The ancient Time Lords were known to take part in battles and conflicts, often helping to hunt species known to be dangerous. One of the last of these was [[Eternal War|a war]] against the [[Great Vampire]]s, which was so long and bloody that they turned against violence in general. ([[TV]]: {{cs|State of Decay (TV story)}}) For at least part of their history, the Time Lords adhered to a strict [[Non-interference policy|policy of non-interference]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The War Games (TV story)}}) Despite their attempts to keep up an appearance of being uninterested in the affairs of others, they still sent discreet missions where other Time Lords would act on their behalf. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Colony in Space (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Two Doctors (TV story)}}, {{cs|Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)}}, et al.) On one occasion, the [[Fourth Doctor]] was instructed to [[Genesis Incident|intercept]] the [[Creation of the Daleks|creation of]] the [[Dalek]] race, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)}}) a step which eventually led to [[Last Great Time War|a devastating Time War]] between the two species.
