Hi,
Even the hexagonal structure itself appears to be just that - a
structure. Note
the many rectangular substructures. This could be a force field
protected city
on a hard surface - or suspended by an anti-gravity field - or even
just
floating in the atmosphere like a large dirigible. Note also that
due to its
large size and low density, the average surface gravity is actually
slightly
less than that on Earth.
If you are an advanced race, with essentially unlimited energy at
your disposal,
then such an undertaking is not out of the question.
For sure.

"The straight sides of the northern polar hexagon are each about 13
800 km long."
"The outer atmosphere of Saturn consists of about 93.2% molecular
hydrogen and 6.7% helium."
This would make the outer disk about 1900 km in diameter, and the
central dome about 800 km in diameter.
Saturn would make a great refueling station for ships using hydrogen
or helium because the atmosphere is mostly hydrogen and helium.
Interesting dimensions. Dare I say this here? 8^) If Heaven is
12,000 stades cubed, and a stade (stadium) is 185 m, then that's
about (2220 km)^3. If heaven needed refueling that might just be an
adequate filling station. Given that heaven is cube shaped it might
need a different docking facility.
