GONDILLY is the industrial powerhouse of the Filé sector.  Its people live in vault-like underground cities that are isolated from one another by wilderness teeming with poisonous flora and venomous fauna.  The cities operate independently, competing with one another only in economic terms.  Gondilly does not appear to have an organized military, but as the the closest inhabited planet to Þórunn, they must have reached some sort of arrangement to protect their commerce from attacks.  Broadcast advertising on dedicated data channels is pervasive, but does not usually reference the actual goods being sold.  Instead, its messaging is of a more mysterious nature.  Examples include "Gondillians are the hardest-working people in the galaxy!  Would you like to know why?" and "You don't even know you need this yet!  Are you curious?"
