{{You may|Time war|n1=the general concept of a time war}}
The '''Time War''' — or the '''Last Great Time War''' — was the war between the mightiest races in the universe, the [[Time Lord]]s and the [[Dalek]]s, "for the sake of all creation". It resulted in the apparent destruction of [[Gallifrey]], leaving only two (known) Time Lords and a small number of Daleks as survivors.

SALEM & THE LAST GREAT TIME WAR. (The Pre-Time War Back Story)
The character Donna Salem was the top secret time traveler that 
first began time traveling from Planet Earth.  Sept 10th 2005AD.
Refer To Salem (Donna Salem AKA Time Traveling White Witch)
Also Refer To Project Red Salem.    (New Scotland Yard's Anti-Time Travel Terrorism)
Set before the time war. Salem's time traveling adventures very soon drew the close
attention of the Time Lords.      The 8th Doctor (Paul McGann) Was then immediately
summoned to Gallifrey and was then given an assignment to track down and to recruit
this new human time traveler Donna Salem.   But on successfully delivering Salem to 
Gallifrey. The 8th Doctor very soon discovers the real truth behind the Time Lord's
curious interest in Salem. Meanwhile somewhere inside deep space. An unknown threat 
known as the Paradox Faction from the far future then attacks other alien worlds
and then mysteriously disappears once again.   The Time Lords want to recruit Salem
to fight in a time war. Resurrecting Rassilon to lead them straight into a time war.
The 8th Doctor understandably objects protests to fighting in this time war.
And then leaves Gallifrey in angry protest. Salem agrees to work for the Time Lords.
As she then knows.  The dire consequences of standing idly by as this time war then
threatens to destroy all known creation throughout the universe.
But Salem is very determined to involve the Doctor into the up and coming time war.
She then hatches a plan to lure the 8th Doctor to Planet Karn.

'''{{PAGENAME}}''' was . . . ''insert brief lead here and use past tense throughout article.  See the [[Tardis:Tardis Manual]] and [[Tardis:Layout guide|Layout guide]] if you have questions.'' 

{{NameSort}}== The war ==
=== The beginning ===
The Daleks created the [[Dogma Virus]], which would corrupt Time Lord DNA and eventually wipe out the Time Lords. They sent the virus to Gallifrey through an organisation known as [[Free Time]], who were working for them. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Panacea (audio story)|Panacea]]'', ''[[Ascension (audio story)|Ascension]]'')

The Daleks then managed to hack into the [[Matrix]], giving them a backdoor to invading Gallifrey. The Dalek Supreme led an invasion force into the Matrix with the intention of leading them out into Gallifrey itself. The plan was stopped by [[Romana II]] and [[Trey|one of her future incarnations]], who created enough defences inside the Matrix to allow it to be shut down. Romana II trapped them in a time loop to ensure that a temporal war with the Daleks would be avoided.

Acting through his own authority and unaware that Romana had succeeded in defeating the Daleks, [[Narvin]] sent [[Valyes]] to [[Skaro]] to meet the [[Fourth Doctor]], and give him a mission to avert the creation of the Daleks. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Ascension (audio story)|Ascension]]'') The Doctor's mission on Skaro during the [[Thousand Year War]] had certain objectives:
* If possible, to avert the [[creation of the Daleks]]
* Otherwise to alter their development and make them less aggressive
* To find some intrinsic flaw or weakness to exploit in the Daleks

The Doctor believed he might have set back the history of the Daleks for a thousand years. ([[TV]]: ''[[Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)|Genesis of the Daleks]]'') This attempt to avert their creation created hostilities by the Daleks towards Time Lords and would eventually lead to war. ([[WC]]: ''[[Captain Jack's Monster Files]]: [[Dalek]]'', [[COMIC]]:'' [[Hunters of the Burning Stone (comic story)|Hunters of the Burning Stone]]'', [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Dalek Conquests (audio story)|The Dalek Conquests]]'', ''[[Ascension (audio story)|Ascension]]'')

In revenge of the Time Lords plot to destroy them, the Daleks attempted to create a duplicate of the [[Fifth Doctor]] to send to [[Gallifrey]] and assassinate the High Council of the Time Lords. ([[TV]]: ''[[Resurrection of the Daleks (TV story)|Resurrection of the Daleks]]'', [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Dalek Conquests (audio story)|The Dalek Conquests]]'')

