'''New Earth''' was a [[planet]] colonised by the [[New Earth Empire]] in the [[far future]].


==Astronomical Data==
== Astronomical data ==
New Earth was located in the [[M87]] [[galaxy]]. It was especially colonized because it had had similar orbit, size, atmosphere and terrain to [[Earth]]. New Earth had at least two large moons or planet in its vicinity, visible in the sky. [[Apple-grass]] could also be found on the planet.
New Earth was located in the [[M87]] [[galaxy]], ([[TV]]: [[New Earth (TV story)|''New Earth'']]) 50,000 [[light-year]]s away from the original [[Earth]] ([[TV]]: ''[[Gridlock (TV story)|Gridlock]]'') according to the [[Tenth Doctor]]. It was chosen for colonisation because it had the same [[water]], [[diameter]], [[orbit]], and [[atmosphere]] and terrain as the original Earth.

==History==
== History ==
The planet was originally populated by the [[Catkind]], but when the planet Earth was destroyed in the year [[5,000,000,000]], the [[Human]]s relocated to the planet and named it New Earth. In the year [[5,000,000,023]] the [[Tenth Doctor|the Doctor]] and [[Rose Tyler]] visited New Earth because the Doctor had gotten a message from the [[Face of Boe]] to visit him. [[Cassandra O'Brien.Δ17]] spotted them with her [[Metal spider|Robotic Spider]]. She managed to override the lift at the hospital and made Rose descend to the level she was on. Cassandra took Rose's body and found out the secret that the [[Sisters of Plenitude]] were growing Humans to cure all viruses and diseases. The Doctor, with the help of Cassandra in Rose's body, released a medecine to cure them. The remaining Sisters were arrested by the [[New New York Police Department|NNYPD]] and Cassandra passed into her body of her clone, [[Chip]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[New Earth (TV story)|New Earth]]'')
After the destruction of [[Earth]] by the [[Sol|sun]]'s [[supernova|expansion]] in the year [[5000000000|5,000,000,000]], one group of [[posthuman]] survivors, called the [[Arcadian]]s, became nostalgic towards Earth and created a "big revival movement" to preserve old Earth's ways and humans, cats, dogs, birds and [[spiderkind]] moved to the planet. ([[WC]]: ''[[The Secret of Novice Hame (webcast)|The Secret of Novice Hame]]'') They recreated Earth on 28,000 Earth-like planets, including [[New Earth]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[New Earth (TV story)|New Earth]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Book of the War (novel)|The Book of the War]]'')  According to another account, this happened at least before [[4999999740|4,999,999,740]], when New Earth was the capital of the [[New Earth Empire]].

In [[5,000,000,053]], the Doctor and [[Martha Jones]] arrived in the undercity. Martha was kidnapped and trapped in [[the Motorway]], an underground traffic route that was supposed to take people to the surface. However, since above-ground was sealed off, the Motorway was essentially an endless circuit of traffic.

This topic might have a better name.

This page should be at New Earth considering it has appeared extensively in around a dozen sources compared to other New Earths that have appeared only once. This surely should be the primary topic.

Talk about it here.

This article needs to be updated.

Information from Tales from New Earth and The Secret of Novice Hame need to be added.

These omissions are so great that the article's factual accuracy has been compromised. Check out the discussion page and revision history for further clues about what needs to be updated in this article.

You may wish to consult New Earth (disambiguation) for other, similarly-named pages.

New Earth was a planet colonised by the New Earth Empire in the far future.

Astronomical data[[edit] | [edit source]]

New Earth was located in the M87 galaxy, (TV: New Earth) 50,000 light-years away from the original Earth (TV: Gridlock) according to the Tenth Doctor. It was chosen for colonisation because it had the same water, diameter, orbit, and atmosphere and terrain as the original Earth. (WC: The Secret of Novice Hame) New Earth had at least two large moons or planets in its vicinity, visible in the sky. Apple-grass grew on the planet.

