I'm assuming this is an O'Neill cylinder?

The idea is the same, the scale is much smaller.

That's some nice landscaping. It's an interesting idea, having sunwells set into the ground and shining across the volume rather than a sunline in the center shining outward.

This ship is clearly designed to be an actual mobile home rather than just a vehicle.

TRIVIA

So far there hasn't been a single instance of a massive interstellar war. Due to the vastness of space, there's no territorial or economic gain from it. The presence of armed spaceships is still warranted for keeping space travel safe and for peacekeeping or policing missions since unexpected events or rogue states can still happen and might require force as a solution.
