I like your depiction of the Sleeper Service GSV. I do however find it hard to fully picture a GSV in general, especially when it has all its fields fully deployed.

Haha, can you wrap your mind around something called Birch World? A populated Dyson sphere built around a supermassive black hole... supports quadrillions upon quadrillions of souls! You know for when you run out of space on your Ringworlds!

Yeah, but apparently supermassive black holes are pretty stable so it should be fine, it is the little ones that can wreck ones day. 
But yeah, I would not mess with a civilization that has the ability to build stable mega structures around any black hole, never mind a super massive one. It is pretty much a statement of "we have unlimited resources, don't fuck with us"

Haha I am not familiar with Doctor Who. A hole stuffed into a 12ft tall monolith will be hellishly dangerous though. I would not want to be on the same planet as that thing, lol
