Uses[[edit] | [edit source]]
Twelve original War TARDISes were created for the Great and Terrible Wars against the Vampire Mutations early in Gallifreyan history. They were intended as an expensive, short-term measure, but with their self-preservation instinct, they influenced their handlers to maintain the fleet in case of future conflict. After a millennium, the TARDISes were finally used again in the Krikkit War, during which the first one was lost and the other eleven were put back into storage. Foreseeing the possibility of its kind being decommissioned, this lost War TARDIS influenced its owner, Battle Cardinal Melia, during the peace talks after the Krikkit War to set in motion a series of event that would lead to a second Krikkit War and the revival of its kin, using a supercomputer called Hactar. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Krikkitmen [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Krikkitmen (novelisation)"])
"Military TARDISes" were sent to collect the Sixth Doctor from Etarho in a displaced timeline. (AUDIO: Trial of the Valeyard [+]Loading...["Trial of the Valeyard (audio story)"])
House Mirraflex used 91-form variations in their assault on the City of the Saved. (PROSE: The Book of the War [+]Loading...["The Book of the War (novel)"])
When the Master came under attack by the Divine Host of the Chronovores, the Quantum Archangel altered reality and changed his TARDIS into a "Type 94" War TARDIS, armed with Klypstrømic warheads, an artron cannon, a vortex lance, and Earthshock bombs. (PROSE: The Quantum Archangel [+]Loading...["The Quantum Archangel (novel)"])
The General flew a Type 94 to the Gates of Elysium during the Last Great Time War. Type 91s were part of his strike force. He used the TARDIS to place a tractor beam over the Doctor's TARDIS and save him from the Nightmare Child. (PROSE: The Third Wise Man [+]Loading...["The Third Wise Man (short story)"])
