Thunderchild Enters Ser Space
Here we have the Thunderchild and the small 200m PK cruiser towing it to one of the docks along the outside of a Banks Orbital, an exotic matter-braced ring four million kilometers in diameter. This is a trinary system composed of a yellow dwarf (G2 V), an orange dwarf (K5 V) and a red dwarf (M3 V): Around the yellow dwarf we have three Orbitals (Each with a planetary hub) and three regular planets, arranged in an alternating pattern to form a hexagonal Klemperer rosette; the total surface area is approximately 550 times that of Earth. Around the orange dwarf we have another hexagonal rosette, this one composed of three regular planets and three 25,000km worlds, a rock-and-water-covered geodesic sphere built over an ice giant at such altitude so that its surface gravity is within 10% of Standard; the total surface area is about 15 times that of Earth. While the yellow and orange dwarfs orbit each other at a distance of about six billion kilometers, the red dwarf orbits around both of the larger stars at a distance of twenty-four billion kilometers; it is girdled by a Niven Ring, providing the surface area of approximately 135,000 Earths, beyond the Ring, it has two gas giant companions.

Well, considering that an Orbital is a closed system that, if it's not maintained, will merrily last for a few million years before the landmasses get eroded into the ocean, and that this one alone is the equivalent of 229 Earths, I'd say just about none. Energy's cheap. ^_^
