These large scale solar power collectors are deployed orbiting the inner planets of the Sol system, funnelling a steady stream of energy cells to installations in the sun-starved outer reaches where power production would otherwise prove inefficient. Arrays of solar panels tilted to correct for orbital inclination surround three independent cores along the rotational axis. Here, surplus energy is stored in energy cells and finally transported along to the storage, self-sustaining habitation, and large docking areas at the base of the station. Each of the three discs, the centre of which is optionally equipped with orbital defence capabilities, can be freely rotated to dynamically adjust power output and provide more granular adjustment to primary systems of attitude control.
