It is a game- so I don't expect it to be 100% accurate, but the origin of this discussion was to possibly learn or infer more about Atys or other Ryzom things.
Because we obviously have an artificial light instead of a sun I would propose a couple ideas:
1. Atys does not orbit a star, the star does not emit sufficient usable light, or the orbit of Atys is very far from the star of this system.
2. Assuming that the artificial light is a technological structure (most likely in this case) it suggests the Karavan/MegaCorp have access to fusion. Its the only energy source in our current understanding of physics that would be able to produce energy comparable to a stars' power- because it is actually where star get their power from. But if they have fusion, why the heck did they bother with Atys? They could just take materials from Atys or the ringed planet or the orange moon and create a giant rotating habitat or floating city on the ringed world.
Yes, most of this is OOC. I am RP friendly but this is not solely a RP thread :)
