Construct

[Overview]
A Construct is a broad term relating to installations created by the old gods of the Akosian Empire. Typically of leviathan size (approximately 100 - 350 kilometers in length), and gargantuan power, Constructs are a common topic of discussion in Akosian sciences (particularly among archaeologists and engineers) and political circles and a figure of massive cultural fanaticism. Their original purpose, as well as their interior workings and contents, is purely based upon observations and scientific theory. No confirmed evidence has been gathered on the subject, as no Construct has ever been opened in recorded history.

All Constructs are generally the same in structure, resembling a grain seed with one main port on the bottom. The installation is covered in multiple experimental instruments for collecting data from its surroundings. Bright lights from between the massive plates of hull (the alloy is unknown in makeup, but known to be completely impervious to regular munitions) illuminate the surface of the station, and reveal almost all Constructs still maintain a very powerful and long-lasting energy source within.

Each Construct discovered has been found hovering above a terrestrial, life-supporting planet. Each has maintained a fixed position above the surface on the very edge of the atmosphere. It is has been theorized that the ships have a very powerful capability to control gravity, maintaining their geographic position. Constructs do not orbit their 'host' planet, maintaining the same position in the sky at all times. Some are visible to the inhabitants on ground level to the naked eye, and were mistaken for natural satellites until the invention of magnification technology.

Constructs are protected from improper and unsanctioned tampering by Akosian law. In-depth discussion of the installations are not permitted with foreign species and citizens, and each known Construct includes a heavy military escort, complimented by engineers and science personnel employed by the Imperial's government tier. Projects include accessing the inner contents of them, and eventually reverse-engineering the satellites.

Akos Prime
The Akos Prime Construct, known as the Prime Construct, consequently, is the largest known installation and piece of Old God technology. The installation is approximately 350 kilometers in length and has a width of almost 70 kilometers. The lights of the installation are a dark crimson, predicted to be due to the low amount of relative power this Construct has remaining.

The Construct is also notable for having the largest defense fleet out of all other old god installations, backed by three Akosian dreadnoughts as the backbone of its main fleet. The Construct is also surrounded by multiple permanent space stations housing highly-skilled scientists.