Landmarks of New Earth included New New York, which was actually the fifteenth New York, and the New New York Hospital, a hospital run by the Sisters of Plenitude. (TV: New Earth) There was also a New Atlantic and a New New Jersey somewhere on the planet, as well as Fire Island. (TV: Gridlock)

History[[edit] | [edit source]]

After the destruction of Earth by the sun's expansion in the year 5,000,000,000, one group of posthuman survivors, called the Arcadians, became nostalgic towards Earth and created a "big revival movement" to preserve old Earth's ways and humans, cats, dogs, birds and spiderkind moved to the planet. (WC: The Secret of Novice Hame) They recreated Earth on 28,000 Earth-like planets, including New Earth. (TV: New Earth, PROSE: The Book of the War) According to another account, this happened at least before 4,999,999,740, when New Earth was the capital of the New Earth Empire. (COMIC: Agent Provocateur) Dorcas Lethebridge-Stuart was one of the founders of New Earth. (PROSE: Legacies)

In 5,000,000,012, Helen Clay started the Testimony Foundation, designed to save people from death. The Foundation would take people near death and implant their memories into glass bodies, allowing them to live as a glass person. (TV: Twice Upon a Time)

In 5,000,000,016, a declaration of independence was signed in the New United States on New Earth. (PROSE: Time Traveller's Diary)

In the year 5,000,000,023, the Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler visited the New New York Hospital on New Earth when the Doctor received a plea to go there on the psychic paper from the Face of Boe. After learning of the two's arrival, Cassandra O'Brien.Δ17 overrode the hospital lift and made Rose descend to the hospital basement, where she had been hiding out since the destruction of Earth. There, Cassandra took over Rose's body using a psychograft. After the Doctor and Cassandra discovered that the Sisters of Plenitude at the hospital were growing new humans to cure all viruses and diseases, Cassandra released some of these diseased humans onto the Sisters, and they in turn freed the others and began to attack the hospital. The Doctor, with the help of Cassandra in Rose's body, released a medicine to cure the humans. The remaining Sisters were arrested by the NNYPD and Cassandra passed into the body of her clone, Chip, before dying in the arms of her past self. (TV: New Earth)

At one point in 5,000,000,023, the Eleventh Doctor's TARDIS landed on New Earth with Amy Pond and Rory Williams. As this happened, the boundaries of time merged, resulting in a policeman, Roman soldier, Viking, an Ancient Greek, an Ancient Egyptian, a caveman, and a seal being present among a crowd of Catkind. Chip, Cassandra, and the Face of Boe were also present to witness this. (GRAPHIC: New Earth [+]Loading...["New Earth (illustration)"])

The undercity of New Earth. (TV: Gridlock)

In 5,000,000,029, a deadly, airborne virus mutated from an addictive mood drug and spread across New Earth. The New New York Undercity was sealed off to protect the surviving population, and New Earth was placed under a quarantine set to last one-hundred years. The virus subsequently wiped out the entire population of New Earth, save Novice Hame, the Face of Boe and those in the New New York Undercity, within seven minutes flat, and eventually perished itself.

In 5,000,000,053, the Tenth Doctor and Martha Jones arrived in the Undercity. Martha was kidnapped and trapped on the Motorway, an underground traffic route that was supposed to take people to the surface. Since above-ground was sealed off, the Motorway was essentially an endless circuit of traffic. At the bottom of the Motorway, sustained by the accumulating exhaust gases of the cars, were Macra, who would attack any car that they came across. Taken from the Undercity by Novice Hame, the Doctor met the Face of Boe one last time. Boe died by using his life energy to open the roof of the Motorway so that the population could live on the surface once more. (TV: Gridlock)

In that same year, Rose-the-Cat piloted the TARDIS to New Earth, where she caught a fish. (COMIC: A Rose by Any Other Name)

Hame would go on to become its Senator and then Vice President and later, Feline Imperator of the New Earth Order. At some point, suspecting that New Earth was, in fact, a complex trap, Hame travelled below New Earth's surface and discovered something that validated her concerns, though did not disclose it before her death. (WC: The Secret of Novice Hame)

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

New Earth appears in the online game Doctor In A Dash as the setting of Level 2 where, as with all levels, the Doctor's TARDIS (the player) races against a Dalek flying saucer, a Judoon rocket, and a Slitheen craft to find a Space-Time Manipulator. The cars of New New York act as obstacles to the ships.

New Earth was the base location for a series of levels in Worlds in Time, an online multi-player game featuring the Eleventh Doctor. The game can be considered a role-playing adventure due to the customisable nature of the playable companion, and thus is not considered a valid source by this wiki.

New Earth has the Tenth Doctor state that the planet is in the galaxy M87 (Messier 87), in reality approximately 55.3 million light years from Earth, however Gridlock subsequently has the Doctor claim New Earth is only 50 thousand light years away which would place it well within the bounds of the Milky Way Galaxy.
