The '''[[Toclafane]] invasion''' was [[Time war|temporal]] [[war]] on [[Earth]] in the early [[21st century]] by {{Simm}}, but, due to the actions of the [[Tenth Doctor]], [[Martha Jones]] and [[Jack Harkness]], the invasion never took place and only a few actually remembered it happening. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Last of the Time Lords (TV story)}})
The '''[[Toclafane]] invasion''' would have occured in the early [[21st century]] on [[Earth]], but due to the actions of the [[Tenth Doctor]], [[Martha Jones]] and [[Jack Harkness]], the invasion never took place. (see [[The Year that Never Happened]])


== Origins ==
== Origins ==
The origins of the [[Toclafane]] Invasion lay in the [[Tenth Doctor]] and [[Martha Jones]] refueling the Tardis with energy from the [[Cardiff rift]]. [[Jack Harkness]] spotted the TARDIS and jumped on it, sending it to the year [[100,000,000,000,000]]. There the last humans were preparing to board a ship that would take them to [[Utopia (planet)|Utopia]]. Martha, the Doctor and Jack went to the base where the ship was being built. They met [[Yana]] and [[Chantho]] who were going to stay behind because they could only activate the ship from the ground.
The origins of the [[Toclafane]] Invasion lay in the last of [[human]]ity at the [[end of the universe]] in the year [[100000000000000|100,000,000,000,000]] trying to find a way to survive. They eventually tried to reach [[Utopia (Utopia)|Utopia]]. With [[Martha Jones|Martha]], the [[Tenth Doctor]] and [[Jack Harkness|Jack]]'s help, the scientists [[Yana]] and [[Chantho]] were able to activate the [[Utopia Project rocket|rocket]] to send the humans to Utopia.
 
The last humans boarded the ship and guards for the project brought the TARDIS back to the base, but the rocket needed to lift off. Jack Harkness went into a room and lifted canisters that helped let the ship go into space. Martha was talking to Yana and Chantho about the Doctor. While they were listening about Jack and The Doctor, Yana started to hear drumming.
 
Yana opened a watch that was actually a Chameleon Arc. He discovered that he was the Master. Martha told the Doctor and Jack but it was too late, as Yana had killed Chantho and stolen the TARDIS. The Doctor reached the room and locked it to the last place where the TARDIS went: Cardiff [[2007]]. The Futurekind broke into the base and started to reach the room where the trio were. Luckily Jack, Martha and the Doctor used a Vortex Manipulator and reached 21st century Earth. ([[DW]]: ''[[Utopia (TV story)|Utopia]]'' / ''[[The Sound of Drums]]'')
 
==The Election==
[[The Master (Harold Saxon)|The Master]] on the day where the Trio arrived was elected Prime Minister of the [[United Kingdom]] under the name of Harold Saxon. He had married and ran for Prime Minister since the Downfall of [[Harriet Jones]]. Martha contacted her family to make sure they were safe. Martha's parents were being watched by an agent hired by "Saxon" called [[Dexter|Miss Dexter]].

Martha discovered that her TV had a bomb on the back of it and it detonated. Martha, Jack and the Doctor all ran out and they drove to her [[Francine Jones|mother's]] house. She phoned her [[Tish Jones|sister]] on the way but she was taken by Government Agents and her [[Leo Jones|brother]] was told to take his family and go into hiding. Clive and Francine were later arrested.  


The Doctor, Martha and Jack later found a way onto the ''[[Valiant (aircraft carrier)|Valiant]]'' and found out that at 8.02am the [[Toclafane]] were going to invade. They witnessed [[Arthur Coleman Winters|President Winters]] get killed by a Toclafane and the Doctor get hit by the Master's [[laser screwdriver]]. The Doctor aged 900 years in human form. And Jack kept getting killed repeatedly.
The last of humanity boarded the ship and were sent away. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Utopia (TV story)}}) They soon realised there were no "diamonds" and cannibalised their bodies into the [[Toclafane]], becoming childlike in order to survive, though it didn't work since the universe was still collapsing around them.

