It was used to generate [[orbital energy]], which allowed the ship to move. It could be also used for fuel by other [[space-time vessel]]s.

On [[Gallifrey (Forever)|an alternative Gallifrey]], there was a Zeiton-7 field on which the [[slave]]s settled after their liberation.

Once, when the [[Second Doctor]] and [[Jamie]] were travelling, the [[TARDIS|Time Rotor]] was damaged and the TARDIS was stranded in London 1968.

When the Doctor touched the [[Necronomicon]], given to Jamie by {{Delgado|n=Professor Thascalos}}, the TARDIS took off and landed on the [[Archon (The Nameless City)|Archon]] homeworld. There, the Doctor and Jamie travelled to the [[Nameless City]], which was built "over a pool of gold, surrounded by canals of mercury and Zeiton-7".
