I would like to destroy a Dyson Sphere so it leaves big junkschunks of scrap metal with no habitable zones left. But, but still with enough structure to hold Building sizedbuilding-sized blocks.

The destruction shouldn't be man made.

To The Sphere: From Description (ordered from the sun to the outer layers):

  1. Habitable Zone: cities, agricultural farms, places
  2. Support Zone: Electrics,electricity and water supply, first structure level
  3. Main structure  : the other structure levels where everything is buildbuilt on.
  4. Spaceports and Cargo System: Anan infrastructure on the outside where Spaceshipsspaceships can be dock and a network of "Trains" transport Cargocargo
  5. Shield pylonsPylons: Forfor shielding the whole Thing against little meteoroids and ships.

I've described the hull of the sphere about 200 - 500 meters thick.

What could mademake such an impact on the Sphere? How would the Destruction went ondestruction progress after the Initialinitial "blow" hit the sphereSphere?

ETA: This question has been refocused slightly, as such some of the answers below are a little out of date.

How would a meteoroid shower impact effect a Dyson Sphere react to a comis destroction?

So i am Gamemaster of an RPG, the location where the party is, for the last few months the party have been on a Dyson Sphere.

Now I would like to motivate them to move onto another place. So I need to destroy it on the best possible way: I thought some nice meteoroids!

So my Question is: How many meteoroids do I need to shoot? and how big do they need to be, to effectively destroy **all the habitable areas ** of a Dyson Sphere? How would the Scrap of the Sphere react if the structure is out of balance? Would the whole stuff just wobble around like waves on a pond? How could I explain something like that so it sounds possible?

"Aleaves big meteoroid just appeared on the screen" - seems to bejunks of scrap metall with no habitable zones left. But still with enough struckture to easy for a civilization that made an structure that is bigger than a Sunhold Building sized blocks.

I would like to let them screen the scrap pieces in a later adventure but not if that sounds to artificialThe Destruction shouldn´t be man made.

I've described the hull of the sphere about 200 - 500 meters thick (according on what point of the sphere the players were at the time).