The final Dalek attempt to attack the Time Lords involved the [[Hand of Omega]], which [[Davros]] attempted to use to make the Daleks have mastery over time like the Time Lords. The [[Seventh Doctor]] tricked Davros into using the Hand of Omega to destroy Skaro's sun. ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'', [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Dalek Conquests (audio story)|The Dalek Conquests]]'')

After this, the Daleks' next step was to start a war with the Time Lords. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Dalek Conquests (audio story)|The Dalek Conquests]]'')

=== The conflict ===
The Dalek forces numbered in the billions ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') and fielded a fleet of ten million [[Dalek flying saucer|flying saucers]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]]'') They also unleashed the full might of the [[Deathsmiths of Goth]]. The Time Lords used over a million [[Battle TARDIS]]es. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Peacemaker (novel)|Peacemaker]]'') Over the course of the war the Time Lords deployed every forbidden weapon of the [[Omega Arsenal]] against the Daleks save for [[the Moment]], which they dared not use because it had a conscience and would sit in judgment of their actions. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor]]'')

[[File:GallifreyDuringTimeWar.png|left|thumb|The start of the War. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Agent Provocateur]]'')]]
The [[Eighth Doctor]] decided to become a part of the Time War after watching a child die at the hands of a Dalek. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Museum Peace]]'') He stated that he refused to fight in the war, claiming he was "a good man", and instead "helped out" when he could. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Night of the Doctor (TV story)|The Night of the Doctor]]'')

During the period of helping, the Eighth Doctor tried to regain [[the Great Key]], which had been stolen by unknown forces. After being imprisoned for a month, with the help of [[Chantir]], he overpowered the [[prison guard (The Forgotten)|guards]] and escaped with the key. With the key, he believed that the [[De-mat Gun]] could be replicated and the [[Medusa Cascade]] closed. The Doctor planned to modify the gun so that instead of it removing an individual from time and space, it would remove millions. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Forgotten (comic story)|The Forgotten]]'') Douglas Henderson was created as a living weapon during the Time War. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Big, Blue Box]]'')

In the first year, [[Davros]] was killed at the [[Gates of Elysium]] when his [[Davros' command ship|command ship]] flew into the jaws of the [[Nightmare Child]]. The Doctor tried to save him, but failed. At the cost of his own sanity, [[Caan]], the last survivor of the Cult Of Skaro, was able to [[temporal shift|time shift]] back into the war and save Davros from the [[time-lock]]ed event, bringing him into the post-war universe. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Stolen Earth (TV story)|The Stolen Earth]]'')

Some time during the war, the [[Eighth Doctor]] tried to save a gun-ship pilot, Cass, as her spaceship was on a collision-course with the planet [[Karn]]. Cass rejected his help after finding out he was a Time Lord, claiming he was no different than the Daleks. Both Cass and the Doctor died in the crash. The [[Sisterhood of Karn]] temporarily revived the Doctor, and offered to control his regeneration so that he could become the person he needed to be to end the Time War. Having kept out of the war till this point, he eventually succumbed to their persuasive arguments. He told them he needed to [[War Doctor|become a warrior]], and regenerated. This newly-regenerated incarnation rejected the title of "Doctor" immediately, his first words being, "Doctor, no more." ([[TV]]: ''[[The Night of the Doctor (TV story)|The Night of the Doctor]]'') The [[Sontaran]]s told legends of [[the Doctor]] leading Time Lords into battle. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Sontaran Stratagem (TV story)|The Sontaran Stratagem]]'')

During the war, the entire chain of [[Hotel Historia]] was destroyed, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Hotel Historia (comic story)|Hotel Historia]]'') [[Polymos]] was destroyed, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Dust of Ages]]''), [[Kolox]] was destroyed, leaving behind the [[Kolox Nebula]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Skrawn Inheritance]]'') and in the first days the home planet of the [[Zygon]]s was destroyed. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') It was also implied that the [[Nestene]] lost their homeworld during the war. ([[TV]]: ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'') The [[Gelth]] were reduced to gaseous form. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Unquiet Dead (TV story)|The Unquiet Dead]]'')

The Time Lords resurrected [[the Master]], believing him an excellent soldier for a Time War, due to his savagery. The Master was at the [[Cruciform]], but when the [[Dalek Emperor]] took control of it, he ran in fear from the battlefield to the end of the universe, remaining unaware of the Time War's conclusion until told by the Doctor many years later.  ([[TV]]: ''[[The Sound of Drums]]'')

