Over the next few weeks, the transformed Tunesmith studied the knowledge of two advanced, high-tech cultures. Then he went to war to defend his world from invaders.Īfter a complicated series of interactions and technical innovations (including stealing the fastest spacecraft in the universe), Tunesmith deployed a nano-virus. This was used to give the Ringworld hyperspace flight capabilities. Tunesmith then had his world vanish to an unknown location. Tunesmith used to belonged to a sapient race, the Night People. Tunesmith was well-educated, but his people only had Middle Ages-level tech.īack then the Pak Protector of the Ringworld was one Bram, working to consolidate his rule. But Human explorer Louis Wu had such a poor opinion of Bram’s moral worth that he went an exposed Tunesmith to a tree of life. As hoped, this hubris-filled move mutated the Night Person into a Pak Protector.

“Ghouls”) as his family. Tunesmith could hurt a Ghoul if under dire need but it is doubtful he could kill one even to save his own life. Tunesmith feels that ruling the Ringworld (Ringworld) is the only way to make his people truly safe. Unlike many Protectors Tunesmith has adopted all (a hundred billion or so) of the Ringworld’s Night People (a.k.a. Tunesmith’s mind has some limits however. He continually needed help to understand complex human interactions or motivations.īecause he is a Protector he is hard locked into the motivation of everything he does must be to protect his blood line. The combination of brains and speed make it nearly inconceivable anything (in his context) but another Protector or a highly coordinated team attack could ever defeat him in combat.

Tunesmith’s ability to build devices is staggering in its rapidity and scale. He can create stuff as diverse a nanotech factory to create teleport disks, or new kinds of starships. There seems to be no hard sciences problem that he can’t solve given several weeks. One exception was the light speed barrier. Many things he can do instantaneously.Īs a protector Tunesmith is faster than anything human and has the reflexes of a ballerina on Crystal Meth. His skin has hardened to amour and his face has become a beak. Which Protectors are in charge of Ringworld changes several times. At one point it is Tunesmith and his forces.A Pak can turn into a Protector through exposure to the Tree of Life, a specific type of plant. This can also work for species descended from the Pak, such as Humans.Someone has been repairing and maintaining the ultra-vast structure. These are the Protectors, from the Pak species. There has been armed conflict with other high tech groups.A group of explorers (including Louis Wu) find that there culture there is fallen. Myriad of low tech societies have formed on the structure. Strong genetic variance has occurred but most inhabitants are near-humans.This is an artificial ring about one million miles wide and approximately the diameter of Earth’s orbit (which makes it about 600 million miles in circumference). It encircles a Sol-type star. It rotates, providing gravity that is 99.2% as strong as Earth’s through centrifugal force. The ring world has a habitable flat inner surface equivalent in area to approximately three million Earth-sized planets. Night is provided by an inner ring of shadow squares. These are connected to each other by thin ultra-strong shadow square wire.

During the 28 th century humanity discovers a ring world.
