SciFi and Fantasy Art: World's in a bubble

Void Engineering experts Venon were responsible for the development of what is known as a World in a bubble. Originally intended for use by Venon only for adminstrative purposes, enquiries by many clients about the World's in a Bubble led Venon to start manufacturing them for others who could afford the 23 million credit price tag that came with it.

The World in a Bubble is a double sided station, with a dome like structure on either side. On one side (The Green Side), the dome supports a complex ecology system, while the other (The City Side) supports a moderate size city like structure. Not only does the Green Side provide a better quality atmosphere to support the City Side, but it also provides the workers in the City Side with a beautiful location for rest and relaxation.

The picture below shows two World's in a bubble orbitting a icy world and it's asteroid like moon in the nation of Delta Feareo.

'A growing trend amongst the youth brought up on a World in a Bubble is something called Hole Diving. The youth climbs as high as he can on the city side above one of the access tubes that connects the two sides of the station before jumping into the tube. The Gravity generated on the city side pulls them down at normal terminal velocity into the tube before it shoots them out of the other side of the tube into the Green Side. There, at around ten to twenty feet above the surface on the Green side, the Green Side's gravity pulls them back towards the access tube where the delighted youth spends around a minute bouncing between the two gravity zones of the two sides until they finally come to a rest in the zero-gravity centre of the access tube.'
