Star of Arabia

Completed in the closing decade of the 21st century, the Star of Arabia was a joint project of the Arab League and conceived as the most exclusive and technologically advanced tourist destination in the world.

Construction was handled primarily by Chinese and private US contractors, who had access to the heavy lift vehicles necessary to carry the vast components into low orbit. Once built, the internal nuclear power systems were installed to circumvent the need for aesthetically unsightly solar arrays.
