It is located in a binary star system [2] million light years from Earth. In the revived series onwards Gallifrey was originally referred to as having been destroyed in the Time Warwhich was fought between the Time Lords and the Daleks. It was depicted in a flashback in " The Sound of Drums " [1] and appeared prominently in " The End of Time " — It is never definitively stated when the appearances of Gallifrey take place. As the planet is often reached by means of time travel, its relative present could conceivably exist almost anywhere in the Earth 's past or future as well as anywhere in the conceivable universe. From space, Gallifrey is seen as a yellow-orange planet and was close enough to central space lanes for spacecraft to require clearance from Gallifreyan Space Traffic Control as they pass through Gallifrey: No. 5 system. The Time Lords' principal city, named The Capitol, consists of shining towers protected by a mighty glass dome. The planet's so-called "second city" is Arcadia, and is seen falling to the Daleks in the minisode " The Last Day. The Doctor's granddaughter Susan first describes her home world not named as "Gallifrey" at the time as having bright, silver-leafed trees and a burnt orange sky at night in the serial The Sensorites In The Time Monsterthe Third Doctor says that "When I was a Gallifrey: No. 5 boy, we used to live in a house that was perched halfway up the top of a mountain", explaining, "I ran down that mountain and I found that the rocks weren't grey at all—but they were red, brown and purple and gold. And those pathetic little patches of sludgy snow were shining white. Shining white in the sunlight. He then elaborates how Gallifrey's second sun would "rise in the south and the mountains would shine", with the silver-leafed trees looking like "a forest on fire" in the mornings. The wastes of Gallifrey include the Death Zone, an area that was used as a gladiatorial Gallifrey: No. 5 by the first Time Lords, pitting Gallifrey: No. 5 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 Gallifrey: No. 5 Doctor and various other Time Lords have attended. Several of the spin-off novels have further information about Gallifrey. It is said to have at least two moons, one being the copper-coloured Pazithi Gallifreya first named in Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible ; [18] the novel Lungbarrow also places Karn setting of The Brain of Morbiusin Gallifrey's solar system, along with a frozen gas giant named Polarfrey and an "astrological figure" of "Kasterborous the Fibster". The Three Doctors —73 seemed to [ original research? In the episode " Utopia "the Tenth Doctor describes the year trillion as a time period not even the Time Lords travelled to. In " Spyfall ," the Master states that Gallifrey is once again in the bubble universe it was sent to in "The Day of the Doctor. The television series and people involved in its production repeatedly refer to the Time Lords as a species. He says it is supposed that these races are "the Daleks and the Time Lords". Few details on the history of the planet itself emerge from the original series run from — In " The End of the World "the Ninth Doctor Gallifrey: No. 5 that his home planet has been destroyed in a war and the Time Lords with it. The episode also indicates that the Time Lords are remembered in the far future. At the conclusion of that episode, that surviving Dalek self-destructs, leaving the Ninth Doctor believing that he was the sole survivor of the Time War. The Tenth Doctor 's reference to Gallifrey in " The Runaway Bride " is the first time the name of Gallifrey: No. 5 homeworld has been given onscreen since the new series began. The Doctor's revelation that he is from Gallifrey elicits terror from the Empress of the Racnoss. The planet makes its first appearance in the revived Gallifrey: No. 5 in " The Sound of Drums "where the Citadel, enclosed in a glass Gallifrey: No. 5 as described by the Doctor in " Gridlock ", Gallifrey: No. 5, is seen in flashback as the Doctor describes it. By the end of the war, Gallifrey is depicted in ruins. The dome of the main city, the Time Lord capital, the Citadel, is shattered and dozens of Dalek saucers have crashed on the plains below. The Master releases Gallifrey from its time lock. However, Gallifrey's reemergence is eventually stopped and reversed after it is 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 and ultimately to preserve the Time Lords Gallifrey: No. 5 the expense of all creation. Lord President Rassilon also believes that this action would elevate them to a higher form of existence, becoming "creatures of consciousness". Upon realising the scope of Rassilon's plan for self-preservation, the Tenth Doctor recalls that the Doctor that fought in the Time War had attempted to stop them during the war. Eventually, the Master comes to the aid of the Tenth Doctor and prevents Gallifrey: No. 5 and the rest of Gallifrey from coming through, breaking the link that held Gallifrey in relative time to 21st-century Earth. Implying that the Time Lords had resorted to desperate and deplorable measures to fight the Daleks, the Doctor is willing to break his code of non-violence to stop the return of the Time Lords. Gallifrey: No. 5 young pilot rejects assistance from the Eighth Doctor Gallifrey: No. 5 to her fear of the Time Lords. In the 50th anniversary special of the television series, " The Day of the Doctor "scenes are shown during the fall of Arcadia, Gallifrey's second city. Subsequently it is shown that Gallifrey wasn't actually destroyed. The final scenes depict three of the Doctor's incarnations—the Tenth Doctor, the Eleventh Doctor and the War Doctor ; the interface of the weapon, the Moment, that was supposed to destroy the planet; and the Eleventh Doctor's companion Clara Oswald decide against destroying it. Instead, they freeze the planet in time within a parallel pocket universe. This occurs with the help of the other Doctors, including the Twelfth Doctorwhose eyes alone are seen at this point. Gallifrey: No. 5 of destroying Gallifrey, the Dalek fleet echelons open fire on and destroy each other. In " The Time of the Doctor "the Time Lords are depicted as trying to re- enter the universe through a crack in the Universe on the planet Trenzalore. They broadcast a message throughout space and time, the question "Doctor Who? When the Doctor answers, they will know that it is safe to leave. However, this message inadvertently attracts various races, including the Daleks and Cybermento lay siege to Trenzalore; the Eleventh Doctor remaining to protect the inhabitants, but not wanting to release the Time Lords as this would mean the Gallifrey: No. 5 of Trenzalore and the initiation of another Time War. Hundreds of years later, Clara convinces the Time Lords to help the Doctor, dying from old age in his final regeneration, and the crack closes, before reopening in the sky above Trenzalore. The Time Lords give the Doctor a new regeneration cycle, before the crack seals for good with the Time Lords still lost, but a newly regenerated Twelfth Doctor Gallifrey: No. 5 to find them. These claims prove to be false, leaving the Doctor distraught. The Twelfth Doctor returns Gallifrey: No. 5 Gallifrey in " Heaven Sent "having taken the "long Gallifrey: No. 5 around" through breaking a wall of azbantium after he is teleported inside his confession dial. After Gallifrey: No. 5 is deposed and exiled by the Twelfth Doctor, Gallifrey is seen in a much later period in the episode abandoned apart from the human immortal Ashildrwho is protected in the Cloisters beneath the Citadel by a reality bubble. The Master converts the corpses of Time Lords into Cybermasters, with the power to regenerate. The Doctor threatens him with the Death Particle, a weapon created by Gallifrey: No. 5 Cyberium capable of destroying all organic life. She was unable to press it but Ko Sharmus did so for her, apparently destroying all life on the planet. Marc Platt 's novels Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible and Lungbarrowprovide a detailed backstory for Gallifrey: No. 5 civilisation seen in the main series. In the Dark Times occasionally mentioned in the televised serials such as The Five DoctorsGallifrey 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. Ancient Gallifreyans are all telepathic and were ruled by a female cult Gallifrey: No. 5 on a figure called the Pythia, who controlled the population through mysticism and prophecies. When the prophetic powers of the last of the Pythias failed her, Rassilion, Omega Gallifrey: No. 5 a shadowy figure known as The Other seized power in the name of science and Gallifrey: No.
