The mass requirements of this structure are very large. Even if we disassemble 13.66 Sunlike stars, that only gives us ~13.6 solar masses of hydrogen and helium, and a few percent of other materials. Could this structure be made from a hollow balloon, like a toroidal Edersphere?
And perhaps the Terragens would build a smaller version first, as proof of concept? Even a toroidal Edersphere in deep space with a radius of 1 AU would be a major achievement. The larger version could be in the earliest stages of construction.
