Kaplan Assassinated! was a short story printed in TV Century 21 that contained elements from the Doctor Who universe. Framed as the front page of an in-universe periodical, it was not related to The Daleks with the titular article instead making reference to the Fireball XL5 comic story Assassination!, a part of a multi-series crossover with the DWU. A smaller piece also tied-in with the instalment of Lady Penelope within the issue, another part of the crossover event.
Summary

Characters
Worldbuilding
- The Kaplan is the leader of the Astrans and was shot down by an unknown gunman during a state drive through Unity City.
- This Kaplan had been leader of the Astran Empire for twenty-seven years and had been returned to office at the last elections in 2061 by a ninety percent poll.
- The office of Kaplan is automatically transferred to the Kaplan Minus, a young, ambitious politician who rode to office on the Kaplan's bandwagon.
- There are fears of repercussions and Space War seems certain unless the killers are caught.
- TV 21's editor wrote the article on the death of the Kaplan.
