The Culture remains vigilant against potential threats, storing some of its warships in secluded areas rather than in busy, populated regions filled with activity and visitors. This strategy reflects a cautious approach, ensuring that these vessels are kept in quiet, remote locations far removed from the hustle and bustle of regular space traffic.

By choosing hidden, less-traveled spots in the vast emptiness of space, the Culture seeks to guard its most valuable assets against dangers that it cannot fully predict. This deliberate concealment highlights a level of foresight and precaution, as these warships are secured where few might even realize they exist.
