At a Glance
The Ring of Vol is an immobile superstructure found just inside the Goldilocks Zone of a red dwarf star with a brown dwarf companion. The structure is alien, its composition and design unknown to Federation science, and appears to be quite ancient. Its degrading superstructure suggests it has not been in continuous habitation, and that the most recent stage of re-use began less than fifty years ago.
The Ring's original purpose is unknown- its materials did not come from this system and there is no Class M world within the system. The two planets in the system are Class C dwarf planets, tide-locked to the star. Thus, the interest in this location and why is unclear. It may be a situation that this is a structural oasis in a desert and is inhabited because it could be repaired enough to be habitable.
