Across the many Sci fi universes, at least from more famous ones from games, tv shows and movies, there have always been a fascination about the size of ships, fighter crafts and stations. For example, the Death star of Star wars has been touted as one of the most iconic space stations/megastructures in fiction, measuring 160km in diameter which is equal to the halfway the distance between New York and Washington DC, but this massive thing pales in comparison to the other megastructures from franchises like Halo, Star trek, Warhammer and others. So here in this video we will make a list of the 10 Biggest Megastructures from Star trek, Star Wars, 40K, Halo and Independence Day.

Yeah, without a doubt. Like another commenter said, too, "the webway isn't as big as it seems on the galactic map because it doesn't exist in real space, it is it's own smaller space, which is the point of it. Although still probably #1 and containing multiple "realms" where planets and ships can still fly around and have battles." Best part is that the video didn't include the Precursor Star Road Network from Halo. Probably because there is no reliable imagery for its scale, in fact, there isn't really any reliable imagery for it at all. That was a genuinely Galaxy spanning network that existed in Real Space; plus it was mobile and could be weaponized (because it was indestructible to anything not the Halo array's pulse).

Blame! had one of the most ridiculous megastructures in sci-fi. The city is estimated to be at least 1.6 billion kilometers in diameter, or at least Jupiter's orbit. But even then, you never see the outside of the city, even after the main character travels for hundreds of years.

Sounds similar to a Alderson disk from Stellaris, which is pretty much exactly that. The fun begins when you start reaching giga and terastructures (terminology from the gigastructures mod for Stelllaris) Tera structure usually meaning putting a structure around the galactic black hole for basically either infinite living space or a gun that can destroy entire star clusters. And apparently that isn't even the peak of that mod, not to mention the other mods that make that somehow tame.

The megastructure in Blame! has a Jupiter size room inside of it. This would seemingly indicate that not only is the total diameter of the megastructure greater than the orbit of Jupiter (Killy is at one point in said room and he is operating deep inside the megastructure), but also that Jupiter itself was actually at one point encased within the megastructure and has since been completely used up for whatever ends.

Since 2012, the Halo series has had abysmal books on par with the worst Star Wars books--The Crystal Star, and Galaxies Ruins of Dantooine. Mass Effect did it to itself. William C. Dietz from Star Wars and Halo wrote a book, and Drew Karpyshyn, author of the Darth Bane trilogy--and then Bioware made a game without their involvement. I swear none of the newer writers have what it takes, and the old crowd is gone. I haven't read many Star Trek books.

In terms of sheer size though, it is simultaneously the size of a small star system, and that of twice the galaxy, requiring skilled navigators to guide along the twisting, confusing, shifting paths within. in terms of volume, though, we're looking at several orders of magnitude the size of the galaxy.

Are we counting the Precursor Star Roads? Because they can technically be considered to span the entire universe (think the Webway, except completely indestructible and literally beyond the comprehension of us as to what it is exactly), and potentially even other universes depending on whether or not the Precursors, who are one of the most insane species in all of sci-fi, were able to go to other universes. Which they almost certainly could, seeing as the Forerunners could already open portals to other universes. Also, that Dyson shell is technically only 23 centimeters (around 9 inches) in diameter. So it's actually VERY tiny. It's located INSIDE another shield installation, not much bigger than one of the original 12 Halo Rings, and it was more of an exercise of "we can literally create extra-dimensional places to build things" then anything particularly useful. So it could have been MUCH bigger.

Couple of things missing here--the second Death Star was significantly larger than the first, and was shown on screen.

Greg Bear and 343i were being a nuisance with this "Oh yeah, one of them isn't like the others, it was 3x bigger but it shrank to the same size as the others." A better thing to show us (considering the Greater Ark never shows up in the games, and why would there be Arks of two different sizes--or only two of them?) would be the construction facility for the Ark. Also, Sarcophagus is in a Slipspace Bubble and its dimensions clearly exist to one-up Star Trek. Not cool.

343's needless complication of the extended lore is one of the biggest issues I have with their handling of the franchise. Their writing, both in the EU and in the games comes off as mildly passable fanfiction at best.

I personally pass off all their "contributions" to the lore as an entirely separate timeline.

@@andrew3203 Dyson swarms (which are just somewhat-interconnected satellites) are theoretically capable of being built. A full-blown Dyson Sphere would require most of the raw mass that we can currently observe in the universe. Every other larger megastructure proposed involves being able to warp matter, energy, and physical dimensions in ways that are basically magic, in order to be created.

Perry Rhodan: - Chaotender, looks from the outside like an 36km wide black hole. But it is an enclosed miniature universum with 700.000 seperated segments. Each up to 80km in size. The time flow for each of this "segments" can be accelerated or stopped. A chaotender is "endgame" of the chaotic inclined multiuniversal beings. - Old Man, a half spherical disc of 200 km wide, 100 km height with 12 extensions of 50x50x10 km. Carrying 15.000 spherical battleships of 2500m diameter. - Gesetzgeber (Lawgiver), a spherical 1100 km ship, stabilizes and reestablishes the natrual laws arround it. (Special hello to the Chaos Gods) - Urmutter (foremother) a former planet that was completly robotised, 200.000 ships are this planet which can decentralise and centralise again. - Der Schwarm (the Swarm) a mobile miniature galaxy of 10.000 lightyears with solar systems inside. Surrounded by an energy field it could jump through hyperspace. The "Schwarm" transfered solar systems that were in his way for protection into hyperspace to make space for himself. - Die Tiefe (The Deep), an artificial land of one lightyear size. Each species got an 300.000 by 300.000 km area for colonisation. Die Tiefe was build in between the multiverses. - Kobaldblaue Walze, (cobaldblue cylinder) is only 6km long, it is "endgame". A ship of the higher multiuniversal beings. It takes 10.000 years to build. Its outer size does not reflect its nature. A tiny robot of 3mm size was once upon a time a huge multiple kilometre sized robot that was shrunk down but keeping its capabilities. Part of the "Walze" are dimensional pockets. This ships can attack immaterial beings that were created by the psionic energy from species ascending to an incorporal form from multiple galaxies.
