stellar Type: B3 Luminosity: 440 x sol Region: Constellation Sagittarius - 382 ly from Sol Planets: formerly 4 subjovian and eujovian class- dismantled and reconfigured- Replaced by the A1A cloud, an efficient energy collection swarm, extending out to 3AU. Current allegiance: Negentropy Alliance Inhabited planetary remnants:
The inhabited worlds of Arkab Prior A were designed during the initial colonisation of Beta Sag in 4311, and created from the gas giant worlds which were being dismantled. However they were still too heated by the dismantling process to terraform or colonise for several thousand years, the first rain finally falling on Santos in 8019. During this period the population of Prior A was almost entirely virtual. By 9900 all three planets were habitable, and have stable, autonomous, nearbaseline human, populations. (total 8 billion) Political systems: -The axioms of Negentropy are observed, and society on the three terraformed worlds of A1A is stable and orderly, yet as pleasant as is possible. The three worlds are dedicated to three of the five axioms:

 Frunobulax Ring, a Tropical Maritime ring Separation: 3309 AU (9900 epoch) Stellar Class: A5 Luminosity: 13 x sol Current allegiance: Mutual Progress Association Planets: 1/ Bayer: Epistellar superjovian, orbit 0.8 AU, diameter 200,000 km converted to deep well industrial zone 1 remaining satellite Gzeut: extensive energy farms and processing nodes Main population centre Boltzmann (mostly Clan Esase, heat-adapted humans) 18,000 souls The extensive asteroid belt and all other satellites of Bayer have been dismantled and are being utilised to construct the A1B Necklace. Artificial habitats: The Arkab Prior B Necklace - in 2.7 AU orbit around Prior B. Construction of the Necklace was started in 6800 by the Mutual Progress alliance under the terms of the Prior B territory agreements. The first one hundred habitats, each originally of the open-ring type known as Bishop Rings were finished by 7500, many more have been added since (total number of habitats in 9900 is 213) Construction of a second string to the necklace has been commenced at 3.5 AU orbit, but no habitats have been completed to date. Since 8599 thirty two habitats have converted to MPA-Keterism and are now solid state computronium structures with virtual post-singularity inhabitants. These habitats have converted the carbon, aluminium and oxygen of the original habitats to diamondoid and corundumoid computronium and are often known as the Jewels or Jewelled Habitats, with external decorative shells of diamond, sapphire and ruby. All habitats are two thousand one hundred and six kilometres in diameter, and rotate at various speeds to produce various values of artificial gravity. The width of the ring floor is eight hundred and seventy kilometres in each case, giving a total living space of 5.8 million square kilometres each. The total area of available living surface at present in the Necklace is more than twice that of an average Earth type (Gaian subclass) planet, and this value will increase as more are constructed. Each habitat is open to space at the sides, with a 100 km high carbonfoam atmosphere wall to prevent loss of volatiles. Non-virtual population 18 Billion all species. (mostly near baseline or tweak, some splice, provolve, neogen, rianth. Average non-virtual population per habitat 98 million. Virtual population (mostly MPA-Keterist, rarely leaving the jewel habitats) 76 billion estimated. Each habitat is edge on to the local star, and collects stellar energy for processing and industry and also for illumination of the inner surface. This illumination is emitted by the central Lamp (or Luminaire) and is controlled to produce a tailored climate, which is specific to the ring concerned. Since 8754 the habitats have been connected by the Tubeway Cable, a continuous ring maglev vacuum railway which replaced the former rotating slingshot transport system.
