Time Sceptre
All TARDIS have a core known as a Time Sceptre. It contains the control rooms, the power and drive systems, life support, and basic crew facilities. Each segment is an independent micro universe whose size dependent upon the requirements of the systems it contains.
The tower of the Time Sceptre is enclosed in a spherical chamber that is several miles in diameter. The surface of this chamber appears to be made of grey and black clouds. Any rip in this chamber's structure would reveal the Vortex outside. This sphere is covered with numerous pods connected by rods. These are the extra rooms and corridors. New customized modules (rooms) are added when needed. Depending on the configuration there can also be multiple Corinthian columns within the chamber.

- Control Sphere
- Core Service Module (CSM)

- Dynamorphic Generators
- Life Support
