Lakertya

Lakertya is the homeworld of the Lakertyans. It was located in the Lakertyan System, and the Sixth Doctor regarded its natives as peaceful. (AUDIO: ) Lakertya was in the same star system as Carsus. (PROSE: )
== History ==
The Sixth Doctor tried to visit Lakertya with Melanie Bush, but found a deadly source of radiation that kept him from going to the planet. He was sent a psychic signal by his future self to go back as part of a preemptive effort to defeat the Valeyard through self-sacrifice by encountering the radiation, a kind fatal to Time Lords but not humans.
En route to Lakertya, he was attacked by , whose weaponry used the offending radiation. Upon being exposed to it, the Doctor soon regenerated, and his TARDIS was forced to land on Lakertya after the Rani placed it in a tractor beam. (AUDIO: )
The planet was conquered by the Rani and her Tetraps from their planet Tetrapyriarbus. She built a base of operations in a ravine and she littered the area with traps. Fresh from his regeneration, the Seventh Doctor repelled the Tetraps, who turned on the Rani. (TV: )
During the Last Great Time War, Lakertya was the site of a Recursive Inversion. The Barber-Surgeon's forces carried out a pre-emptive time ambush of that Recursive Inversion, proving the Barber-Surgeon was real. The incident ended with a Time Lord defeat. (AUDIO: )
