The heart of the Beta Arae volume, which is the core of the Utopia Sphere, Beta Arae is surrounded by god-tech megastructures believed to hold part of the substrate for the Utopia Sphere archailect Chesed.

Beta Arae has four very small red dwarf companions in wide orbits; collectively these stars are known as the Beta Arae Bracelet. Each dwarf is surrounded by a partial dyson sphere, incorporating a wide range of environments and utopian societies.