[[File:Gallifrey time war.jpg|right|thumb|[[Gallifrey]] during the final days of the War ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'')]]
Towards the end of the war, the Daleks sent a capsule to [[Earth]] in the year [[70]] to spread the [[Dalek Factor]] amongst [[human]]s. The capsule's engine exploded and the Dalek was killed soon after impact. It released only a small amount of the Dalek Factor, leading to only one in five hundred million humans having it. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[I am a Dalek]]'')

At the heart of the war, millions were killed and brought back to life every second. ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'')

=== Conclusion ===
Near the end of the War, the Doctor rejected his name, and the Time Lords called him simply, "the Renegade". [[Priyan]] believed that the Doctor now stood against the Time Lords, and would use the Moment to his own ends. By the last day of the war, the Daleks had destroyed every [[Battle TARDIS]] and began to invade Gallifrey itself. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Sky Jacks (comic story)|Sky Jacks]]'') A crucial battlefield was [[Arcadia (city)|Arcadia]], where the Doctor fought on the front lines. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doomsday (TV story)|Doomsday]]'', ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]], ''[[TV]]'': [[The Last Day]]'') Arcadia was a city on Gallifrey, and the most secure Time Lord stronghold. It had defences called [[sky trench]]es. It was thought to have been impossible to break through two of them, but in the last day of the conflict, the Daleks broke through all 400 of them. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Last Day (TV story)|The Last Day]]'') Finally, they then proceeded to bombard [[Gallifrey]] from space with their remaining fleets, all the while moving torwards the [[Capitol]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor]]'')

The Doctor came into possession of [[the Moment]] and was ready to destroy Gallifrey. ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'', ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') One account claimed that the Doctor created the Moment from a [[Demat Gun|De-Mat Gun]] modified by the [[Great Key of Rassilon|Great Key]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Don't Step on the Grass (comic story)|Don't Step on the Grass]]'') Another revealed that the [[War Doctor]], showing no familiarity with its workings or sentient operating system, stole the Moment from the [[Omega Arsenal]] on the final day of the Time War. [[The General]] said the Moment was the final creation of the Ancients of Gallifrey. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'')

President Rassilon was so desperate he proposed the [[Ultimate Sanction]]. The Time Lords would become creatures of pure consciousness and all of creation would be destroyed. Learning the Doctor possessed the Moment, the Time Lord High Council tried to escape the time lock by implanting a signal in the mind of the Master when he was a boy. They then sent a Gallifreyan [[diamond]] called a [[White-Point Star]] to [[Earth]] in [[2009]], where {{Simm}} had escaped to. With the signal inside the older Master and six billion humans converted by the [[Immortality Gate]] into [[the Master Race]] to triangulate it, the Master made a connection with the Time Lords' signal.
 
Five Time Lords, including Rassilon and [[the Woman]], escaped to Earth in 2009, where [[Gallifrey]] itself started to return and everything from the war could escape. The [[Tenth Doctor]], who had already ended the war some time before, broke the connection by shooting the White-Point Star; the Time Lords, Gallifrey, and the Master, who had seen how monstrous his people had become and decided to take revenge on Rassilon for making him a monster, vanished in a burst of white light and were sent, according to the Doctor, "back into [the] hell" of the Time War. ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'')

As a consequence of this incident, [[Wilfred Mott]] became trapped in a radiation booth nearing a meltdown. The Tenth Doctor sacrificed himself to rescue his companion and exposed himself to a lethal 500,000 rads of radiation. ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'') This ultimately forced him to use up the final regeneration of his original cycle and become the [[Eleventh Doctor]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'', ''[[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]'')

Other horrors and terrors seen in the final days of the war (including the Daleks) were the [[Nightmare Child]], the [[Skaro Degradations]], the [[Horde of Travesties]] and the [[Could've Been King]] with his [[Army of Meanwhiles and Neverweres]]. The [[Tenth Doctor]] described the war's final days as "hell." ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'')

According to one account, when the Doctor used the Moment, the war was [[time lock]]ed. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Don't Step on the Grass]]'') The time lock made it (in theory, or at least according to the Tenth Doctor) impossible to revisit the events; [[Dalek Caan]], however, somehow entered, albeit at the cost of his sanity, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Stolen Earth]]'') while the Moment itself was able to bring the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors through the time lock. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'')

