Titanoboa

A factory in sections on one coupling: a maw that eats a moon, furnaces, a hold, a wheel for the crew, a fabricator and a reactor. Tug teams assemble it where the work is; it leaves a station behind and comes apart to move on. Nobody has ever seen one hurry.

Built from modules

Fore to aft: Maw → Furnace → Furnace → Hold → Habitat → Fabricator → Reactor. Every module couples the same way, so the line-up changes with the job, and anyone can design a new one to the standard.

  • Maw 300 m · intake · designed by Witchspace
    The intake. A wide mouth that takes in a moon a little at a time, from haulers that never have to land. File
  • Furnace ×2 300 m · industry · designed by Witchspace
    A crucible for smelting, refining and the exotic materials. Wexley-Yorozu recommends you do not stand near it. File
  • Hold 320 m · logistics · designed by Witchspace
    Four cells for refined metal and imported goods around the spine, and a pad on each side for three tugs. File
  • Habitat 160 m · crew · designed by Witchspace
    A wheel on three spokes, turning for gravity. A few thousand workers live here, under the company mark. File
  • Fabricator 520 m · fabrication · designed by Witchspace
    An open cradle where station sections are made. They leave by the sides, and so, occasionally, does the crew. File
  • Reactor 300 m · power · designed by Witchspace
    A compact core behind a shadow shield, so everyone else lives in its shade, and four vanes shedding its heat. File

Its design

Original design, from Mark's modular Titanoboa. The Standard line-up, 2.2 km from maw to reactor; the Coriolis is 160 m. Assembled from content/modules by tools/titanoboa.ts. Scenery at Wexley-Yorozu yards, not for sale.
