Planet of the Rani was the two hundred and fifth story in Big Finish's monthly range. It was written by Marc Platt and featured Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor, Miranda Raison as Constance Clarke and Siobhan Redmond as the Rani.
Publisher's summary
Miasimia Goria was a quiet planet, an ancient world of bucolic tranquility... until the Rani arrived with ideas of her own.
She planned to create a race of new gods... gods that she could keep on her leash, but those plans went horribly wrong.
Now, she languishes in the high security of Teccaurora Penitentiary, consigned there by her arch enemy and old student colleague, the Doctor.
But the Rani, always resourceful, ever calculating, knows things about the Doctor's past that he would rather forget. She wants revenge, even if it takes a hundred years... and then she has other unfinished business.
The ruins of Miasimia Goria await...
Plot
Part one
Constance looks through the Doctor's emails and urges him to answer important ones from Teccaurora Penitentiary regarding the Rani's parole hearing. Arriving at Teccaurora, they find the sedated prisoners wired up to machines and meet the precognitive Miasimia Gorian prisoner Pazmi before they are found by guards and learn from Deputy Governor Montain that they are forty-seven years late; the Rani has since been released and become the governor through manipulation and murder.
The Rani has Montain initiate the Transfer Program and takes the Doctor and Constance to the Pathfinder Suite where she has created a loopback time field which throws things into the past. She has the Doctor strapped into the Pathfinder to serve as the navigator to create a tachyon portal to Miasimia Goria and Constance locked up and wired up to a machine, but Pazmi frees her and they go after the Rani. Using temporal energy from the nine-hundred inmates' minds and a sample of the Ablative created by the Doctor at the Academy, the Rani opens a portal and takes Constance with her when she attacks.
