A sprawling, toroid-shaped space station dominates the crimson-hued sky of the distant planet. The gargantuan structure's metallic surface glints in the soft light of twin suns, while delicate latticework of solar panels and antennae stretch out like ethereal filaments from its central hub. Against this backdrop of celestial grandeur, a lone astronaut floats serenely outside the station's airlock, tethered by a slender umbilical cord to the heart of the massive space-faring metropolis.
