Dome Habitats are enclosed, pressurized habitats often used in the Galactyan Empire to colonize the surface of asteroids.
Structure
Dome Habitats consist of a dome-shaped elastic shell made of transparent Elastic Diamondoid Fiber Composites (commonly known as Pandifico), held up by the interior air pressure. Depending on where the habitats are constructed, the shells can either be directly attached to the surface or to a wall structure (this happens especially in deep valleys and canyons), or they can be attached to a structural base, that also contains the habitat's power generators and life support systems. The structural bases also act as a floor over which the internal environment is created, and host a series of Gravity Plates that can emulate standard Galactyan surface gravity parameters.
While in larger dome habitats the internal atmosphere may offer some level of protection against radiation, both small and large domes are outfitted with magnetic and electrostatic shielding to completely block out all harmful stellar and interstellar radiation that may compromise the health of inhabitants not outfitted with radiation resistance augmentations.
Energy Production
Dome Habitats can sustain their power generation systems in different ways. Considering how the utmost majority of Dome Habitats are outfitted with monopole-enhanced fusion reactors, the hydrogen or helium battery cells are either provided by other worlds in the star system, or gathered directly through an FTL ship outfitted with a Magnetic Ramscoop. A single scoop of interstellar Nebulae Gases can provide enough fuel for years.
