Great Purge of Yon:556

The Great Purge of Yon:556 was the event in which the Slitheen family were forced off their homeworld of Raxacoricofallapatorius.
== History ==
=== Background ===
Over many centuries, the Family Slitheen established themselves as a criminal clan. (PROSE: ) Meanwhile, Raxacoricofallapatorius was the most admired planet in the Raxas Alliance, (TV: ) with their twin planet Clom, (TV: ) as well as Clix and Raxacoricovarlonpatorius all taking their lead from it. One of the planet's most respected families were the Blathereen (TV: ) who, along with the Rackateen, were cousins to the Slitheen. (PROSE: ) However, this changed as the Slitheen infiltrated all levels of government on Raxacoricofallapatorius, subtly controlling the planet's off-world distribution of the valuable spice, Offich. They became so deeply embedded in government that they threatened to tarnish their entire species with their crimes. (PROSE: ) Ultimately, the Slitheen bribed their way into power, ruining their planet's good name. (TV: )
=== The Purge ===
Eventually, the economy on Raxacoricofallapatorius crashed, leading to the rest of the Raxacoricofallapatorian population rising up against and deposing the Slitheen (TV: ) as they were exposed, shamed, and arrested en masse in the Great Purge of Yon:556, with many fleeing their homeworld (PROSE: ) to the farthest corners of the galaxy whilst some faced justice. (TV: ) The Slitheen found themselves forced out by the Judoon, whilst holding the Blathereen and Hostrozeen families in contempt. (TV: ) The entire clan, including every cousin, step-sister, half-mother and fiancée, thought to number more than 550 (PROSE: ) were tried and found guilty, in perpetuity. The surviving Slitheen were given the death sentence in their absence, with no chance of appeal according to the statutes of government. (PROSE: , TV: )
=== Aftermath and legacy ===
The Great Purge of Yon:556 was acknowledged in Jane's Book of Planets. (PROSE: )
Many years after their trial, (TV: ) the Slitheen made an attempt to exploit an ongoing interstellar recession by destroying the planet Earth and selling its remains, which was thwarted by the Ninth Doctor. (TV: /) Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen, the sole survivor of her immediate family, remained on Earth disguised as "Margaret Blaine" before being found six months later by the Doctor. Though his intention was to take her back to Raxacoricofallapatorius, where she would have been executed, Blon's attempt to exploit the TARDIS to escape Earth using an tribophysical waveform macro-kinetic extrapolator caused the heart of the TARDIS to open and regress her back into an egg, allowing her to start a new life in a Raxacoricofallapatorian hatchery. (TV: )
The Slitheen found themselves on hard times, being closed in on from all sides, including the Judoon and the other families of Raxacoricofallapatorious. Seeking a "new beginning" with wealth and security, a group led by Glune Fex Fize Sharlaveer-Slam Slitheen came to Earth, motivated by the loss of their family there, and established Coldfire Construction as a front to use transducers to drain the energy of the Sun which would then be sold. Glune intended to use the money to buy a fleet of battle cruisers and return to the homeworld, where the Slitheen were to "smite" the Grand Council, "crush" the Senate, leaving the Blathereen and the Hostrozeen to beg for mercy.
However, this plot was foiled by Sarah Jane Smith, a former companion of the Doctor (TV: ) who would go on to thwart the Slitheen on numerous occassions from her home in the Ealing area over the following years, (TV: , , ) including a pair of Slitheen-Blathereen whom initially appeared as Blathereen intercepting a pair of Slitheen. Claiming the Slitheen to be the only criminal family of Raxacoricofallapatorius, the "Blathereen" claimed to have dedicated themselves to tracking down and bringing the Slitheen to justice by ensuring they stood trial on their home planet, where Sarah Jane's work was spoken of "with great regard". (TV: )
Eventually, the death sentence was lifted, and captured Slitheen were incarcerated, as was done when the Hazrateen apprehended Slitheen operating on MXQ1. (AUDIO: )
