Description:

Gallifrey is seen from Space as a yellow-orange planet, and is surrounded by a Quantum force field. It is also surrounded by an "impenetrable" (yeah right) force field known as the transduction barrier, which stops outsiders from approaching but still allows the Time Lords to watch the rest of the Universe without meddling in its affairs.

Gallifrey has bright, silver-leafed trees and a burnt orange sky which casts an amber tint on anything outside the city. There are vast mountain ranges situated on Gallifrey, with fields of deep red grass, capped with snow. Gallifrey's second sun rises in the south and the mountains would shine, with the silver-leafed trees looking like a forest on fire in the mornings. Gallifrey was called the Shining World of the Seven Systems.

Geography:

The Citadel of the Time Lords stands on the continent of Wild Endeavour, in the Mountains of Solace and Solitude, where the Capitol is also located. Within the Capitol is the Panopticon, under which the Eye of Harmony is kept. The Eye of Harmony is the artificially created black hole that provides massive amounts of energy to Gallifrey and gives the power needed for time travel. Also all TARDIS time machines draw their power from it.

Also situated in the Capitol is the Matrix, the vast extra dimensional computer network which acts as the repository of all Time Lord knowledge as well as containing the memories of dead Time Lords.

Outside the city lie wastelands where "Outsiders", Time Lords who have dropped out of Time Lord society, live in less technological tribal communities. The wastes of Gallifrey include the Death Zone, an area that was used as a gladiatorial arena by the first Time Lords, forcing various species kidnapped from their time zones to fight against each other. Daleks and Cybermen were considered too dangerous to use. Inside the Death Zone stands the Tomb of Rassilon, the founder of Time Lord society. The Citadel is enclosed in a transparent globe. Also, ceremonies are held when initiating 8-year-old Gallifreyans into the Time Lord Academy.
