Synopsis

The Doctor is pursuing a master criminal. The trail leads to Peladon: a desolate world once home to a barbaric, feudal society. Now the Galactic Federation is attempting to bring prosperity and civilisation to the planet. But not all Peladonians support the changes, and when ancient relics are stolen from their Citadel, the representatives of the Federation are blamed. The Doctor suspects the Ice Warrior delegation, but before long the Time Lord himself is arrested for the crime — and sentenced to death.

Shadowed - Eighth Doctor, 3985.

The Time Lords mention the recent development of time rings.

Queen Thalira died in a shuttle crash a few years after the events of The Monster of Peladon.

The Horus ruins were discovered a few years ago.

Guardians of the Solar System were first featured in The Daleks' Master Plan.

It is implied that the Diadem is similar to the mind parasite in The Mind of Evil.

Aliens in the Federation include Ogri, Lurmans, and Cantryans.

There are Deva Lokan wind chimes on board the Bruk.

The Doctor previously met Alpha Centauri on Peladon during the reign of Peladon of Peladon, and continued to encounter it every time he visited since.

When hearing the events of The Ice Warriors, Bernice asks the Doctor if he told the Warriors about New Mars, implying he could've sent them there.
