Scale issues. A SM+12 robo-miner/tug is around the size of one of the Pyramids; the station is around the size of the entirety of Egypt.


In case it might affect anyone's thought processes, I'm planning for the plot to be set a long time after this station was built, after several pre-industrial civilizations have risen and fallen internally. I want to heavily lean on the tropes of exploring the unknown, at several scales: not knowing what will be found inside the station, outside the station, and possibly even within the main characters if I can manage that level of subtlety. If I can get away with it, a more physics-compliant version of Dungeon Crawl Classics.
