| '''Mordee''', ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Theatre of War (novel)|Theatre of War]]'', [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Disassembled (audio story)|Disassembled]]'') sometimes called '''Sevateem''', ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Time Traveller's Diary (novel)|Time Traveller's Diary]]'') was an [[Earth]]-like [[planet]] had at least part of its surface covered in dense [[jungle]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Catalyst (audio story)|The Catalyst]]'')

| == Description and name == | |
| The planet lacked [[season]]s. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Child (audio story)|The Child]]'') [[Leela]] described it as similar to the [[Congo]] in [[Central Africa]] ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Ghosts of Gralstead (audio story)|The Ghosts of Gralstead]]'') and the jungle planet [[Garros]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Zygon Hunt (audio story)|Zygon Hunt]]'')

| | |
| It was home to [[Giant bird (The Time Vampire)|giant jungle birds]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Time Vampire (audio story)|The Time Vampire]]'') [[cave]] [[frog]]s, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Man at the End of the Garden (audio story)|The Man at the End of the Garden]]'') and the [[Horda]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Catalyst (audio story)|The Catalyst]]'')

| The Sevateem never named the planet because they thought there weren't any other worlds. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Day of the Comet (audio story)|The Day of the Comet]]'') Leela told [[the Brigadier]] that either her planet had no name or the Doctor had never told her its name. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Revisionists (audio story)|The Revisionists]]'') A version of [[Leela (Disassembled)|Leela]] from an [[alternate timeline]] referred to the colony world she came from as Mordee. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Disassembled (audio story)|Disassembled]]'') One human [[Time traveller (Time Traveller's Diary)|time traveller]] also called it "Sevateem". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Time Traveller's Diary (novel)|Time Traveller's Diary]]'')

| == History == | |
| In the [[far future]], the planet was colonised by the [[Mordee expedition]]. Shortly after they arrived, the [[Fourth Doctor]] visited and assisted them in repairing their computer, [[Xoanon]]. However, his efforts to help instead drove Xoanon mad, and after the Doctor's departure the [[Mordee (people)|Mordee]] split into two groups, the [[Sevateem]] and the [[Tesh]], both of whom worshipped Xoanon. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Face of Evil (TV story)|The Face of Evil]]'')

| [[Leela]] was born and raised as a [[warrior]] among the Sevateem. In her youth, she went to an area where only the mightiest of [[warrior]]s went, revered by the elders of her tribe, called the [[Tro'faroom]]. [[Leela's mother]] described it to her as a cavern in the very depths of the forest, where the ancient founders of the Sevateem had buried the remains of their first and most noble warriors. After every [[battle]] lost or won, her forefathers would take a symbol of the battle, like a [[skull]], or an enemy [[weapon]] or a severed limb, and supposedly the room had become so full of the spirits of the dead the forest around would ring with their howling. When Leela went there however, it was just a cave full of bones and dirt, with one metal sign simply with the words "Trophy Room". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Catalyst (audio story)|The Catalyst]]'')

| Centuries after the Doctor's original visit, he returned to the planet. With Leela's help, he escaped the Sevateem's attempts to kill him, restored Xoanon's sanity, and reunited the two tribes. He then left with Leela. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Face of Evil (TV story)|The Face of Evil]]'')
