| }}'''Kaldor''' was a desert [[planet]] colonised by [[human]]s for the many [[mineral]]s in its sands, among which were [[zelanite]], [[keefan]], and [[lucanol]] (which was most prized).
| |
| | |
| The most prominent structure on the planet was [[Kaldor City]], populated by humans with [[sandminer robot]] servants that tended to their whims and also helped manage the [[sandminer]]s themselves. The city itself was surrounded by the [[Outer Zone]]s, which were inhabited by less wealthy members of Kaldor society. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Occam's Razor (audio story)|Occam's Razor]]'')
| |
| | |
| While the people of Kaldor were aware that they were descended from off-world colonists, by the [[29th century]] they purposefully isolated themselves from any contact with other planets for generations, as the [[Kaldor City Company]] feared that it might lead to loss of profits. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Occam's Razor (audio story)|Occam's Razor]]''). Years later, however, the people of Kaldor were in contact with other planets and launched spaceships such as ''[[The Lorelei]]''. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Robophobia (audio story)|Robophobia]]'')
| |
| | |
| The [[Fourth Doctor]] and [[Leela]] once visited the planet and became involved in a plot to make the robots kill all humans. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Robots of Death]]'')
| |
| | |
| Centuries after the colonisation of Kaldor, an [[UV-1]] robot began to reprogram [[Super-Voc]]s to turn them against humans, but this plan was stopped. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Crisis on Kaldor (comic story)|Crisis on Kaldor]]'')

| == Behind the scenes ==
| |
| * In the book ''[[Doctor Who: 100 Scariest Monsters]]'', Kaldor is misspelled ''Caldor''.
| |
| * The comic ''Crisis on Kaldor'' has the Doctor stating the planet's name to be Kaldor, while the name was previously only thought to be applied to the city.
