Point is, you could either be trying to recolonise the planet below or working/ living onboard the station/ city.
Whatever we decide on, as much people as physically possible need a way to be happy.

Place Ehks and Odin in charge of events involving these guys...Or Marx controls them...

(no significant population, certainly not one of over 10 billion, can be crammed on a single planet without urban centers to allow large numbers of people in a relatively small area. To avoid having ANY cities we'd need a new setting.)

// Actually, there is a way. Hopefully I'm not overcomplicating things.

What if that few billion people of population is in fact living in orbiting space stations, or possibly even a ring station.

The planet below suffered some sort of cataclysmic event that anhilated surface life.

However, a few friends in other universes granted the inhabitants a terraforming technology that allowed them to completely re-create their planet's natural surface life.

You then have a scenario where the people of the system would be effectively re-colonizing their home planet, despite having not really ventured out of their own solar system yet made regular visits to other universes using a magic-technology mixture to create stable portals of predictable properties.

The surface of the planet would be dotted with small villages that are blossoming around shuttle landing sites as infrastructure is established once more and people gradually transition from living on the station to living on the surface again. Why would they be in any hurry when they can get everything they need from the station and from other worlds.

This would then give us a nearly ideal best of both worlds where people can have their urban scenarios in a large and well built space station with artificial gravity and the like to live comfortably and normally, while retaining a small town on the frontier for our characters to explore and interact in.

And if we want to make expeditions into other universes, all we have to do is return to the station to use the facilities there for the purpose.
