** Note: Approximately 1,500km of the width along the edges is taken up by engineering structures. | |||

The Village itself appears to be medieval - Earth in the middle ages - with more understanding of metalwork than typical of society at their stage. | A race of artificial beings calling themselves 'Protectorates' was discovered near the site of a starship crash on the surface.
