Author note: Thank you everyone who has sent comments to let me know how I need to improve my writing. I do have some things to say before I get on with the chapter though.
1) Ring worlds. I know that because I mentioned the Sangheilii many of you thought all the rings I mentioned were halo rings. I am informing you that the solar defense rings are inspired by the original source material: Ring World while the 2 habitat rings are halo rings. The rings themselves make sense even with Skynet's unlimited material because the original book states that a ring the size of earths solar orbit was: Six hundred million miles long by 1 million miles wide, by one thousand meters thick. So, the size of the ring and its origins aren't in question.
2) I would also appreciate if you would all review my other shorter story Retaliation, as I am going to be extending it and writing an actual story taking place after the events in Retaliation.
Codex:
Terminator rank system prefix:
Core: These make up the "civilian population" of Skynet's empire and mostly work with R&D, construction, and mapping.
Earth: These make up the majority of Skynet's military forces, as well as take responsibility as guardians over Skynet's stations and other extra planetary assets.
Sky: This is bestowed mostly on T-3000's as they are of the more advanced, faster thinki9ng, and more adaptable models. These are generals and admirals as well as special forces for Skynet. This is considered the most prestigious rank though Heaven has more leverage, since the units of this class share a prefix name with their creator/ mother.
Heaven: These troops each command a single core class ship, as well as act as monitors of the defense rings. These manage Skynet's empire when she isn't assuming direct control.
