Skyler Base: Why rings?

(This is part of the continuing series about the design of Skyler Base)

The answer is: that's the way the Vuduri build things. This is seen numerous times in Rome's Revolution, The Ark Lords and Rome's Evolution. The Vuduri decided that the circle is the optimal geometric shape so all their cities are circular rings. It is only natural that they build their base in this way as well.

There are two main corridors going north-south and two minor corridors situated diagonally. The idea is it should take you the least amount of time to get there from here. You can see the basic layout here:




In Rome's Revolution, when Rei first awakened, he peered out of the bulkhead and tried to look up and down the corridors. He could not see very far because they curved around. When he first saw Rome, when she walked away, she disappeared down one of the corridors very quickly. As you will recall, when they released Rei, Rome took him down that corridor, past all of the rings, to the central corridor.

Tomorrow: Rei's apartment.
