The following are the known causes of the Doctor's companions' exits.

## Sixteenth Doctor

 Tari Ackerman | **Forced to leave** | Taken away from Gallifrey by the Time Lords after the Doctor was assassinated by Kesavix.

## Seventeenth Doctor

 Xavier | **Returned home** | Returned home to ensure his safety - as he was worried something terrible might happen again.

Sanctum Voluptas

**Sanctum Voluptas** was an acclaimed leisure resort situated on Xanrass 9, which had luxury as its top priority.

## History

In 2374, Xanrass 9, as well as the other Xanrassian bodies, were attacked by the Datysians - becoming particularly negatively affected by this attack. (TV: *The Holo-Matrix*)

Xanrass 9 eventually reopened a thousand years later, becoming a leisure moon, with its main resort becoming known as Sanctum Voluptas. It was powered via the energy produced on Xanrass 5 by volcanic activity. However, in 6024, a swarm of Vashta Nerada became present at the resort and made their presence known by cutting all power to the resort. They intended to devour the resort goers who were currently panicking due to the dark - made worse by the Vashta Nerada swarming around the resort windows, blocking light from the outside planets and stars.

In the resort at the time was the Fifteenth Doctor, along with her companion Pax I. Despite her best efforts, the Vashta Nerada remained unbeatable due to their microscopic nature making them difficult to fight - therefore, she was merely limited in assisting in the evacuation. This led to Sanctum Voluptas becoming abandoned as a result. (TV: *Resort of Terror*)
Nightmare on Pluto (comic story)

***Nightmare on Pluto*** was the three-part second story of *Doctor Who: The Seventeenth Doctor* comic story series, published by Titan Comics.

## Summary

Pluto is in a state of civil war.

News about a hidden bunker built by the original settlers which just so happens to contain elusive secrets have spread across Plutonian settlements. Without really meaning to, society has split into three factions - all on their own individual search for this bunker to obtain these secrets for themselves; conducting raids on enemy bases to steal whatever knowledge they may possess and wiping out anyone not on their side.

The Doctor isn't really sure what's caused this hysteria. For one, no one seems to actually know what these secrets *are*, only that they exist and even then, the legitimacy of that statement is up for debate. Will all this chaos and destruction be even worth it in the end? He doubts it, but regardless, the truth must be ascertained!

Venturing into the fray, the Doctor, Taylor, Luna and Sadie embark on a dangerous journey across war torn Plutonian cities to uncover just what exactly is going on here and hopefully, bring an end to the violence.

## Characters

* Seventeenth Doctor
* Taylor Bennett
* Luna Feng

Tev

**Tev** was a Mentor from the 57th century. He fled his home world of Thoros-Beta alongside his superior Veg in the hopes of finding a new sector of the universe to milk dry of their every fund after his species had been hit drastically by rising inflation costs across the nearby galaxies.

## Biography

Shortly after their escape from Thoros-Beta, they weren't short of finding a gold mine rather quickly; the Roosevelt Galaxy. According to Tev, the Roosevelt Galaxy was 'packed full of filthy rich, fraudulent imbeciles too far up their own backside'. Despite this remark, he still remained adamant on staying there. After integrating himself in to the formalities and societies which plagued this area of space, he and Veg had later began on the creation of a new scheme which would rake in credits by the millions. This creation involved the construction of 8 consecutive space stations orbiting each one of the Roosevelt Galaxy's worlds respectively; the most successful one being Corporation Station 7, orbiting the planet Kelis Alpha. This was where the two Mentors would later claim permanent residence at their Headquarters.

Each station held vaguely different businesses to one another. Corporation Station 3 was set to be home to an illegally created form of terraforming. Corporation Station 5 was set to withhold a market in selling highly toxic yet valuable minerals mined from its respective world. Corporation Station 7 housed what was essentially an embryo farm, in which the filthy rich were able to adopt a child and customise it in whatever fashion they'd wished; Tev's greatest idea yet, according to him.

After word had got about around this vile act of capitalism, this had subsequently prompted an investigation from the Galactic Census Bureau. They sent out their newly-assigned probationary officer Tari Ackerman along with her supervisor Karis Denison, as a way to prove her validity in working for the Bureau. Tev expressed forceful disdain over this.

Shortly after Tari and Karis's arrival, the Sixteenth Doctor arrived as well. Unbeknownst to her however, thanks to Tev, her TARDIS had been stolen and shipped elsewhere to be placed on sale. According to him, selling a TARDIS could set them up for the rest of their lives. This idea was short-lived however after all of his buyers claimed that it was nothing more than a piece of junk that belonged in a scrapyard.

