It'd be a crusader idea to claim Eris, completely enclose it--"It'd be a darn sight easier to work with if ya ain't got to worry 'bout yer atmosphere running away from ya."--, and then use a giant... something or another to heat the interior and let them build Neo Equestria inside. Suffice to say, totally an insane idea that'll be a boondoggle to impliment, but stubbron pride keeps them going. Eventually. It'd be their long-term end goal so they don't step on other people's toes/hooves in the long run when the population starts expanding majorly over the next half-century.I think you underestimate how huge even "smaller" asteroids are... Eris even more. I would be that you don't manage to "fill up" even a kilometer sized asteroid station within a century.
It's meant to be a boondongle. It's insane and overblown, and a crusader plan. And a while in the future. Right now I still need to lay groundwork.
