==History==
== Biography ==
Androvax's life before his planet's destruction is unknown. He left to travel the stars and returned to find his race extinct after their sun was extinguished. This made him believe the truth of the universe was destruction so he wanted to teach other species the way of the universe. He became the highest on the [[Judoon]]'s most wanted list, being wanted in five [[galaxy|galaxies]] for twelve counts of global destruction.
Androvax left his planet to travel the stars and returned to find his race extinct after their [[star|sun]] was extinguished. Distraught over the loss of his world, he grew jealous of other species, and sought to destroy their [[planet]]s, teaching them what he had come to believe: that the truth of the universe was destruction.

He was eventually caught by Captain [[Tybo]], but during transport the ship crashed, allowing Androvax to escape. He knocked out Tybo and escaped, taking over the body of a young girl. However, when [[Sarah Jane Smith]] detected him he revealed himself, stunned [[Clyde Langer|Clyde]] and entered her body instead. He then returned to her home in Sarah's body and instructed [[Mr Smith]] to self destruct, before proceeding to the [[Genetec Systems]] and instructing the microscopic [[nanoform]]s to build him a ship.

Androvax left his planet to travel the stars and returned to find his race extinct after their sun was extinguished. Distraught over the loss of his world, he grew jealous of other species, and sought to destroy their planets, teaching them what he had come to believe: that the truth of the universe was destruction. He became the highest on the Judoon's most wanted list, being wanted in five galaxies for twelve counts of global destruction. (TV: Prisoner of the Judoon) He was caught on the planet Ordos where he was attempting to take the vormelimutant fish, who ran the lewian galactic power network. (WC: Alien File: Androvax)

Captain Tybo put him into his prison ship, but during transport the ship crashed on Earth, allowing Androvax to escape. He knocked out Tybo and escaped, taking over the body of a young girl.

He then returned to her home in Sarah Jane's body and instructed Mr Smith to self destruct, before proceeding to the Genetec Systems and instructing the microscopic nanoforms to build him a ship.

Androvax was finally caught when Luke threatened to sabotage the ship, and ultimately stopped the Nanoforms from destroying the planet. Androvax was then sentenced to execution. (TV: Prisoner of the Judoon)

At Androvax's trial, he was told that he wasn't the last of the Veil, but instead there were 100 Veil in a hyperdimensional vault on Earth.
