'''Planet Fourteen''' was the location of an encounter between [[the Doctor]] and the [[Cybermen]]. The [[Cyber-Planner]] told [[Tobias Vaughn]] that the [[Cybermen]] had seen [[the Doctor]] on Planet Fourteen prior to their invasion of earth circa [[1979]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Invasion]]'')

It is believed that Planet Fourteen is or was in the [[Sol]] star system. The name refers to a time when there were at least fourteen planets in the solar system.
