Megastructure is a toroidal spinner. The part on the right is prety 
awkward with its tilted structures. They should be stepped.

Rama is Humongusly HUGE, your spinner could easily fit inside, many 
times in the length of Rama. The "light trenches" are, if I remembre 
correctly, well over 1Km whide and more than 100Km long...
Even been hollow, it's large enough to exerce a notable gravity of it's 
own, especialy on the ends.
