History[[edit] | [edit source]]
Hailing from one of the planets in the Arcturus system, the Arcturians abandoned their planet due to a belief that their atmosphere was in the process of thinning due to the immense gravity of their star, a process they claimed would take a million years. To avoid their fate, the Arcturians set out across the galaxy to find a new home, setting their sights on the planet Earth, in the Sol system. Many generations into their journey, they encountered the Second Doctor, Polly Wright and Ben Jackson. Learning of their plan, the Doctor moved them into the Ninth Dimension, so that they could find a home there instead of the inevitable conflict with Earth.