Tev's schemes were later prevented after both the Doctor and Tari had teamed up with one another to stop whatever sickening profit-making was at work; Tari claiming that if he didn't stop whatever was happening, she'd smother him in his own bowl of marshminnows. The project was called off after the embryo farm kept within the station had been deactivated by the Doctor, and Tev and Veg were forced to flee. (TV: *Happy Families*)

This episode marked the final appearances of Amandla Stenberg as Alexis Frye and Maya Hawke as Tamara Kendall as regular cast members.

## Synopsis

Alexis has been taken by the Hexed and the Genesis of Hex with her. Meanwhile, left with no other choice, the Doctor has opened the pocket watch that she was scared to years ago, but now with all her past lives streaming through her head, she must come to terms with who she once was, at odds with the person that she is now, if there is any hope of her coming out on top. Luckily, she has Pythia to help guide her through, the bond they share serving as an anchor to keep it from pulling the Doctor apart, but the question remains whether or not it will be enough.

Meanwhile, unable to sit and wait for the Doctor to find herself whilst her fiancée is captured, Tamara and Orla formulate a plan to mount a rescue attempt of their own, but their machinations have problems of its own; it requires a trek through land that belongs to the Natives who are cautious about outsiders due to the ongoing persecution of their people, but that which seems like an obstacle may end up becoming the key to their victory.

As the Doctor settles the internal conflict within herself, she realises that she has another choice to make - go after Orla and Tamara in the hope that she might be able to help save Alexis or trust that her friends can handle things with the Hexed and instead return to the Temple of Atropos in order to confront Time, in the hopes of finding the answers she so desperately seeks and prevent it from breaking free of the grip of the Mouri...

Raven (Meeting at Zaggit Zagoo)

## Raven

**Raven** was a Princess of the Sirius Royal Family - turned criminal and smuggler.

## History

Originally a part of the Sirius Royal Family, Raven became disgraced from her relatives and was banished from the planet. Now forced into a wanderer's lifestyle alongside her Acolytes, she eventually heard rumours of Macra and how they once controlled a human colony and decided to locate them in order to force them into helping her gain back power on her home planet.

Finding a number of Macra on a random planet, Raven and her Acolytes kidnapped some young Macra in the hopes of being able to raise them in a way that would make them loyal to her. However, the adult Macra soon became aware that their children were gone - and with the help of the Seventeenth Doctor and Jayanna IX - intercepted Raven's ship and demanded back their young. Raven refused and attempted to come up with a deal, but her Acolytes were gone and her attempts at threatening violence were ignored - and so she fled.

Later, she met the Fifth Raja and the Sensorite City Administrator at Zaggit Zagoo, where she iterated her story to them. However, when the fourth person revealed himself to be the Seventeenth Doctor, he confronted the City Administrator, during which, the Judoon entered, apprehending Raven. (TV: *Meeting at Zaggit Zagoo*)

S'karl and co were then joined by the Seventeenth Doctor, Jayanna IX and Mosdra in their expedition through the crashed ship, and eventually, S'karl was killed by one of the apparitions created by the artefact in order to keep people away after they kept pressing on. (TV: *Whatever Happened to the Crew of the SS Dahlia?*)

A mysterious warning has been sent to her that it won't be Santa who will descend down the chimney tonight, but instead, the dark shadow that follows him; the being known as Krampus.

When she hears the sound of footsteps on the roof, she hides under the covers of her bed, holding her breath, hoping that it will go away - and when she hears a tapping on her window, she closes her eyes, hoping that whatever it is will think she's asleep and leave her alone.

Racnoss

The **Racnoss** were an ancient race from the Dark Times of the universe who had grown to become one of the most powerful fledgling empires of their time. According to the Seventeenth Doctor, the Racnoss were closely related to the Skithra. (TV: *The Skithra Entitlement*)

## Biology

The Racnoss looked like large half-humanoid, half-arachnid beings, with blood-red skin and a crested skull. They had three pairs of eyes – one pair in the place where humans have theirs, and the remaining ones on the forehead. They had ten razor-tipped limbs, two of which were arms that strongly resembled blades. They had spinnerets at the base of their abdomen, allowing them to produce miles of webbing. (TV: *In Flux*)

## History

One particular Racnoss Empress, Kalti'noq Mal-Galdha, had secluded herself and her family within an uninhabited world called Pakla X, previously owned by the Time Lords, before they had lost their power over it. Shortly before the world was razed to the ground by Gallifreyan forces, the Sixteenth Doctor rescued the Empress's children and brought them to safety. (TV: *In Flux*, *Web of Deceit*)

With the crew in stasis following their inevitable approach to their otherwise icy demise as they drift ever closer, it seems as if salvation is finally upon them as they are pulled from their ordeal - or so they thought!