Gallifrey disappeared in a silent flash as bright as a sun, with many people believing that it had been destroyed. Its disappearance was so profound it stretched deep into the past and far into the future. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Eyeless]]'') The blast was so powerful the universe convulsed as planets, systems and galaxies were obliterated. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Agent Provocateur]]'') In reality, Gallifrey had not been destroyed, but merely transported to an alternate dimension by all thirteen incarnations of the Doctor; it was spared, but stored in stasis, waiting to be recovered. At the same time, all of the Daleks, having surrounded Gallifrey and bombarding it from space, suddenly became a spherical firing squad and destroyed themselves in a massive explosion that was believed by the rest of the universe to be Gallifrey's destruction as well. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor]]'')

The [[Cruciform]] fell when Gallifrey vanished. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Forgotten (comic story)|The Forgotten]]'') The [[Eye of Time]], long possessed by the Time Lords, vanished from the universe as well, later being repossessed by the Doctor. ([[GAME]]: ''[[City of the Daleks (video game)|City of the Daleks]]'').   

Shortly after the Time War ended, the War Doctor realised he would not retain his memory of saving Gallifrey with his timestream out of sync from that of his future selves. However, he had reached a very advanced physical age and regenerated. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor]]'') His next incarnation, the Ninth Doctor, not knowing about Gallifrey's survival due to his time stream being out of sync, explained to Rose that even saving one man who "wasn't supposed to be alive" affected the whole of time. The Doctor rhetorically asked Rose whether she believed that the thought hadn't occurred to him to go back and save his people and planet. While the Ninth Doctor did not reference the Time Lock, he certainly knew attempting to save his people would have grave consequences. ([[TV]]: ''[[Father's Day (TV story)|Father's Day]]'') 

According to the Tenth Doctor, the time lock prevented him going back and saving his people. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Fires of Pompeii]]'')

With the exception of a very few survivors, the Time Lords and the Daleks disappeared from time and space. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]]'', ''[[The Parting of the Ways]]'', ''[[Army of Ghosts]]''/''[[Doomsday]]) ''

== Aftermath ==
The [[Nestene Consciousness]]'s and the [[Zygons]]'s planets were destroyed. ([[TV]]: ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]], ''[[TV]]'': [[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'')

The [[Gelth]] lost their physical bodies because of the war. They were reduced to gaseous forms. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Unquiet Dead]]'')

Though the [[Sontaran]]s were aware of the war, they weren't allowed to take part, much to their dismay ([[TV]]: ''[[The Sontaran Stratagem]]''), as opposed to the [[Graxnix]] who were one of the lowest races to take part. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Hotel Historia (comic story)|Hotel Historia]]'')

[[Eve (The Mad Woman in the Attic)|Eve]]'s species was wiped out in the Last Great Time War due to their abilities to see timelines. ([[TV]]: [[SJAF 2|''SJAF'' 2]])

The [[Forest of Cheem]] witnessed the the war and wept at the bloodshed. ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of the World (TV story)|The End of the World]]'')

The [[Skrawn]] homeworld, [[Kolox]], was obliterated by the time winds at the end of the Time War which left the [[Kolox Nebula]] (also known as the Skrawn inheritance).  ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Skrawn Inheritance]]'')

The [[Kin]], locked away aeons ago by the [[Time Lords]], escaped their temporal prison due to the Time War's mutilation of Time, Space and Matter.  ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Nothing O'Clock]]'')

The disappearance of the Time Lords created a vacuum that may have left history more vulnerable to change. The [[Ninth Doctor]] explained to [[Rose Tyler]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Unquiet Dead (TV story)|The Unquiet Dead]]'') the [[Tenth Doctor|Tenth]] to [[Donna Noble]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The Fires of Pompeii (TV story)|The Fires of Pompeii]]'', ''[[The Unicorn and the Wasp (TV story)|The Unicorn and the Wasp]]'') and the [[Eleventh Doctor|Eleventh]] to [[Clara Oswald]] ([[TV]]: ''[[Cold War (TV story)|Cold War]]'') that time was in flux and history could change instantly.
[[File:The History of the Time War2.jpg|thumb|The Doctor would later hold a book detailing the events of the Time War in the [[TARDIS library]] ([[TV]]: ''[[Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS (TV story)|Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS]]'')]]

One demonstration of this was when Rose created a [[temporal paradox]] by saving her father, [[Peter Tyler|Pete]], just before his death in a traffic accident. This summoned the [[Reaper]]s, who descended to sterilise the "wound" in time by devouring everything in sight. The Ninth Doctor said that if the Time Lords had been still around, they could have held back the Reapers and prevented or repaired the paradox. ([[TV]]: ''[[Father's Day (TV story)|Father's Day]]'')

