Translating roughly as "Place of the Fallen," this large complex in the Llangon foothills is a research center set up by the government and [[ma:Sarek|Sarek's]] family to study the ways of treating [[ma:Bendii_Syndrome|Bendii Syndrome]], and of giving those elderly Vulcans suffering from it a chance to live, and eventually die, with dignity. The facility came into existence mainly because Sarek's third wife [[ma:Perrin|Perrin]], after seeing Sarek lose his very selfhood with no assistance or even acknowledgement from his government, was determined that it would not happen to other Vulcans afflicted with the disease. | Translating roughly as "Place of the Fallen," this large complex in the Llangon foothills is a research center set up by the government and [[ma:Sarek|Sarek's]] family to study the ways of treating [[ma:Bendii_Syndrome|Bendii Syndrome]], and of giving those elderly Vulcans suffering from it a chance to live, and eventually die, with dignity.

At first the government simply tried to ignore her, but that only made her more determined. When it became clear that a public debate was beginning to form about what many considered a private matter, the government relented, and agreed to help fund the research center. The center is not only trying to find a cure for Bendii Syndrome, but provides aides for those who have the disease, so that they can maintain mind control for as long as possible. A number of these aides are human volunteers, since Vulcans still largely prefer to avoid contact with Bendii sufferers. | At first the government simply tried to ignore her, but that only made her more determined.
