The Urbankans made use of both [[interferometer]]s and [[gravitation crystal detector]]s in their research of [[faster-than-light travel]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Four to Doomsday (novelisation)|Four to Doomsday]]'') They also had a single spaceship which was used to transport the survivors of [[Urbanka]] off the [[planet]].

Back on [[Urbanka]], the [[planet]] was continuously mined for more raw materials for the androids. Eventually, by the [[8th century|700s]], the planet was uninhabitable, meaning all three billion Urbankans had to move. They decided to go back to Earth and strip mine it as well. Despite this, Monarch was stopped and the human androids decided to go their own way.
