The layout of Gallifrey

Summary: Phoebe still rest and The Doctor visit her while Adric Nyssa and Tegan find out how hard it is to live on Gallifrey with Thalia explains the layout of the Citadel for them.

Layout of Gallifrey

Sector 1 main tower houses the Panopticon, a vast hexagonal chamber in which great events of state are held. Elsewhere in the tower has the Capitol Museum, where the symbols of presidential office are on display, along with examples of every kind of robe of state, from the President and the Gold Usher to the Chapter Cardinals.

Sector 2 the political heart of the Capitol, houses an enormous assembly room for meetings of the full High Council, a conference room for the Inner Council and other small gatherings, and the President's office.

Sector 3 is entirely dedicated to the Chancellor and the Chancellery Guard.

Sector 4 containers the Castellan's office, the courtrooms, and the Security Compound, which itself comprised detention rooms, interrogation cells, and several execution rooms, most of which were officially disused.

Sector 5 comprised hundreds of libraries, records rooms and archive stores. Plenty for Adric Nyssa and Tegan to delve into.

Sector 6 which houses the various Chapters of the Time Lord Academy and the main force-field control area for the transduction barrier that shielded Gallifrey, was the largest structure in the Capitol after the Panopticon.

Sector 7 dominates by the Communications Tower, from which Space Traffic Control and Temporal Control monitored and logged every passing vessel in Gallifrey's vicinity. It was also rumoured to be the site of Gallifrey High Command's War Room, together with an extraction chamber — although the existence of such chambers was officially denied.

Finally Sector 8 is home to the Time Travel Capsule landing bays and an array of repair shops. Below the repair shops was an area known as the TARDIS Graveyards, where TARDISes that reached the end of their lifespans were despatched. Somewhere in the citadel, a set of chambers were allocated to the Celestial Intervention Agency, but no one outside the Agency knew exactly where those chambers were. Deep beneath the Panopticon were the Panopticon Vaults, where the Eye of Harmony was kept.

Deeper still are the Cloisters, the physical location of the Matrix, guarded by the Cloister Wraiths. Finally, buried near the very core of Gallifrey are the Time Vaults, where all the forbidden weapons of the Omega Arsenal are safely locked away.