As well, the Tenth Doctor noted that when the Time Lords were around, travel between [[Parallel universe|parallel worlds]] was less difficult. With their demise, the paths between worlds were closed. ([[TV]]: ''[[Rise of the Cybermen]]'')

When the Time Lords made contact with the universe through a [[Time Field|crack in time]] on the planet [[Trenzalore]], they broadcast [[The Question|the first question]] to the universe to draw the Doctor in to free them from the [[pocket universe]] in which they were trapped. This also drew in "half the universe" who would descend upon Trenzalore if the Time Lords were released, and restart the Time War. The Doctor fought for centuries in the [[Siege of Trenzalore]] to prevent this, unwilling to leave the planet to its destruction but equally unwilling to release the Time Lords and restart the Time War which would bring Hell upon the whole universe once more. Ultimately, the Time Lords themselves closed the crack in time, closing the only known way for them to return, but not before granting the Doctor a new [[regeneration]] cycle, allowing him to defeat the Daleks besieging the planet (everyone else having been destroyed or retreated) and changing his future. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time of the Doctor]]'')

=== Known survivors ===
==== Time Lords and other residents of Gallifrey ====
Most of the inhabitants of Gallifrey at the end of the War survived, though apart from the [[War Doctor]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of the World (TV story)|The End of the World]]'', ''[[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]]'',  ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') and {{Jacobi}}, disguised as a [[human]] using the [[Chameleon Arch]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Utopia (TV story)|Utopia]]'') the majority of the Time Lords and Gallifrey itself were put into stasis in another universe. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'')

[[K9 Mark I]] travelled through time to the year [[2050]] some point before the disappearance of Gallifrey. ([[TV]]: ''[[Regeneration (TV story)|Regeneration]])''

==== Daleks ====
A [[Metaltron|single Dalek]] survived and crashed on the [[Ascension Islands]] on [[Earth]] in [[1962]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]]'')

The [[Dalek Emperor]] also survived. He had [[time travel|fallen through time]] to approximately the 2,000th century. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Parting of the Ways]]'')

The Daleks sent a [[time capsule]] to [[70]] [[AD]] [[Earth]] in order to spread the Dalek Factor amongst the humans. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[I am a Dalek]]'')

The [[Cult of Skaro]] and the Daleks imprisoned in the [[Genesis Ark]] left the universe for [[the Void]] before the end of the war. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doomsday]]'')

A group of Daleks that appeared to be Time War era appeared in the [[22nd century]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Living Ghosts]]'', ''[[Extermination of the Daleks]]'')

Several Daleks who had survived several pre-Time War encounters with the Doctor on the planets [[Kembel]], [[Spiridon]], [[Exxilon]], [[Aridius]] and [[Vulcan (The Power of the Daleks)|Vulcan]] resided in the [[Dalek Asylum]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Asylum of the Daleks (TV story)|Asylum of the Daleks]]'')

==== Others ====
Though [[Davros]] was believed by the Doctor to have been killed in the war (consumed by the Nightmare Child), [[Dalek Caan]] [[temporal shift]]ed into the war and rescued him. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Stolen Earth]], [[Journey's End]]'')

[[The Advocate]] escaped the Time War when Davros was rescued by Dalek Caan, using his path. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Fugitive]]'', ''[[Don't Step on the Grass]]'')

[[Eve (The Mad Woman in the Attic)|Eve]] was sent to [[Earth]] as a child to survive extermination in the Time War. ([[TV]]: [[SJAF 2|''SJAF'' 2]])

The [[Gelth]] survived but lost their physical bodies, reduced to a gaseous state. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Unquiet Dead]]'')

The [[Zygon]] [[Zygor|homeworld]] apparently burned in the first days of the war. Several Zygons survived this attack. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'')

The [[Skrawn]] which were lucky to have survived their planet's destruction were left drifting aimlessly, bitter and vengeful. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Skrawn Inheritance]]'')

