Orbital Ring Station

-

A spinning ring habitat encircles a glowing gas giant, using its own rotation to generate artificial gravity: as the ring spins, centrifugal force presses occupants outward against the inner hull just like weight under gravity. Lit habitat modules ride around the ring's rim while docking ships approach, latch onto a fixed port, and depart again on a repeating logistics cycle. Spin faster and the simulated gravity increases; slow it down and the station drifts toward weightlessness.
