• The "front" part of the leading sphere has the bay entry opening into the station's axis. It is flanked by two observation domes (the two "bridges")
• The Docking bay is a ringlike section around the equator of the leading sphere. Ships enter through the axis of the sphere and are "lowered" down into an empty slot in the bay.
• The Cobra bays are on the three struts supporting the leading sphere.
• The Med lab is a sphere shaped area snug against Blue Section.
• The other sections are shaped like rings.
• Blue section: Political officialdom.
• Red section: Business. (I hazard a guess that the Zocalo is located here, but am uncertain)
• Green section: Ambassadorial accommodations.
• Grey section: Exotic alien environments.
• Brown section: Slums and brothels.
• The Garden is the hollow cylindrical area with hydroponic gardens. One often sees this in the open-air luxury restaurants.
• The Core Shuttle runs down the station's axis.
