Search complete: Opening topic: StarSpire.

Synopsis:
Completed in the year 3782, the StarSpire was constructed as a last defense against the alien race, the Bethracti. It also serves as a haven for humans that wish to evade the Bethracti's path of destruction.

Dimensions (Approximate):
Total Height: 21,000 Kilometers
Outer Rings' Diameter: 11,000 Kilometers
Outer Rings' Circumference: 35,000 Kilometers
Inner Rings' Diameter: 8,500 Kilometers
Inner Rings' Circumference: 27,000 Kilometers

Statistics> Population:
The StarSpire was created by razing 3 remote planets of their resources, resulting in its colossal size. This allows a carrying capacity of about 20 billion humans. The atmospheric pressure is simulated to mimic Earth's, as most of the ship's inhabitants are accustomed to earthlike planets. The entire ship sports extremely heavy shields, so as to protect the inhabitants of the hundreds of cities that coat the surface of the StarSpire.

Statistics>Ship>General:
The StarSpire is an Exodus/World Ender-class capital ship. It moves through space by micro-gravitational manipulation. This method utilizes the ship's gravitational field to propel itself from molecules that are emitted from the center of the ship. While the ship is extremely large, its architecture minimizes the effect of its gravitational pull on planets. However, close proximity to a planet does result in unusual seismic activity and abnormal tides. This is rarely a problem, because the StarSpire is not usually steered close to planets that are not intended to be destroyed. For long distance travel, it uses a massive warp drive. This must be used in the absolute vacuum of space, as the warp's size can suck in objects as large as stars. These objects would then be projected at faster-than-light speeds at the StarSpire on the other end of the warp, causing moderate to severe damage.

Statistics>Ship>Weapon Systems and Defenses:
The StarSpire's main weapon is its World Ender Complex at the center of the ship. It composed of a contained, highly gravitational field, coupled with a magnetic component that rips out the cores of nearby planets when activated. In addition, its arsenal includes 40,000,000 Anti-Spacecraft missile bays, 600,000 standard nuclear bombs launchers, 1000 heavy pulse turrets, 500 capital sustained laser turrets, 50 tactical mass drivers, and other weapons. One weapon that is rarely used is its tactical EMP pulse. The pulse is emitted from every part of the ship, and tends to blow away small stars and short out the electric utilities of entire star systems. The best defense of the StarSpire is its shields. They are designed so that the StarSpire could go through a star and exit the other side with the shields still intact.

Statistics>Ship>Self-Destruct:
In the event of imminent destruction, the StarSpire has a final weapon. The containment field that surrounds the gravitational field in the World Ender Complex can be disabled. This would cause StarSpire to effectively implode, absorbing everything within a 30,000,000 kilometer radius. The containment field takes about 1 hour to disable, allowing humans to escape through the warp pods on the ship.
