So much concept, it'll make your brain bleed! Okay, maybe not.
Misc notes:
--The colony section is pressurized, but somewhat unstable. Most of the workers live there, and constantly have to be on the lookout for air leaks.
--The foremen and other administration types live inside the asteroid itself, in more comfortable conditions (the little side bubble there.)
--Most of the interternal structure and mooring for the colony was salvage from the mirrors and hull.
--The remaining mirror is inefficient; the colony is fairly dark most of the day and relies on ambient light due to low power production.
--The farming pod is accessible from inside the asteroid, and produces ~80% of the food needed. It might meet all of it, but a section is devoted to grains purely for booze. The workers would likely rebel against the operators if not for the outlet of alcohol.
--Situated close to Gamma Point, supplying a large portion of their raw materials.
--The lump by the colony is a slag pile. It's mostly unslavageable. The pile was started over a section of the interior structure that collapsed during an early SPAMER outbreak. It was never thought economically reasonable to even open up the wing for inspection, even though nobody was left alive that knew what was in there.
--For a small while, MS Rho Beta was used as a testing ground for new technologies. Most dealt with mining, such as the contruction-class AVA-TARs still used in operations today.
As for the bar, it would be inside the colony itself, but close to the bottom where the plates are attached to moor the colony down. Neart the glass, it's dangerous due to the possibility of depressurization should the some glass finally give way, but people enjoy the view.
EDIT: Being concept, I think it could use alittle more 'fleshing out' in the rear. I want a L-ish shape for the colony to sit in, but went a little too L-ed. Think Pac-Man.
