2021

When the energy crisis worsened in 2021, Damien Stephens formed the GlobeSphere Corporation and took over the business. He had vast solar panel fields built on the Moon, which were intended to channel energy directly to Earth. (AUDIO: Energy of the Daleks)

At this time, the Pan-US Corps had W stations in outer space, and, according to the Seventh Doctor, China "pretty much [ran] the Moon". Europe was also a major superpower in 2021, and sought to partake in the colonisation of the Solar System which was due to follow. The United Kingdom, however, lacked a space programme. The C-Programme, involving Cyber-conversion, was their solution to this. (AUDIO: The Harvest)

On Dalek Day, which occurred before or during 2020, a Dalek vowed that its kind would return and attack Earth on the first of January, 2021. (AUDIO: Incoming Transmission) Incidentally, January would see the occurrence of the 2021 Dalek civil war. (TV: Revolution of the Daleks)

After their separation in the previous year, (TV: The Timeless Children) Yasmin Khan resumed her travels with the Thirteenth Doctor, following Ryan Sinclair and Graham O'Brien's decision to retire from the TARDIS team. (TV: Revolution of the Daleks) Yaz and the Doctor would go on to have various adventures as a duo before being joined by Dan Lewis later in the year. (TV: The Halloween Apocalypse)
