A Birch World would only have to be 1 ly in radius to have a 1 g surface if it was built around an artificial hypermassive black hole, one that was built by collapsing every star in a galaxy into it.

At least they died using the economic might of their Birch to destroy the Blokkat Harvesting Fleet that attacked their galaxy. Their people died as heroes.
Just lost to the stellarborne in my first ACOT play through. The last of my empire transmitted a universe-wide message to warn others of them and to never open those gates.

Had to re-watch this twice to properly understand the storyline. If you think about it a Birch World at it's maximum capacity would be able to produce, manufacture, have access to more resources from a Super Black hole plus a massive industrial output more then all the Imperium of Man's million worlds and the Galactic Empire from Isaac Asimov's Foundation series 25 million worlds combined. A Birch World is so massive it may rival even the Forerunner's feats and largest structures they made within slipspace instead of real space. Such as the Forerunner Shield World 006 Trevelyan with is 2 AU in diameter however it doesn't have as much layer depth like the Birch world does and is mainly hollow. Though I did hear discussions about 11th dimensional scaling but due to Halo's interdimensional cosmology being it's own I don't know how accurate that claim is.

Not, a Birch world has a diameter of 1 light-year, a forerunner shield world only 1AU or under 9 light minutes. A Birch world completely dwarfs any forerunner construct and all of them combined. The only thing that comes closer is the city of Comorragh in the web way of Warhammer for which the dark Eldars need to steal several stars to light up and even it would fall short.

You don’t need any sort of warp travel to move a star. All you need is an array of mirrors called a Shkadov Thrusters The star will move itself.

Reminds me of two scifi stories Ring world of course, but in particular the ringworms itself. On the ringworld were several great counterbalance oceans. In one of the oceans for giggles the creators had placed copies of the home world of basically every major life bearing world in the local area of space as they found them looong ago. This included earth and the Kzin homeworld, though earth was inhabited by honor erectus I think. The Kzin fulfilled the species dream of conquering earth by sailing huge ships to Earth's copy. A distance several times the distance from earth to our moon.
Our bone boy never fails to impress.

@@TheRedKing true, but the way you said thing was like the entire galaxy got destroyed, and nobody could maintain the birch (which wouldn't have happen if at laest 1 empire was still alive), after it just me and my ussual misendesstanding of thing :)
The birch world origin is top notch story telling and it really sparks curiocity. The immense scale and time we are dealing with is incredible, how civilizations upon civilizations was born and wiped out over so meny millenia on a simple shell of a birch world. The structure is a universe in itself. Its not really a balanced origin but its very entertaining :)
Sheesh, didn't know Blame!'s prequel would be a footnote in stellaris
Gotta love Stellaris Mods Lore. But I'm too deep (all DLC!) on console so unfortunately no mod for me. :'(
A sphere .5 ly in diameter would apparently have the same surface area as 53 quadrillion Earth-sized planets. And that is _surface_ area, not land area. It would take light 1.5 earth years to travel around the surface of this sphere in a vacuum. I cannot imagine that they are the only sentient species within a couple of centuries travel ate pre-industrial speeds.

Since this was discovered after the invasion of the Blokkats - and the galactic defenders evidently failed, wouldn't that mean every star in this galaxy is dead/gone and the Birch World and black holes are basically the only thing left? Where did the ones who discovered this story come from?
