No sarcasm intended...I was referring to the computer game "Marathon", 
which starts out on a colony ship with the same name. The ship was 
really a conversion of Deimos, one of the two moons of Mars, and was the 
size of a relatively large asteroid. There were other ships built from 
smaller asteroids...

Well, from what I have read, Deimos is roughly potato shaped. This looks 
like what I would expect to end up with after excavating and smoothing 
over a planetoid in the process of converting it to a habitable 
structure.

Hmm, the stabilizer for what?
