Raxacoricofallapatorius was the fifth Russell T Davies story in Monsters and Villains, later retitled The Slitheen when it was reprinted in The Ultimate Monster Guide. Presented as an entry in Jane's Book of Planets, it gave a history of the Slitheen family.

Summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

Raxacoricofallapatorius is predominantly a peaceful planet populated by the strictly ordered and intellectual society of Raxacoricofallapatorians. However, every paradise has its serpent, and here it is the Family Slitheen. The family grew its criminal empire over centuries, slowly infiltrating the plantery government to control distribution of the spice Offich. Exposed in the Great Purge of Yon:556, the entire family, numbering over 550 members, were arrested and many fled offworld to escape the painful executions mandated by Raxacoricofallapatorian law.

The Slitheen are now penniless and scattered across the off-world archipelagos, making desperate attempts at gaining money. Early involvement in drug-running, arms-dealing, and chizzle-waxing was policed by the Wrarth Warriors, the local star-system's police. Someday, the Slitheen are determined to return home.
