Yeah, without a doubt. Like another commenter said, too, "the webway isn't as big as it seems on the galactic map because it doesn't exist in real space, it is it's own smaller space, which is the point of it. Although still probably #1 and containing multiple "realms" where planets and ships can still fly around and have battles." Best part is that the video didn't include the Precursor Star Road Network from Halo. Probably because there is no reliable imagery for its scale, in fact, there isn't really any reliable imagery for it at all. That was a genuinely Galaxy spanning network that existed in Real Space; plus it was mobile and could be weaponized (because it was indestructible to anything not the Halo array's pulse).

There's a load of inventions the Precursors have that would be basically tier 0 megastructures. More like superstructures or hyperstructures. Take the star roads for example: similar to the Webway but far more effective and span multiple planes of existence, able to transport to either different dimensions or galaxies. Besides the terrifying fact that the star roads are basically a more powerful and weaponizable Webway.

"Who the hell do you think we are?" ~ Dai Gurren Brigade

Are we counting the Precursor Star Roads? Because they can technically be considered to span the entire universe (think the Webway, except completely indestructible and literally beyond the comprehension of us as to what it is exactly), and potentially even other universes depending on whether or not the Precursors, who are one of the most insane species in all of sci-fi, were able to go to other universes. Which they almost certainly could, seeing as the Forerunners could already open portals to other universes. Also, that Dyson shell is technically only 23 centimeters (around 9 inches) in diameter. So it's actually VERY tiny. It's located INSIDE another shield installation, not much bigger than one of the original 12 Halo Rings, and it was more of an exercise of "we can literally create extra-dimensional places to build things" then anything particularly useful. So it could have been MUCH bigger.

I think many people have already pointed out that the web way isn't a great choice for structure as it's a whole pocket dimension. You could argue structures in the warp that are beyond comprehension (so infinite yet finite) as options but these don't make much sense imo. I would've probably listed the Pariah Nexus or one of the many mega constructs made by the Necrons during the war in heaven as the top entry. Those behave more like actual structures as opposed to entire dimensions.

Couple of things missing here--the second Death Star was significantly larger than the first, and was shown on screen. As far as I'm concerned, there was only one Ark in Halo--the one that appeared in the games. Greg Bear and 343i were being a nuisance with this "Oh yeah, one of them isn't like the others, it was 3x bigger but it shrank to the same size as the others." A better thing to show us (considering the Greater Ark never shows up in the games, and why would there be Arks of two different sizes--or only two of them?) would be the construction facility for the Ark. Also, Sarcophagus is in a Slipspace Bubble and its dimensions clearly exist to one-up Star Trek. Not cool.

343's needless complication of the extended lore is one of the biggest issues I have with their handling of the franchise. Their writing, both in the EU and in the games comes off as mildly passable fanfiction at best. Do not forget, their version of the Halo universe is also the same universe in which Doctor Halsey hacks a Contender-Class AI with what is essentially an iPad. I personally pass off all their "contributions" to the lore as an entirely separate timeline.

If you want megastructures go read the Xelee Sequence, the stuff the Xelee and the Photino Bird's make dwarfs anything shown here (the Xelee at one point make a ring megastructure the size of the entire Galaxy), and even their basic fighter craft is sort of like a highly condensed material that unfolds into vast strcutures.

I think i n the episode of Star Trek Voyager where the crew first discover the Borg Unicomplex they outright say that there are only six of them in the galaxy.

Did I understand sth wrong because you say the starkiller base is 660km but at 1:38 under "physical information" is the diameter given and it says 5870km

Perry Rhodan: - Chaotender, looks from the outside like an 36km wide black hole. But it is an enclosed miniature universum with 700.000 seperated segments. Each up to 80km in size. The time flow for each of this "segments" can be accelerated or stopped. A chaotender is "endgame" of the chaotic inclined multiuniversal beings. - Old Man, a half spherical disc of 200 km wide, 100 km height with 12 extensions of 50x50x10 km. Carrying 15.000 spherical battleships of 2500m diameter. - Gesetzgeber (Lawgiver), a spherical 1100 km ship, stabilizes and reestablishes the natrual laws arround it. (Special hello to the Chaos Gods) - Urmutter (foremother) a former planet that was completly robotised, 200.000 ships are this planet which can decentralise and centralise again. - Der Schwarm (the Swarm) a mobile miniature galaxy of 10.000 lightyears with solar systems inside. Surrounded by an energy field it could jump through hyperspace. The "Schwarm" transfered solar systems that were in his way for protection into hyperspace to make space for himself. - Die Tiefe (The Deep), an artificial land of one lightyear size. Each species got an 300.000 by 300.000 km area for colonisation. Die Tiefe was build in between the multiverses. - Kobaldblaue Walze, (cobaldblue cylinder) is only 6km long, it is "endgame". A ship of the higher multiuniversal beings. It takes 10.000 years to build. Its outer size does not reflect its nature. A tiny robot of 3mm size was once upon a time a huge multiple kilometre sized robot that was shrunk down but keeping its capabilities. Part of the "Walze" are dimensional pockets. This ships can attack immaterial beings that were created by the psionic energy from species ascending to an incorporal form from multiple galaxies.

You should have mentioned the Alderson Disk from Stellaris.

@@thundere.b2314 You have to remember, that thing's size is vastly underestimated because it is hyper dense and works off fitting more stuff in a physical space like a Tardis. As in if it's destroyed without proper measures, it will create a black hole that will straight up consume the entire universe. And apparently the current form is only 0.00001% of it's progress.

So if I did the math right the mothership for ID resurgence can travel at 5.5% light speed. That’s pretty fast for a ship that big.

The biggest mega structure is and always will be the universe itself 👍

So, whats the difference ne between a dyson sphere and dyson shell?

so that means that there is a flat version of the Earth :D

The sarcophagus isn’t bigger than a Dyson sphere 🤨 I think you just mean Requiem. The Daidact’s shield world. 🤔 A Forerunner sarcophagus is probably about the same size as a Borg Tactical sphere

Why show the cryptum instead of an actual shield world for Halo?

I did not know there where two arks. I thought I was pretty deep in Halo lore. Maybe a Halo Wars thing. Or the TV show. I kinda just skimmed it.

Star killer base destroyed 5 worlds. Yet its power could destroy 1,000 worlds at most. Just guessing

No respect to the Disney trilogy but the output of the entire sun for about 4 days would vaporize Jupiter. So an entire star could destroy every planet in the galaxy, if its total energy were efficiently applied. Starkiller base is shown underpowered. The dumb thing about it is that you could instantly see it firing at any distance. That would be impossible no matter whether the beam fired through hyperspace or not

If you only count the carved out portion then yes the stupidly named Starkiller base in only 660 km but the entire planet size as you have here is 5,870 km in diameter. Last time I checked they had to move the whole planet.

It would take more energy to strip the millions of worlds of minerals needed to build it than you would get from the Dyson gubbins.

These Megastructures are inherently stupid. It's far more inefficient and vulnerable to invest in one singular structure than many smaller structures that can either be kept together or be many places at once. That's why you have "carrier groups" and not just a single massive floating island...
