Tau Alpha Complex

The Tau Alpha Complex is a space city in Jupiter’s orbit built by the Alpha Commission. Construction started in 2020, and it was completed in 2037, for Captain Alcut’s 250th birthday. The Tau Alpha Complex can hold upwards of 250 million people. Captain Alcut and his family lived the rest of their days on the complex.

Currently, there are over 150 Million people living in the Tau Alpha Complex.

Construction
The bulk of the Tau Alpha Complex is made of super obsidian, a material made from obsidian, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and steel. It is made exclusively by the Alpha Commission, and sells for high prices, as it is difficult to make. Other materials used include wood and steel for buildings within.

The cost of building the Tau Alpha Complex was, in total, upwards of $5.6 Trillion. It was truly an enormous undertaking, but with over 150 Million people living in the complex after its opening, the debt was eventually fully paid off.

Travel
In order for people to get there, they must take a spaceship. One of the most popular ships to take is called the Delta, a space cruise ship made for getting to the Tau Alpha Complex and back. Traveling from Earth to the Tau Alpha Complex takes about 4 days.
