This partial swarm intercepts less than three percent of the total luminosity of the star, with most of the intercepted energy utilised for life support systems of various kinds.

Star: HIP 84507
Type: G5
Luminosity: 2.5 x Sol
Distance from Sol: 644 ly
Distance from Beta Arae: 44 ly
Distance from Wilson Swarm: 42 ly

Four small terrestrial planets and a dense asteroid belt were disassembled to create this swarm.



Wallace is a Utopia Sphere dyson swarm, that contains several billion habitats of many sizes. A similar nearby dyson is called Wilson, but a larger fraction of the habitats in the Wallace swarm contain few or no sophonts, instead hosting complex wild ecologies with subsophont animals and animal-like organisms.The ecologies and local environments of each habitat are carefully maintained at optimal conditions by utility fog and low grade / partial angelnetting.

The habitats are very popular with biologists, animal psychologists, and ethnologists. The system is linked to Beta Arae by a medium gauge wormhole for visitors, and there are also several Godweb archailect-only links for the Utopia Sphere minds and their seraiphim.

Notable clades and houses include the Malacologists of New Duibbiyat and the Clade Aruan provolved molluscs.
