Complex

The Complex was a large red circular structure on Derislat that was over 3,000 km wide. It served as the center of government, as well as the being Derislat's financial, manufacturing, and societal center. Those that were well to do on Derislat were sent there to serve the planet the best way they could. Each year, one hundred people in the Complex would be granted access to Derislat's private spaceport, able to leave the planet for any location in the galaxy.

It consisted of two main ring gates with five smaller ring cities embedded into the second ring gate. The planet's spaceport was located directly in the center of the rings on the equator, as Derislatians believed the atmosphere was less at this latitude. Each ring city was separated by about 500 km, requiring the use of high-speed train travel between them. A train could travel from one city to another within 30 standard minutes.

The reasoning for the red color of the Complex was that it served two main purposes: 1) to attract outside species to investigate, which they usually revered as supreme beings worthy of their attention, and 2) red was a color of honor and esteem in Derislatian society.
