The Racnoss invasion of Earth was an attempted invasion of Earth on 24 December 2007 by the Racnoss. (TV: The Runaway Bride)
History[[edit] | [edit source]]
Origins[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Racnoss were almost wiped out by the Fledgling Empires (TV: The Runaway Bride) and the Time Lords in the Racnoss Wars (AUDIO: Empire of the Racnoss) over 4.6 billion years BC. Nearly all of the survivors of the race escaped in their spacecraft, around which the planet Earth would later form. (TV: The Runaway Bride) River Song later claimed they were hiding from the Kotturuh. (PROSE: The Guide to the Dark Times) The Empress of the Racnoss stayed in her Webstar, but also went into hibernation at the edge of the universe until she decided to search for her young. (TV: The Runaway Bride)
Invasion[[edit] | [edit source]]
The invasion was launched on Christmas Day, but it was stopped by the Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble. (TV: The Runaway Bride)
Aftermath[[edit] | [edit source]]
UNIT tended to the Torchwood base following the invasion, helping to recover "the body of the Racnoss". (PROSE: UNIT History) Jack Harkness recalled that The Saxon Master first came to prominence when he had the Racnoss shot down, complimenting the Doctor on "nice work".
Following his election as British Prime Minister in 2008, the Master cited the "the Christmas star that came to kill" as an example of an alien event which the British government failed to disclose to the public. (TV: The Sounds of Drums)
As a result of the Webstar's Christmas 2007 attack, combined with the appearance of the Sycorax spaceship above London on the Christmas before, London was deserted for Christmas in 2008. Two holdouts were Wilfred Mott and Queen Elizabeth II. (TV: Voyage of the Damned)
A woman, who Maxwell Grey referred to as "Elaine", witnessed the Webstar. By the early 2020s, she remained adamant that it was shot down by the British military, but - by this time - no publicly available records backed-up her story. Grey included it as an example of the Mandela Effect. (PROSE: The Mandela Effect, Or Monsters on the Streets of London)
In a parallel world[[edit] | [edit source]]
In a parallel world in which Donna Noble never met the Doctor, and so was not present to convince him to flee after defeating the Empress of the Racnoss, he drowned when the Thames was drained into the abandoned Torchwood base, resulting in his death without regeneration. His body was retrieved by UNIT soldiers and the Doctor's TARDIS was salvaged from under the Thames, later being sent to a UNIT base in Leeds. (TV: Turn Left)
