Arcturans were a species from the planet Arcturus which resembled humanoid skulls with tendrils.

Technology

In order to survive off their own planet, the Arcturans required life support systems. The most vital system was the helium regenerator. (TV: The Curse of Peladon) These systems would range from simple boxes with a necessary equipment to advanced systems capable of travelling and surviving nearly anywhere. (PROSE: The Doctor Trap)

Culture

Though the Arcturans knew of the Doctor, records of him were scarce.(PROSE: The Doctor Trap) They were known for being profit-obsessed and self-serving. (PROSE: Interference - Book One) The Arcturans were also known to make tea. (PROSE: Lucifer Rising) During the early 23rd century, the Arcturans were willing but suspicious traders with humans. (PROSE: The Janus Conjunction) Their language was called Arcturan. (AUDIO: The Bride of Peladon)

History

The Arcturan Treaty of 2085 was once said to be the first official instrument of peaceful contact between humanity and aliens. (PROSE: The Dying Days)

At some point after settling Cluut-ett-Pictar, the planet was attacked by an Arcturan strike-force. (PROSE: GodEngine)

In 3885, Peladon was attempting entry into the Galactic Federation. In the original timeline, the Arcturan delegate Arcturus killed Alpha Centauri and blamed the Ice Warriors, sending the Federation into chaos. (PROSE: Legacy) The Time Lords intervened and sent in the Third Doctor, who was chosen as the target and saved by Ssorg. (TV: The Curse of Peladon)
