Tralais B Star Lifter

Star lifter ring world megastructure built by the Grand Artanat Empire around Tralais B, the class K star of the Tralais Binary System.
The megastructure, obviously, extracts a lot of hydrogen plasma from the star, and the hydrogen is converted into starship reactor fuel that the Grand Artanat Empire, as well as various other factions, all use so often. This makes the Tralais B star lifter highly valuable for fuel, so the GAE naturally built defence systems on the ring world. It is armed with a large number of anti ship weapons, such as plasma cannons and missiles, and is designed in a way that can target an attacking force from any direction. Specifically, the turrets are mounted in large rotating rings built into the ring world which allows them to face any direction. On the Tralais B star lifter, there are 200 of these rotating ring turrets, and 2 turrets exist on each ring, so there are 400 high power plasma cannons available. Additionally, it has a large number of CIWS weapons, as well as orbiting stations that can launch fighters and fire their own weapons. This makes the star well fortified.
The star lifter itself is powered by its own hydrogen, and a number of large fusion reactors present also allows the station to produce other elements through transmutation, but after iron-56 this becomes energy negative. This is sometimes used to fabricate metals such as iron, but mining it normally is far cheaper than producing it through transmutation.This star lifter is a large, magnetic field resonance type of star lifter.
