In Galactic Civilizations IV why is Ruined Ringworld orbiting a planet, not a star?

[BohandiAnsoid]

In Galactic Civilizations IV mission line about the megastructures, civilization discovers ruins of a ringworld that are still partially functioning and habitable. However, ringworlds generally orbit stars (as do all functioning ringworlds in the game) and this ringworld orbits a planet. It orbits a star, looks like a planet and is identified as a planet. How would you explain it? It is especially important since I plan on paying homage to this in my story and I need to understand this.

Might want to touch base with the creators of the game? Anything here would just be conjecture.

 

[BohandiAnsoid]

I plan to. But I want to do some conjecture here too. Especially since my contact with htis game's creators is rather random.

Intellectual property? Didn't want it to just be a flat copy.

But most of the ringworlds there are around stars...

But most of the ringworlds there are around stars...

Then it is probably best to ask the people involved...

Ringworlds are a fictional concept, so they can orbit whatever the writer decides they want to orbit.
