The Final Quest was a comic story published by Marvel Comics. It was written by Steve Moore.

Summary

The Sontaran warrior Katsu is haunted by his dreams of dying without honour and failing to win against the alien Levanaxus on the dead world of Keth. Searching for the ultimate weapon, he arrives on Aleph-777, now a world of idyllic peace, where he demands collection of the weapon. Pursuing an escape craft to Omega-666, he captures and claims the ultimate weapon, a flask of deadly Omega Green Plague, with no antidote known to exist anywhere in the galaxy, which he is tricked into opening by one of the peace-loving inhabitants of Aleph-777, away from danger to anyone else.

Sontaran stories

For the purposes of this list, a "Sontaran story" is one in which one living, authentic Sontaran plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. For this reason, stories such as The Halloween Apocalypse and Survivors of the Flux are not counted due to the Sontarans' appearance being defined by their importance to following stories. Stories like The End of Time and The Time of the Doctor are also not included due to the Sontarans' appearance being no consequence to the plot of the story. Stories featuring Strax of the Paternoster Gang are only included on the Paternoster Gang story template.
