I did some leisure research a few days ago to conclude Jupiters core would make a great covert alien base.
It was inspired by the science meme of everything other than helium being a metal. Basically harnessing (star)fusion with hydrogen and helium can form every other known element. They are all the “stuff” you need to form everything else that exists.
Jupiters atmosphere is almost entirely hydrogen and helium its a perfect setup for a sufficiently advanced species to be used in star trek like replicators establishing a self sustainable habitat within Jupiters core.
The atmosphere also makes it incredible difficult for us to find or detect said habitat.
