The TL dating system was how the Time Lords dated events in the Great Time Line. (PROSE: The Cyber Files [+]Loading...["The Cyber Files (novel)"]) The year 0 TL was the date of the Eye of Harmony's sealing. (PROSE: A Sourcebook for Field Agents [+]Loading...["A Sourcebook for Field Agents (novel)"])
Accounts relating to it seemed to hold that Gallifreyan history was roughly contemporaneous with humanity, with the Doctor's native era existing a number of centuries beyond the 21st century of Earth. This stood in contrast (PROSE: A Sourcebook for Field Agents [+]Loading...["A Sourcebook for Field Agents (novel)"]) to other accounts' depiction of Gallifreyan history as existing in the distant past relative to Earth. (PROSE: The Crystal Bucephalus [+]Loading...["The Crystal Bucephalus (novel)"], Goth Opera [+]Loading...["Goth Opera (novel)"], etc.)
Years in the TL dating system passed at the same rate as those on Earth; (PROSE: A Sourcebook for Field Agents [+]Loading...["A Sourcebook for Field Agents (novel)"]) indeed, in one state of reality, Gallifrey had the same length of day and year as Earth due to the planets being the same distance from the same type of sun. (PROSE: The Infinity Doctors [+]Loading...["The Infinity Doctors (novel)"])
Uses
Please help by adding some more information.
The dating system was used in various Celestial Intervention Agency documents, including The Dalek Problem, a historical analysis of the Daleks by Qualen. (PROSE: The Dalek Problem [+]Loading...["The Dalek Problem (novel)"])
By one account, the Second Doctor's TARDIS console displayed years in this dating system. (GAME: The Warrior's Code)

68th millennium
- Circa 67,300 TL - The Kaled/Thal civil war, having escalated into the use of primitive, but effective, uranium fission devices, destroys most of the planet's habitations. Skarosian civilization is nearly destroyed, with the remnants of the two cultures reduced to a pre-atomic level of warfare through lack of nuclear hardware or the sophisticated means to manufacture it. The war continued with more conventional weapons, though the planet itself was so poisoned with radiation that uncontrolled and mostly lethal mutations were widespread among the first post-nuclear generation. (PROSE: The Dalek Problem [+]Loading...["The Dalek Problem (novel)"]) Also this year, the Anar invent primitive hyperdrive technology.

(PROSE: "Time Line of the Universe" [+]Part of A Sourcebook for Field Agents, Loading...{"namedep":"Time Line of the Universe","1":"A Sourcebook for Field Agents (novel)"}) In the original timeline of Skaro, the Thals used a rocket bomb to attack the last Kaled city, leading to a series of events in which the Daleks emerged victorious and went on to eventually threaten Gallifrey itself and possibly conquer the universe. (PROSE: The Dalek Problem [+]Loading...["The Dalek Problem (novel)"])
- 67,573 TL - Mondas makes contact with Telos, converting it into a planet of Cybermen. (PROSE: "Time Line of the Universe" [+]Part of A Sourcebook for Field Agents, Loading...{"namedep":"Time Line of the Universe","1":"A Sourcebook for Field Agents (novel)"}) Another source dates a slightly different version of this event to 21,180 TL.

- 67,900 TL - The Daleks who were buried under-ground returned to the surface to recapture Skaro from the Thals, though Davros remained lost in a deeper vault in suspended animation. The remnants of Thal technological civilization were destroyed, and the survivors returned to a barbaric existence in the deep wilderness areas of the planet. In the next 1,500 years, the Daleks were able to recover their own Kaled-spawned technology to the levels that existed before the Kaled/Thal atomic war, using atomic technology to launch orbital spacecraft and explorations of the worlds of the Skaro system. (PROSE: The Dalek Problem [+]Loading...["The Dalek Problem (novel)"])
- 68,500 TL - The development of hyperdrive leads to a major disagreement between two factions among the Daleks. The Expansionist Daleks decided to use the new hyperspace ships to expand their dominion to the stars. The Exterminator Daleks elected to remain on Skaro to continue hunting down their the Thals. The Exterminators became clumsy and careless, finding no real challenge in combating the scattered and disorganized Thal encampments. The Expansionists, however, were hardened by their life of conquest and became even more cunning and ruthless. (PROSE: The Dalek Problem [+]Loading...["The Dalek Problem (novel)"])
69th millennium
- 68,633 TL - A Dalek expedition discovered valuable metal deposits on Temporal Nexus Point Tliir and conquered the planet, enslaving the native Twiil race. This dangerous situation was discovered by CIA operatives assigned to watch this Temporal Nexus Point and reported to the CIA in basetime 101,193 TL.
- 68,639 TL - A Twiil colony world in the same solar system as Tliir counterattacked against the Daleks. Not expecting armed resistance from space, the Daleks were defeated. Time Lady Loribetcazistanopilain, having convinced the Council not to directly intervene against the Daleks, acts as adviser to the colonial forces. As a result, the Tliir were liberated in 68,641 TL after only six years of Dalek rule and a disastrous two-year war. (PROSE: The Dalek Problem [+]Loading...["The Dalek Problem (novel)"])

The Thals began adapting captured Dalek technology for their own uses, and, by 73,000 TL, they had an interstellar fleet of their own, quickly catching up with the Daleks in war capability. (PROSE: The Dalek Problem [+]Loading...["The Dalek Problem (novel)"]) This event was also dated to 73,314 TL.

Once again, Movelian and Dalek forces got in each other's way and were both defeated. Davros was captured by the humans and returned to the human Federation for trial. The Dalek creator stood trial, after which he was imprisoned in suspended animation aboard a special space station. (PROSE: The Dalek Problem [+]Loading...["The Dalek Problem (novel)"])

Beyond the Gallifreyan Present
By accounts following the TL time scale, "Gallifreyan present" was an immoveable temporal barrier to TARDIS technology due to the principles of Absolute Time.

Behind the scenes
Gallifrey's TL relates to Earth's BC/AD dating system using the following mathematic formulas
- When TL is greater than or equal to 70,709: A.D. = TL — 70,708, TL = A.D. + 70,708
- When TL is less than 70,709: B.C. = 70,709 — TL, TL = 70,709 — B.C.
- This is explained by saying, "The year 100,000 TL is 29,292 A.D. (100,000 — 70,708 = 29,292). The year 70,708 TL is 1 B.C (70,709 — 70,708 = 1 B.C.), and the year —1,000 TL is 71,709 B.C. (70,709 — (71,000) = 71,709)." (REF: The Cybermen)
