Gaea is a wheel space-station like living and centient hollow world orbiting Saturn.
It have a main 
"brain" in the central hub and 6 secondary "brains" around the rim. All have ther own
parsonalities. 
Tha main Gaea is obsessed with old movies. The interior environment is subtropical
earth like thank 
to the mirror pannels and large transparent areas on the inside ot the rim.
