Biography
When the Racnoss empire was destroyed by the Gallifreyans over 4.6 billion years ago, the Empress was the only Racnoss to survive and not hibernate in the Earth's core. Instead, she thrived in her ship, the Webstar, orbiting Earth for billions of years until the Torchwood Institute developed Huon particles with which she could revive her race.
The Empress was encountered by the Doctor on Christmas Day 2007, in a secret location under the Thames Barrier, trying to awaken her long-dead race, whom she called her children, with the Huon energy within the bodies of Donna Noble and Lance Bennett , who had been fed the energy through the medium of drinks, coffee and water respectively. Lance was originally affiliated with the Empress. However, following the disappearance of Donna after being taken by the Doctor, she sent Lance to the centre of the Earth where the Racnoss spaceship was. There the Huon particles awoke the Racnoss who then proceeded to feast on Lance.
Her plans to revive the Racnoss were foiled by the Doctor. He used controls stolen from a Robot Santa to stop the Santas shooting him and set bombs, disguised as baubles from a Robotic Christmas Tree, flying around the secret room. The bombs detonated, crashing into pipes, letting the Thames flood into the room and surrounding the Empress with fire, and finally drowning the Racnoss with the Thames water.
The Empress transmatted up to her Webstar and vowed revenge on the Doctor and all of planet Earth by scorching it. However the lack of Huon energy left the Webstar defenceless and allowed the British Army to destroy it and the Empress. The order to destroy the Webstar apparently came from Harold Saxon. (DW: The Runaway Bride)
