This system is under the protection of a Caretaker God, which has established an exclusion swarm around the planet. However a significant number of Menexenes have been permitted to leave, and this has allowed the establishment of Menexene populations within several worlds throughout the Terragen Sphere. The Caretaker God has never formally adopted a name, but is often nicknamed Plato by the inhabitants of nearby systems.
A population of Metasoft vecs and xenobiologists live in the systems surrounding Socrates 471 A and Socrates 471 B, together with a small population of Menexenes in pressurised magmatter habitats.