Martha then teleported to Earth using Jack's vortex manipulator and witnessed millions of Toclafane wreck havoc. ([[DW]]: [[The Sound of Drums]])

==[[The Year That Never Was]] ==
== The year that never was ==
[[Martha Jones]] spent the year in between May [[2008]] and May [[2009]] traveling the world. Alien races and invaders did not go to the planet due to the fact that the human slaves where building missiles that would destroy them. On aboard the Valiant, Francine and Clive Jones were slaves of the Master as well as their daughter Tish. Jack Harkness was chained up in the engine room, and as for the Doctor he remained on the ship living inside a tent and forced to watch whatever the Master did.
[[File:The toclafane emerge.jpg|thumb|left|The Toclafane emerge. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Sound of Drums (TV story)}})]]
One year later, the Master planned to launch the entire Toclafane fleet towards the universe itself, as he had plans to rule the entire universe and create a [[New Time Lord Empire]]. Martha travelled to London to stop him, but she was caught by the Master and taken aboard the ''[[Valiant (aircraft carrier)|Valiant]]'', who had been aware of her presence. In fact, she had tricked Professor [[Alison Docherty]] into revealing her location while she told a story that would make all of humanity say "Doctor" at one moment in time. The Doctor spent the year psychically tuning himself into the [[Archangel Network]] of satellites, and his youth was restored. [[Jack Harkness]] destroyed the paradox machine with an assault rifle. Time reversed to the moment of the paradox machine's activation, just after the US President was killed and just before the Toclafane arrived, and everyone forgot except for those aboard the ''Valiant''. The only remaining impact of their invasion was the death of the president and the mental instability it inflicted on the Jones family. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Last of the Time Lords (TV story)}})


Martha met with Tom Miligan, a doctor who was seeking to repel the Toclafane, and they travelled to Professor Allison Docerty's lab and figured out a way to take a Toclafane hostage in order to discover the species' true identity. Upon capturing a Toclafane and opening up its armoured shell, they discovered that the Toclafane where the humans from the year One Hundred Trillion and the Toclafane that Martha captured had the memories of [[Creet]], a young boy from planet [[Malcassairo]] whom Martha had met and liked. The Toclafane said that the legends had lied to them; that there were no diamond-skies in Utopia, only "darkness, the never-ending darkness" and then out of despair the humans cannibalized themselves, and integrated themselves into armoured shells, becoming the Toclafane, and travelled with the Master to a void between dimensions, where they would ultimately invade Earth in 2008. When Tom Milligan asked why the Toclafane were slaughtering humanity, as humans and Toclafane were one and the same, the Toclafane sniggered and said "Cos it's fun." Tom, horrified, shot the Toclafane.
== Aftermath ==
While the invasion proper never occurred, the incident concerning the murder of President [[Arthur Winters]] at the hands of the [[Toclafane]] was reported as an invasion by [[Trinity Wells]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Driving Miss Wells (audio story)|Driving Miss Wells]]'') Subsequently, {{Simm|n=Harold Saxon}} completely disappeared from the perspective of the general public. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The End of Time (TV story)}})


The next morning, the Master was going to launch the entire Toclafane fleet towards the Universe itself, as he had plans to rule the entire Universe and create a new Empire. Martha travelled to London to stop him, but she was caught by the Master, who had been aware of her presence. Thus she was taken to the ''Valiant'' once again and made to watch as the Master prepared to commence his war. He revelled in his apparent victory, until Martha revealed her plan that when humanity thought the word "Doctor" the power would make the Doctor whole again. This occurred and Jack led the guards to the TARDIS just as the Toclafane were about to leave Earth to invade the cosmos. Jack Harkness destroyed the Toclafane guarding the TARDIS and destroyed the paradox machine successfully, and thus the Toclafane vanished from the skies of Earth and were teleported back to Utopia and thus they never invaded.

The Toclafane invasion was temporal war on Earth in the early 21st century by the Saxon Master, but, due to the actions of the Tenth Doctor, Martha Jones and Jack Harkness, the invasion never took place and only a few actually remembered it happening. (TV: Last of the Time Lords [+]Loading...["Last of the Time Lords (TV story)"])

Origins[[edit] | [edit source]]

The origins of the Toclafane Invasion lay in the last of humanity at the end of the universe in the year 100,000,000,000,000 trying to find a way to survive. They eventually tried to reach Utopia. With Martha, the Tenth Doctor and Jack's help, the scientists Yana and Chantho were able to activate the rocket to send the humans to Utopia.

The last of humanity boarded the ship and were sent away. (TV: Utopia [+]Loading...["Utopia (TV story)"]) They soon realised there were no "diamonds" and cannibalised their bodies into the Toclafane, becoming childlike in order to survive, though it didn't work since the universe was still collapsing around them. Sometime later the Saxon Master would return to offer them a chance to return to the universe and start again. (TV: Last of the Time Lords [+]Loading...["Last of the Time Lords (TV story)"])

The election and invasion[[edit] | [edit source]]

With the help of a paradox machine, The Saxon Master brought the Toclafane to Earth in the 21st century. He ordered them to kill President Arthur Winters, along with a tenth of the Toclafane's human ancestors. (TV: The Sound of Drums [+]Loading...["The Sound of Drums (TV story)"])
