#Station23 - Jan 2 - The Arboretum
The "top" level of the main hull is a single enormous room under a transparent dome. It is filled with plants--grasses, shrubs, and trees from dozens of planets near and far, including some that are otherwise unknown to Federation science. The plants are also habitat for a variety of small animals, mostly things a human would identify as a "bird" or "insect".
The entire system is carefully kept in equilibrium through the tireless efforts of the groundskeeper, a strange little being of unknown species who gives their name as "Volle". Volle looks like a one-meter plague doctor, but it is unknown how much of their appearance is costume versus anatomy. Volle doesn't generally interact with visitors, unless they are damaging a plant, harassing an animal, or about to get too close to something that won't interact well with their biology. (How Volle knows, even when the medical division doesn't, in unknown. But Volle has not been observed to be wrong so far.)

The terrain of the Arboretum is gentle rolling hills, with paths and benches of what appears to be natural stone (again from dozens of worlds--some with exotic fossils included). The only obvious construction to be found, aside form the center where the station's central column passes through toward Ops, is the Steer and Span (see Jan 3).