Quanzhai

The **Quanzhai** were a peaceful species whose home planet was located somewhere near Vilite - and were known for their zealous devotion to peace and anti-war movements.

## History

Quan was invaded by an extremely dangerous species which they did not know the name to, who managed to breach the Quanzhai's detailed planetary defences. With no weapons to defend themselves with due to their anti-war philosophy, the Quanzhai were systematically killed, but eventually fought back by stealing the invaders' rockets and firing back - a decision that they did not take lightly, nevertheless, they ultimately acknowledged that it was necessary.

However, unbeknownst to the Quanzhai, one of the rockets misfired and crash landed onto a settlement on the nearby planet Vilite, which killed thousands. The Vilite authorities saw this as an act of aggression from the Quanzhai; and prepared to retaliate, but were convinced by Galactic Census agent Tari Ackerman - who had been on holiday on Vilite at the time - to hold off on the attack, until she ascertained what exactly had happened.

Travelling to meet with the Quanzhai, she helped them to fight back the last of the invaders and found that they had no idea of any strikes coming from Quan against Vilite. Together, they discovered the truth that one of the rockets had misfired. Presenting the evidence to Vilite, they agreed to stand down. (TV: *Rocket Warfare*)
Sarah Jane Smith

**Sarah Jane Smith** was a investigative journalist from Foxgrove who joined in UNIT in the 1970s or 80s and met the Doctor, travelling with him for a few years. The adventures stopped abruptly, before coming back into contact with him during the events of *School Reunion*.

Later, she decided to form her own team for investigating alien encounters and has been doing so ever since.

## Biography

A prestiged investigative journalist, Sarah Jane Smith was no stranger to the otherworldly. She met the Doctor years ago and since then, after he had departed; carried on the adventurous spirit, gathering her own team of young adults. By 2012, the adventures were continuing...

## Personality

During her time defending Earth with her young friends, Sarah was a motherly and excellent leader. She was very protective of her young allies and blamed herself when they got into trouble. This made her rather cold and secretive to strangers but her gang helped her open up to others. She adored her young friends, considering them her family. She was essentially to them what the Doctor was to her: an older, wiser mentor.

Sarah was extremely proud of Luke and loved him, calling him the most important thing in the universe. Sarah also loved K9 deeply, due to him being the nearest thing to a family she had for over twenty years, and was devastated at the prospects of losing him. She also treated Mr. Smith as an equal instead of a mere computer. In contrast to her periodic and proficient use of firearms in her twenties, Sarah grew fiercely opposed to violence and killing, and showed sympathy to her enemies such as Martin Truman, the Slitheen-Blathereen and even Androvax, as they simply did these things, not because they were bad, but because they were hurt or felt inferior. This went hand in hand with her strong mind. However, this pacifistic nature caused her enemies to frequently consider her naive.
Samhain (TV story)

***Samhain*** was the Halloween Special of Series 22 of *Doctor Who*.

## Synopsis

The Doctor and Orla arrive in 16th century Ireland just on the eve of the festival of Samhain, but what is usually a time of celebration and ritual has become that of fear. The locals hide inside of their houses and are wary of any newcomers - and sure enough, it doesn’t take long for the pair to find out why. Something has been attacking the townsfolk and turning them into Jack-O-Lanterns.

Neither of them realise just what awaits them as they attempt to figure out what is going on here, but the Doctor and Orla are about to come face to face with an evil so ancient that even the Doctor thought it was a myth. And yet, Stingy Jack is all too real - imprisoned on Earth when the planet was still young and forced to walk its surface with nothing but a lantern as a guide.

But now; he has a chance to escape, when the planets reach their alignment. The energy will unlock his chains and he will watch the world burn.

Making use of technology from his lab, they make a visit to London's now abandoned industrial centre. There, they find that the rumours are indeed true and that all of London is at risk if this threat is not found, contained and neutralised. But this creature is small, nimble, fast, athletic and impervious to bullets - making their job all the more difficult.

Rafael Linnark

**Rafael Linnark** was a 67th century starfighter pilot and companion of the Seventeenth Doctor.

## Personality

Rafael was a man with a high opinion of everyone else, except himself; semi-officially calling himself: "Sadie's one true hype man." As such, he was very quick to put himself down, even if there was nothing that he had actually done wrong and such, he was trying to learn not to be so hard on himself, but often found himself falling into the same trap. Despite that, he was pure high energy, feeling like piloting was his only outlet to vent this hyperactivity, which he also believed was the only thing he was good for.

