Slitheen family

The Slitheen Family were a family of Raxacoricofallapatorian criminals. The Slitheen were rivals (and "cousins") with the Blathereen family, descendants of the Huspick Degenerate and cousins of the Rackateen Family.

History

21st century

2000s

The Slitheen were from Raxacoricofallapatorius orginally, until they were given with the death sentence should they return. Following this, in the year 2006 they disguised themselves as various Humans holding leadership positions and attempted to seize control of the UK government and attempted to start a nuclear war. Their ultimate aim was to turn the Earth into a huge nuclear reactor pile and sell its remains off as starship fuel. (DW: Aliens of London, World War Three)

Blon, one of their surviving members, managed to get herself elected as Mayor of Cardiff, and tried to abuse her position to attempt to blow up Earth by destroying a local nuclear reactor. The Cardiff rift would amplify the explosion where it would not only destroy Earth but enable her to escape the planet(DW: Boom Town)

Later, another branch of the family took over a building company called Coldfire and attempted to achieve the destruction of the Earth by shutting down the Sun. This group of Slitheen were eventually defeated by Sarah Jane Smith and her friends. Though Sarah did not mean to kill them, several ended up dead. Korst Gogg Thek Lutiven-Day Slitheen, a young Slitheen survived, but not his father. (SJA: Revenge of the Slitheen) He later teamed up with two other adult Slitheen to seek revenge and make the Moon crash into Earth. (SJA: The Lost Boy) Torchwood 3 knew of at least one of these events. (SJA: The Stolen Earth)

Later 21st century

A group of Slitheen returned to Earth in the late 21st century with hostile intentions but went home after a short time. (TDA: Snowglobe 7)

Post-21st century

After these attempts, their fortunes started to wane. They were put out of business by the Blathereen, since they were cheaper and more effective. In the year 2501, Ecktosca and Dram discovered the activities going on in Justicia and attempted to take over the operations. They were captured, but later escaped with the help of the Doctor. After the death of Don Arco, they stole the surviving warp-hole technology to rebuild their fortune. (NDA: The Monsters Inside)
