One of the landmarks of Vdam is the government complex, which includes the Prime Minister's official residence and offices. The complex consists of several tall buildings with small footprint. The architecture of the complex is plain with little decoration on its facade. The buildings of the complex and its gate are made of concrete or similar material. The complex is highly defencible, and is protected by shield generators. The Prime Minister's office has an ornate desk that has been used by Prime Ministers for 160 years.<ref name="To the Surface" /><ref name="Consequences and plans" /><ref name="Textbook truth bomb">[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-resolution/c/bVU47Pht1VY/ Textbook truth bomb], Ens Yogan Yalu, {{USS|Resolution}}, 239710.31</ref> | One of the landmarks of Vdam is the government complex, which includes the Prime Minister's official residence and offices.

The Da'al Ministry of Science is located in Da'al. The Ministry building also operates as a research centre, having at least exobiology, advanced materials and planetary sciences laboratories.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/ZAKyaFN4pxc/ Sneaking and Peeking], Lt Talos Dakora and LtJG Antonova, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240005.07</ref> | |||

The city was struck by a meteor in 2400, with inital estimations indicating that approximately 10,000 Da’al had died and the infrastructure of the city was estimated to been largely destroyed or damaged. Among the surviving buildings were the Government Complex and Palace of Culture. The Palace of Culture survived mostly intact after the meteor impact, although it had cracks on its walls, and it was converted to emergency aid centre after the meteor strike.<ref name="Impact" /><ref name="Just another geological curiosity?" /> | The city was struck by a meteor in 2400, with inital estimations indicating that approximately 10,000 Da’al had died and the infrastructure of the city was estimated to been largely destroyed or damaged.

La'kso Canyon was a hiding place for the group that had redirected the meteor to Tecra. While camping in the Canyon in 240005, a group of Starfleet officers of the {{USS|Artemis|A}} happened to come across with members of that group patrolling the area. After subduing the patrollers, the ensigns and their senior officers discovered the hidden hangar and the vessel that had been used to redirect the meteor.<ref name="Suspicious visitors" /><ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/Ji3EJiAL00g A Hell of A Ride], Lt Dakora, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240005.22</ref> | |||
