Welcome to the Welkin Sphere Project

This wiki is the home of the Welkin Sphere Project. The Welkin Sphere Project is a design document for a science fiction world along the lines of the Ringworld or a Dyson Sphere. The volume of this world is a bit greater than that of Jupiter. It is an artificial environment that is wholly enclosed by a impenetrable shell and filled with air at close to normal sea level pressure.

This world is intended to be used as a background for SF stories or role playing games.
It is freely available for use under the terms of the GNU FDL.

If you want to contribute to this world building project,
first please read the current events and contributors pages.

Roadmap for Background Articles

We have an intensive effort in place to create enough Welkin Sphere background information to start using the world for role playing.
To see the work that is under way, follow the links in the table to the right.

These articles are being created and updated as quickly as time permits.
The following outline shows our current thoughts on how this background information should be arranged.
