By the 2005 series, the Daleks and the Time Lords had engaged in a mutually destructive Time War.

The plot of the play involved the Time Lords putting Davros on trial, with Nyder as a witness.

Gallifrey is a fictional planet in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who and is the home world of the Doctor and the Time Lords.

As the planet is often reached by means of time travel, its relative present could conceivably exist anywhere in the Earth's past or future before the year 100 trillion, which the Time Lords never reached.

This prevents all outsiders ( with hostile intent, or otherwise ) from approaching the planet and allows the Time Lords to maintain their status of absolute neutrality.

The Citadel of the Time Lords stands on the Continent of Wild Endeavour, in the Mountains of Solace and Solitude (" The Sound of Drums "), where the capital is also located.

Also situated in the capital is the Matrix, the vast extradimensional computer network which acts as the repository of all Time Lord knowledge as well as containing the memories of dead Time Lords ( The Deadly Assassin ).

This implies that not all people native to Gallifrey are Time Lords.

The wastes of Gallifrey include the Death Zone, an area that was used as a gladiatorial arena by the first Time Lords, pitting various species kidnapped from their respective time zones against each other ( although Daleks and Cybermen were considered too dangerous to use ).

Somewhere on Gallifrey there is also an institute called the Academy, which the Doctor and various other Time Lords have attended.

It is not clear whether this building is in the capital or outside it and equally it is unclear whether it is a single building or different for each group of Time Lords ( Borusa refers to Prydon Academy in The Deadly Assassin, but the Doctor in The Time Monster and The Sound of Drums refers to it as a single Academy ).

Subsequently, in " Dalek " ( 2005 ), it is revealed that the last great Time War was fought between the Time Lords and the Daleks, ending in the obliteration of both sides and with only two apparent survivors ; the Doctor and a lone Dalek that had somehow fallen through time and crashed on Earth.

It is suggested that other Time Lords might have survived the war when the Face of Boe utters its final words to the Doctor: " Know this, Time Lord: you are not alone " (" Gridlock ").

However, Gallifrey's reemergence is eventually stopped and reversed after it was made clear that the release of Gallifrey would lead to the Time Lords destroying time-in effect destroying the universe-in order to defeat the Daleks.

" Upon realizing this, the Doctor and the Master worked together to send the Time Lords and Gallifrey back into the Time Lock, at the expense of the Master's disappearance.

Implying that the Time Lords had resorted to desperate and deplorable measures to fight the Daleks, the Doctor was willing to break his code of non-violence to stop the return of the Time Lords.

A Vardan spaceship approaches Gallifrey from space ( from The Invasion of Time )

From space, Gallifrey is seen as a yellow-orange planet and is close enough to central space lanes for spacecraft to require clearance from Gallifreyan Space Traffic Control as they pass through its system ( The Invasion of Time, 1978 ).

In " The End of Time, Part One ", the Master refers to his father's land on Gallifrey which had red grass and stretched across the slopes of Mount Perdition.

The 2009 story The End of Time once again featured Gallifrey, which the Master releases from the Time Lock the Doctor had created to contain the war.

It was stated by the 10th doctor in The End of Time that Gallifrey was not how he and The Master knew it in their youth.

In the Dark Times ( occasionally mentioned in the televised serials such as The Five Doctors ), Gallifrey was at the centre of an empire covering dozens of worlds and continually being extended by heroes such as Prydonius ( whom the Time Lord chapter is named after ).

This backstory explains why no children are seen in the classic series Gallifrey stories and provides an explanation for the male-centric nature of Time Lord society.

This provides a possible explanation for existence of Irving Braxiatel, a Time Lord who claims to be the Doctor's brother yet is not one of the cousins from Lungbarrow and the implication in The Gallifrey Chronicles that the character Marnal is The Master's father ( whose existence is mentioned in The End of Time ).

The Virgin New Adventures establish a religion on Gallifrey centred around the three main gods, Time, Death and Pain.

In the Eighth Doctor Adventures novel The Ancestor Cell by Peter Anghelides and Stephen Cole, Gallifrey is destroyed as a result of the Eighth Doctor's desire to prevent the voodoo cult Faction Paradox from starting a war between the Time Lords and an unnamed Enemy.

Hints about this future war are dropped in several books earlier in the series beginning with Lawrence Miles's Alien Bodies and the war itself plays out as it would have originally done in Miles ' Faction Paradox series in which certain names are changed for copyright reasons ( the Time Lords become the Great Houses and Gallifrey becomes the Home World ).

In order to have boltholes or decoys in case of attack, the Time Lords have created nine separate planet Gallifreys ( it even hinted that the original Gallifrey may at some point be reduced to ruins ) and special looms to constantly produce new soldiers.

It is also hinted that the Celestial Intervention Agency will evolve into the beings of pure thought known as the Celestis, who observe the war from outside this dimension ( the Last Parliament in which they sit resembles the Panopticon on Gallifrey and the closest anyone gets to describing them is similar to the Time Lords ' robes ).

When the Doctor destroys Gallifrey the war no longer happens and his actions also apparently ( and retroactively ) wipe the Time Lords from history.

In the last regular Eighth Doctor novel, The Gallifrey Chronicles by Lance Parkin, it is revealed that while Gallifrey was destroyed, the Time Lords were not erased from history.
