Description
Tara is a planet resembling 19th century Earth, with lush green fields, attractive landscapes and Medieval type forests.
Species of Tara
Tara was a planet colonized by Humans who chose to pattern their lifestyles on late medieval customs, with a rigid monarchical hierarchy. The Taran nobility took pride in their scientific and mechanical ignorance, leaving such matters to the 'peasants'.
The Tarans were known as master android-makers, although the work was only carried out by the lesser orders. (DW: The Androids of Tara)
History
Centuries before the arrival of the Doctor and Romana, a plague wiped out 90% of the Tara's population. During this time of strife, the peasants were largely abandoned by the ruling class, and manufactured large numbers of androids to cope with the labour shortage.