== Behind the scenes ==
* Every season finale by [[Russell T Davies]] featured a villain who'd escaped from the Time War. [[Series 1 (Doctor Who)|Series 1]]'s ''[[Bad Wolf (TV story)|Bad Wolf]]''/''[[The Parting of the Ways (TV story)|The Parting of the Ways]]'' had the [[Dalek Emperor]] and a whole fleet of [[Dalek]]s; [[series 2 (Doctor Who)|series 2]]'s ''[[Army of Ghosts (TV story)|Army of Ghosts]]''/''[[Doomsday (TV story)|Doomsday]]'' had the [[Cult of Skaro]]; [[series 3 (Doctor Who)|series 3]]'s ''[[Utopia (TV story)|Utopia]]''/''[[The Sound of Drums (TV story)|The Sound of Drums]]''/''[[Last of the Time Lords (TV story)|Last of the Time Lords]]'' had [[the Master]]; [[series 4 (Doctor Who)|series 4]] had [[Davros]]; and the [[2009 Specials]]' ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'' had [[Rassilon]] and the [[High Council]].
* Though a frequent theme in the entirety of the RTD era, the Time War itself was not depicted until [[2013 (releases)|2013]]'s ''[[The Last Day]]'' and ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]''. Until then, the audience was only treated to brief, scattered mentions. ''The End of Time'' did depict Gallifrey and the actions of the High Council during the last days of the Time War but nothing of the fighting against the Daleks.
* Every one of the Doctor's [[Regeneration|regenerations]] within the revived series has occurred following an event that is in some way related to the Time War:
** The [[Eighth Doctor]] regenerated during the Time War with the help of the [[Sisterhood of Karn]] who turned him into the man he needed to be to end the war. ([[TV]]: [[The Night of the Doctor (TV story)|''The Night of the Doctor'']])
** The [[War Doctor]] regenerated after growing too old following years of fighting in the Time War. He regenerated shortly after he and all of the other Doctors saved Gallifrey from destruction and obliterated the [[Dalek Fleet|Dalek fleet]]. ([[TV]]: [[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|''The Day of the Doctor'']])
** The [[Ninth Doctor]] regenerated after a [[Battle of the Game Station|battle]] with the Dalek Emperor who had survived the Time War. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Parting of the Ways]]'')
** The [[Tenth Doctor]] regenerated after defeating [[Rassilon]] who was attempting to free Gallifrey from the [[time lock]], bringing the rest of the war with him. ([[TV]]: [[The End of Time (TV story)|''The End of Time'']]) Earlier, the Tenth Doctor also aborted a regeneration which was caused when he was shot by a Dalek of a [[New Dalek Empire|new empire]] created by Davros who had escaped the Time War with the help of Dalek Caan. ([[TV]]: [[The Stolen Earth (TV story)|''The Stolen Earth'']]/[[Journey's End (TV story)|''Journey's End'']]) The Eleventh Doctor later confirmed that this did indeed count as a regeneration. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time of the Doctor]]'')
** The [[Eleventh Doctor]] also died of old age after centuries [[Siege of Trenzalore|defending]] [[Trenzalore]], preventing the Time Lords from returning and the Time War from starting anew. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]'')
* A 2005 faux-documentary produced by [[BBC Radio]], ''[[The Dalek Conquests]]'', attempts to put the Time War into context with the Doctor's recurring conflicts with the Daleks over the years.
* A long-running story arc featured in the [[BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures]] book series concurrent with the return of ''Doctor Who'' to television in 2005 featured another Time War, the [[Second War in Heaven]] between the Time Lords and [[the Enemy]]. [[Russell T Davies]] has, however, been on record {{fact}} as stating that the Second War in Heaven is a ''different'' conflict, which is one reason why the war referenced on TV is called "the ''Last'' Great Time War."

=== ''Doctor Who: Battles in Time'' ===
[[Tardis:Valid sources|Non-narrative]] material in ''[[Doctor Who: Battles in Time (magazine)|Doctor Who: Battles in Time]]'' magazine revealed further survivors of the Time War.

* According to [[DWBIT 51|''DWBIT'' 51]], an army of Daleks were weakened and fell through time to [[Distant past|70 million years]] before the [[21st century]] and were destroyed by [[dinosaur]]s.
* According to [[DWBIT 11|''DWBIT'' 11]], a [[Dalek fighter pod|Dalek ship]] crashed in an island in the western part of the North [[Atlantic Ocean]], causing a disturbance in human vehicles and the mysterious disappearances of aircraft and surface vessels, which alludes to the eerie phenomenons of the [[Bermuda Triangle]]. Their ultimate fate is unknown. 

Also, [[DWBIT 19|''DWBIT'' 19]] stated a group of Daleks massacred the [[pirate]] fleet of Captain Jack Lawrence in late September 1697.
