History
The novel establishes the planet’s relative smallness and substantial orbital yards, but gives no name, diameter or yard output figures.
The later Ardent setting
Bastion protects the industrial worlds; the precise relationship between individual yards and military procurement remains unquantified.
The illustrated setting
The location has no supplied proper name in the novel. Its illustrated landscape and architecture establish the visual setting; they do not assign a population, measured dimensions or a new political history.
