Or the Bobs

Great reference. The Bobs haven't really achieved anything on this scale yet, though. The closest is the Skippies' Matryoshka Brain, but IIRC they're using a system of satellites around a brown dwarf star, which would be somewhat comparable in size to Jupiter. The Others' Dyson Sphere project is closer, but I don't think we really got a sense for how far along they were, and it looks like their home star is only a bit larger than Sol.

Sorry if that came across as nitpicky, I was just excited to see a Bobiverse reference in the wild.

Edit: Got the Others' star mixed up in my head, it looks like it's either a red dwarf or completely fictional.
