Precursor civilizations, ultratech, and Big Dumb Object stories

I'm a sucker for a good BDO. Ringworld is one of my all-time favorite novels. Ancient civilizations and sufficiently advanced technology also tickle my fancy. Is there any material on these topics for the 3I setting, or am I (gloriously) on my own to come up with this sort of thing?
 
There is a cluster of habitats in the Northstar system http://wiki.travellerrpg.com/Northstar_(world)/meta

I think that according to new canon there are no actual BDO type Ringworlds now.

If you search 'Ringworld'on these forums there is talk about Dyson clusters and Marshall Savage's vision of things to come. Those could be interesting.

highguard also allows the creation of planetoid bases and the asteorid mining rules gives volumes of possible planetoids you could hollow out and gravity plate.

The biggest challenge froma gaming perspective is the sheer number of people a Ringworld could bring to the table. 6 million earths for Niven's version if I recall correctly. That's a lot of Navy personnel. :)
 
I'm more than a little surprised that a place like Northstar only has a class D starport. I'm also surprised that there's apparently only one starport. Is there an official explanation for why a supposedly "high technology" system has such limited facilities?
