- living areas are divided into sections of different atmospheres and conditions interior: color coded sectors: - BLUE SECTOR - station administration, EA personnel quarters, medlabs - RED SECTOR - business and diplomatic chambers, the "Zocalo" (bars, hundreds of shops, restaurants and clubs) - GREEN SECTOR - high security quarters for alien diplomats - GREY and BROWN SECTORS - unfinished sectors, due to budgetary constraints Some unused sections of the station are called the 'Downbelow'. They are inhabited by homeless persons (lurkers), who didn't find work on the station. They mostly ended up in criminal activity. The absolute center of the station is known as "The Garden". It's a sort of hollow-world look, with fields and hydroponic gardens along the 360-degree circular section. Its main purpose is to provide food and oxygen reclamation for the station. But it also consists of a hedge maze, Zen garden, sports fields, a rotunda and a pavillion. Parts of the station are in daylight, others in night, alterning by level and sector. Some places are beautifully finished and neat, others are full of hightech, and other parts are still under construction. The station is not a homogenous place. |