## Appearance

Rafael resembled a man of average height in his thirties with dark skin, deep brown eyes and short, curly black hair which he liked to keep gelled.

Tamara Kendall

**Tamara Kendall** was a human companion of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Doctors from early 2000s United Kingdom.

## Personality

Tamara was often head-strong, not always thinking rationally before leaping into a decision - however, despite initially coming across as cold and conceited, underneath was a woman who, for a long time, had built a wall around herself in order to prevent her from getting close to anyone, lest they end up hurting her.

Tamara didn't have a good relationship with her parents who had always treated her poorly and belittled her, leaving her with low self-esteem. During her time with the Doctor, she proved herself more than capable, being a complete technology whiz which came in handy on multiple occasions.

Over time, Tamara began to realise that she felt an attraction towards Alexis and as the pair's connection deepened, she found herself becoming more tempered by her; however, she also found herself unable to admit the feelings to Alexis, due to her feelings of inadequacy as well as her parents' disdain for homosexuality weighing heavily on her ability to be who she truly was.
Sinn

**Sinn** was the undercity of the planet Immortys, built underneath Vida, where the lower class lived amongst smog and worked in factories producing Life elixir for the Senmorta Immortals.

## History

When the Immortals took power, they constructed Sinn underground and delegated the lower class there, where they would work in factories and towers producing the Life elixir. This resulted in Sinn becoming a toxic place to live, leading to the emergence of the Immortys Liberation Front. When a Sinn underling - in reality, a member of the ILF - assassinated an Immortal during the annual celebration of life in Vida, the Immortals called for the help of the Twenty-First Doctor to investigate the murder.

Her arrival did not go unnoticed by the ILF, who sent soldiers to jump both her and her companion Kane Solace, taking them to Sinn. After being shown the true nature of Sinn and Immortys, they soon agreed to help the ILF in their uprising. The first stage in the uprising was to liberate Sinn; exploding a Senmorta cargo vehicle before taking control of the refineries, docking bays and administrative buildings.

Soon enough, what little fighting there was ended and ILF soldiers started to claim Life elixir for themselves and the other citizens. The next stage moved on to liberate Vida. Eventually, General Kox learnt the truth of the Immortals' Life elixir. He was given the choice of ending elixir production - or continuing, but distributing it to all citizens of Immortys, now renamed Kolektis. (TV: *Too Much Life is a Dangerous Thing*)
Svark

**Svark** was a desert planet visited by the Master upon obtaining the Shevek Cro'taq. There, she converted the local population of Svari into creatures that would obey her will. Svark was also the site for the first skirmish in the war against the Klucuin, with a three-way conflict for the Shevek Cro'taq emerging between the Master, the Time Lords - who wished to maintain mastery over the universe - and the Klucuin.

## Characteristics

Svark was a world of crimson sand, with a sky that was always dark, being a shade of brown so close to black that the change between day and night was subtle and often only signalled by the presence (or lack thereof) of the sun or its moons. Svark was flat in terrain, with very few landmarks of note, nor did it hold many precious minerals or metals. (TV: *Fragile Peace*)

## History

Svark was a relatively unknown planet, being often overlooked due to being in close proximity to other more populated or resourceful worlds. (TV: *Fragile Peace*)

Upon arriving on the planet, the Master was greeted with curiosity by the local Svari population. This did not last long, however, as she quickly began to experiment with the powers of the Shevek Cro'taq, bending it to her will. She unleashed a fragment of its power, subsuming the population and transforming them into an army that would obey her without question. (TV: *Nightfall*)

With time, the Master began to tap into the elemental capabilities of the Shevek Cro'taq. She was able to create a small zone on the planet, which she could reshape as she wished. She was able to control the elements of these locations to a certain extent as well, bending fire, water, earth and air to create temporary constructs.

Upon the formation of a temporary truce on Trenzalore, the Time Lords and the Klucuin moved against the Master on Svark. Despite releasing the Svari to swarm the approaching military might of both factions, the Master soon found her powers waning upon the materialisation of the Doctor's TARDIS around the Shevek Cro'taq. The Fourteenth Doctor, however, found the materialisation difficult due to the power of the Shevek Cro'taq, and its very magical nature running in contrary to the laws of physics that govern the TARDIS. After a valiant effort, the TARDIS was knocked off its course ever so slightly, leaving the Shevek Cro'taq exposed for all sides to seize.

