The Shakri were supposed myths in Time Lord history, said to be "the pest controllers of the universe".
Biology[[edit] | [edit source]]
The hologram in a Shakri ship took the appearance of a bald, withered humanoid, but the Eleventh Doctor recognised the hologram as Shakri. (TV: The Power of Three)
Culture[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Shakri were led by "the Tally", though the Eleventh Doctor was unsure what the Tally was. It drove them to eliminate species that the Shakri considered pests. Seven was a significant number for the Shakri; they always travelled in groups of seven and their cubes counted down from seven. (TV: The Power of Three)
Technology[[edit] | [edit source]]
During their planned genocide of humanity, the Shakri relied on cubes, both for reconnaissance and attack. They were small black cubes, indestructible by human means. When activated, they had a wide variety of functions, from reconfiguration, mood-changing or just playing music. They were then changed to stop human hearts.
The Shakri also used seven ships in another dimension to coordinate the attack. These ships were connected via wormholes to seven locations on Earth, which they monitored with droids disguised as humans. They also had minions which looked human except for their grill mouths. (TV: The Power of Three)
History[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Doctor explained that the Time Lords were taught about the Shakri when they were young, but believed them to be legends. (TV: The Power of Three) Romana II knew of them as "characters in a nursery rhyme". (AUDIO: Babblesphere) They existed "in all of time, and none. [They] travel[led] alone and together". (TV: The Power of Three)
In the 2010s, the Shakri decided that humans needed to be destroyed before they could colonise space. They sent millions of inert Shakri cubes to Earth, then did nothing with them. After a year, humanity had gotten used to them and taken them into their lives. At this point, they were activated for 47 minutes, learning all they could about humanity. After counting down from seven, they then stopped the hearts of anyone close by. The Shakri planned to release a second wave of cubes to kill the remaining humans, but the Eleventh Doctor was able to reverse the effects so that the cubes instead restarted the victims' hearts. (TV: The Power of Three)
A Shakri ship came to Trenzalore, among many other species' envoys, when the Question made itself heard in the form of an untranslatable message. Like the others, it stayed in orbit, unable to bypass the shield the Papal Mainframe had put over the planet. By the end of the Siege of Trenzalore, all parties save for the Silence and the Daleks had retreated or been destroyed. (TV: The Time of the Doctor)
After the Vinvocci occupied Tivoli, the Shakri infiltrated them and outmanoeuvered them, managing to seize control of the planet from them officially on 17 September 2721. The Shakri ruled the planet for centuries, viewed as heroes by the Tivolians, but were "eradicated" on 17 November 2900 by the invading Drahvin. (PROSE: Time Traveller's Diary)
