The line " Time and the Gods are at strife " inspired the title of Lord Dunsany's Time and the Gods.

Both Skaro and the Imperial Dalek mothership are apparently destroyed ( in the future ) when the Seventh Doctor tricks Davros into using the Time Lord artifact known as the Hand of Omega which makes Skaro's Sun go supernova.

* Epoch ( DC Comics ), a supervillain also known as the Lord of Time

The Eye provides the power required for time travel ( The Three Doctors, 1973 ; The Deadly Assassin, 1976 ), and all Time Lord TARDIS time machines draw their power from it ( the 1996 television movie ).

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 ).

Outside the city lie wastelands where " Outsiders ", Gallifreyans who have dropped out of Time Lord society, live in less technological tribal communities.

Inside the Death Zone stands the Tomb of Rassilon, the founder of Time Lord society ( The Five Doctors ).

Eight-year-old Gallifreyans are brought before the Schism and made to look into the Time Vortex as part of an initiation ceremony into the Time Lord Academy.

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 ").

These suspicions are later borne out in " Utopia " ( 2007 ), when the Tenth Doctor discovers that the renegade Time Lord the Master has survived the Time War and has been living in human form in the year 100 trillion, at the end of the material universe, a point so far forward in time that no Time Lord has ever travelled there.

Also seen is a ceremony initiating 8-year-old Gallifreyans — in particular the Master — into the Time Lord Academy.

The dome of the main city, the Time Lord capital, the Capitol, was shattered and dozens of Dalek saucers were crashed on the plains below.

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.

The Time Lords are further protected by phasing the entire region around Gallifrey into a temporal domain known as Inner Time, effectively separating the homeworld from interaction with the rest of the Universe.

* Shroob planet — The ( assumed ) homeworld of the alien Shroobs in the video game Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time.

This novel also featured the Time Lords launching an assault on the Nestene homeworld Polymos, which may or may not be connected to the war mentioned in " Rose ".

In " The End of the World " ( 2005 ), the Doctor states that his homeworld had been destroyed and that he is the last of the Time Lords.

A Vardan spaceship approaches the planet Gallifrey, homeworld of the Time Lords.

In the 2005 series, the Doctor states that his own homeworld Gallifrey, the entire Dalek race and its entire fleet of ten million warships have been wiped out in the last great Time War between the Daleks and the Time Lords.

( In The End of the World, the Doctor stated that his homeworld had been destroyed and that he was the last of the Time Lords, which raises the question of whether Braxiatel is still alive.

They also believed that she might have the ability to close the Eye of Harmony on Gallifrey, the Time Lord homeworld.

The later Companion Chronicles audio story, The Catalyst, implies that Leela survived the Time War ; she mentions that her adopted homeworld no longer exists and she ages rapidly due to the Time Lords no longer being able to keep her young.

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.

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 ).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
