An [[Earth]]-like '''planet''' had at least part of its surface covered in dense [[jungle]]. The [[Horda]] were one of the native life forms.
 
Long before Leela was expelled from the tribe of the [[Sevateem]] for heresy, she went to an area where only the mightiest of [[warrior|warriors]] went, revered by the elders of her tribe, called The [[Tro'faroom]]. [[Leela's mother]] described it to her as a cavern in the very depths of the forest, where the ancient founders of the Sevateem had buried the remains of their first and most noble warriors. After every [[battle]] lost or won, her forefathers would take a symbol of the battle, like a [[skull]], or an enemy [[weapon]] or a severed limb,  and supposedly the room had become so full of the spirits of the dead the forest around would ring with their howling. When Leela went there however, it was just a cave full of bones and dirt, with one metal sign simply with the words "Trophy Room". ([[AUDIO]]: [[The Catalyst (audio story)|''The Catalyst'']])
 
In the [[far future]], the planet was colonised by the [[Mordee expedition]]. Shortly after they arrived, the [[Fourth Doctor]] visited and assisted them in repairing their computer, [[Xoanon]]. Centuries after his original visit, the Doctor returned to the planet, only to find that the [[Mordee (people)|Mordee]] had split into two groups, the [[Sevateem]] and the [[Tesh]], both of whom worshipped Xoanon, who had gone mad from the Doctor's efforts to help. After restoring Xoanon's sanity and reuniting the two tribes, the Doctor left, accompanied by the Sevateem warrior [[Leela]] whom he had befriended, and who had helped him survive the Sevateem's attempts to kill him because of a case of mistaken identity.

The planet had [[Giant bird (The Time Vampire)|giant jungle birds]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Time Vampire (audio story)|The Time Vampire]]'') no seasons, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Child (audio story)|The Child]]'') and [[cave]] [[frog]]s.

Leela once compared the [[Congo]] in [[Africa|Central Africa]] to her planet. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Ghosts of Gralstead (audio story)|The Ghosts of Gralstead]]'') The jungle planet [[Garros]] also reminded her of her home planet. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Zygon Hunt (audio story)|Zygon Hunt]]'')
 
Leela once told [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|the Brigadier]] that her planet either had no name, or the Doctor never told her its name. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Revisionists (audio story)|The Revisionists]]'') A version of [[Leela (Disassembled)|Leela]] from an [[alternate timeline]] referred to the colony world she came from as Mordee.
