Station Eleven is a remarkable artificial structure resembling a planet, comparable in size to Earth's moon. This unique station is capable of traversing galaxies without needing sunlight, making it an extraordinary creation in the realm of speculative fiction. Despite its advanced design, the aftermath of war has severely impacted its infrastructure, particularly the artificial sky, which now perpetually casts a twilight glow over the landscape. The result is an environment that is always in a state of sunset or night, contributing to a haunting atmosphere.

Additionally, the war has led to significant damage in systems regulating the ocean levels around Station Eleven. Consequently, the land is reduced to a series of islands that were once the peaks of high mountains. This stark transformation reflects the themes of loss and change in the narrative, emphasizing how conflict can reshape environments and lives. The setting serves not only as a backdrop but also as a critical component of the story's exploration of survival and human connection in a post-apocalyptic world.