Ultimately the Klucuin succeeded in reclaiming the source of their powers, being strengthened in its vicinity. They attempted to release a destructive wave of flame to scorch the planet and its inhabitants to rock, but not before the Doctor was able to use her sonic screwdriver in conjunction with the TARDIS's defensive shield to reflect the attack. Unphased, the Klucuin departed with a final promise that this universe would bow to them with time, like all the other universes.

Unwilling to face judgement and humiliated by the defeat, the Master escaped with what survived of the Svari. Svark would once again fade out of history after this skirmish, with its one native population reduced drastically in number as a result of the Master's actions. (TV: *Fragile Peace*)

Ridani Rakhal

**Ridani Rakhal** was the leader of the Red Cult, a time travelling governmental organisation dedicated to tracking down Tosan who had fled from their planet.

## Biography

The brother of Mera Rakhal, a government official, Ridani became leader of the Red Cult through which he insisted was a legitimate route. However, this did not convince everyone amongst the government that it wasn't a case of nepotism.

Later, unaware that the government that they worked for had been indisposed by the Seventeenth Doctor and Teddy, (TV: *On Foreign Shores*) Ridani and the Red Cult continued their work but ultimately found that they could not locate any more Tosan. However, having been told not to return until they were contacted by the government or they located another Tosan, the Red Cult kept going until they eventually tracked down Teddy who had been staying at the Grand Scarlet Hotel.

Not sure which hotel resident was the Tosan they were looking for due to faulty equipment, Ridani ordered the Cultists to blend in and appear as residents as they secretly enacted their interrogation method on most, if not all residents of the hotel, as they made their way across the Hotel.

Being overzealous, Ridani grew frustrated with slow results and residents being distracted by their own déjà vu getting in their way - and therefore, he ordered for the Cult to be more aggressive in their search. Rushing through the interrogation process, it at one point backfired on him - causing him to remember his early days in the Cult, his rise through the ranks and the opposition he faced at the time.

Realising that the Cult were after Teddy, the Doctor kept him hidden whilst he lured the Cultists into the hotel bar, but more specifically, Ridani, who he engaged in conversation with, trying to play into his ego.

After gaining an understanding of the Red Cult and their history, the Doctor asked Ridani why they didn't go after Mera, to which he replied that because not only with her being part of the government - they would have had no interest in what she did - but she was also his own sister. Aiming to knock a smug Ridani down a peg, the Doctor then explained his own history with Tosan and how he brought down its oppressive government - something Ridani did not believe at first.

However, following the Doctor's insistance, Ridani enacted the Cult's interrogation method on him and discovered he was not lying, something that enraged him. He attempted to attack the Doctor, but by this point, it was too late and the Judoon arrived at the hotel to arrest the Cultists, having been called by the hotel manager, Ridani along with them.

Silvertax

The **Silvertax** were a bipedal feline species who originated from Melos, a small planet from the outer regions of the Beta Keplon Cluster. They would create wormholes to enter new planets to invade and take over completely, kidnapping natives for slave labour and food - often working alongside another native species; the Kanbi.

The Silvertax's verbal language was too simplistic and primitive for even the TARDIS to translate and henceforth incorporated other forms of communication such as scent, however, their written form was sophisticated.

## History

In 4059, the Silvertax and Kanbi had opened wormholes in the newly constructed Goldenbar Corporation Tower in London and begun to kidnap party-goers, dragging them through the wormholes to their underground base back at Melos. However, this party happened to be attended by the Fourteenth Doctor, Elias Danielsen and Fleur. Concerned by their inability to communicate with the Silvertax, the Doctor and Elias made their way through a wormhole whilst Fleur remained behind to aid in the evacuation of party-goers. From there, they discovered the true extent of their intelligence and stole machinery that opened the wormholes. Making their way back to London, they forced the Silvertax and Kanbi back through the wormholes via the use of a fire alarm activated at a frequency only the invaders could hear, causing them to retreat in pain. The Doctor then smashed the machinery, ensuring that the Silvertax and Kanbi could never return. (TV: *Feline Trouble at the Tower*)

By 9067, the Silvertax had reformed and instead focused on building their own civilisation across various colonies scattered throughout Melos. They had also developed a rudimental form of speech, allowing for easier communication; which was especially important considering they now shared Melos with humans who had formed an outpost in their war against the Daleks. When the Sixteenth Doctor arrived on Melos with her companions Violet Blackwell and Leo Darius-Alesandro, she was originally suspicious of the Silvertax but grew to trust them when they proved themselves bold and brave in the attack against the Daleks.
