an idea to render it. To begin with an exterior scene.
Thanks to Lars R who reminded me about super-ellipsoids.

That looks like a good start. However, the ring is described as
toroidal in the first book.

Yes thanks, then later as like a cartwheel. Varley was not very
consistent, the width was either 25 Km or 250. Also it is almost
invisible from the outside. Which makes it hard to render. ;-)
I actually spent more time on Saturn's rings.

Looking good actually. Can a cartwheel have a toroidal body though? Like
a tyre? ;)
The width is probably closer to 250 km than 25, as the diameter is some
1300 km... also to accommodate the landscape.
Have you seen this site? http://ammonra.org/gaea/

250 km is what I used.

No. I did look but did not find. Thanks for the site.
I see that I will need to change the fins too.
The interior should be more challenging.
