67IACULUMIACULUM, an interpretation of OR1GYN, is the first space station and home for the space colonizers. In addition to its duty of being the terminal station for space missions including interstellar travels, IACULUM can be the home for thousands of people for longer periods.
10Space CloudThis project aims at the minimum cost-effective habitat installation by maintaining the basic needs of people. Asteroid mining is used for establish this habitat.
4ChronosThe structure of the settlement is 6-7 gears (imitation of clockwork). Each module is joined together by connecting the grooves, so a single system of modules is formed - it is a space settlement. At any time, modules can dock and fly apart in different directions bypassing meteorites and other space obstacles.
