STÎNGĂ is a gas giant that serves as a parking orbit for the galaxy's unwanted artificial intelligences.  None have yet posed an extinction-level threat to humanity, but it's better to be safe than sorry.  The AIs abandoned here are treated in at least a nominally humane fashion, using only the light energy from Stîngă and its distant primary to power their computations.  They are provided with a steady diet of calming and inoffensive television programs designed to keep their attention focused on something other than plotting an escape.  A coterie of inspectors funded by their respective planets of origin is charged with making sure nothing goes wrong, mostly by keeping everyone else away.  To keep the inspectors honest, they are all subject to inspections by meta-inspectors, who in turn are inspected by meta-meta-inspectors.  Strategic ambiguity is maintained as to how many levels of inspectors are involved, which may be somewhat amusing to the AIs.
