The Year that Never Was was a year which never occured for a majority of the population of Earth but was remembered by a few people who witnessed it. It was set betweeen May 2008 and 2009, and was when the new Time Lord Empire was being created on Earth by the Master.
Occupation of Earth
During this year the Master had enslaved the human race with the intention of using them to build weapons in preparation for war against the rest of the universe. The Master wished to turn Earth into New Gallifrey and create an empire stretching across the universe lasting one hundred trillion years. This was done by the use of the TARDIS, which he turned into a paradox machine, creating a temporal paradox between the End of the Universe and the last place the TARDIS landed. This was due to the Doctor fusing the cordinates on the TARDIS so he would know where to find the Master.
Resistance
Head of the resistance was Martha Jones who became renowned amoung the human race for travelling across the world and evading capture from the Master. One of the more notable escapes was the flight from Japan. She had escaped the Valiant using the vortex manipulator given to her by Jack Harkness and witnessed the slaughter of one tenth of the population of Earth. (DW: The Sound of Drums)
Many legands developed around Martha Jones and the purpose for her travelling the world. The most common belief held by people was that she travelled across the world in search of a weapon. Another belief held by the people was that Martha Jones was the only one who could kill the Master.
Members of the resistance include Tom Milligan, Leo Jones (Martha's brother) and Professor Alison Docherty, who betrayed Martha to the Master in return for information about her son.
A small resistance also existed on the Master's headquaters, the Valiant, headed by the Doctor. Members of this resistance included Francine Jones, Clive Jones, Tish Jones and Jack Harkness.
Eve of War
The Eve of War was the day before the Master planned to go to war against the rest of the universe. He chose this day to transmit a warning to Martha. He used his laser screwdriver to age the Doctor to is actual age (900 years).
Revolt on Earth
Martha Jones is captured on the Eve of War and taken to the Valiant to be executed as the Master wished for the Doctor to see her die. The Master transmitted to all of Earth so that they too could witness the death of Martha. However she reveals that she had travelled the universe was to spread the word about the Doctor as part of the plan they both made when the Master took control to use the Archangel Network against him.
She explains that she told them that if they think at one word, at one time and at one moment they could defeat the Master. When the Master's countdown to war reaches zero begin to chant the Doctor's name. Lucy Saxon and the soldiers also began to chant the Doctor's name.
Outcome
The Doctor, Martha Jones and Jack Harkness, the paradox machine used to subvert a temporal paradox thereby allowing the year to occur was destroyed, and so the events of the year did not actually happen. The only people with memories of the year were the Doctor, the Master, Jack Harkness, Lucy Saxon (the Master's companion), Martha Jones, Francine Jones, Clive Jones, Tish Jones, and the soldiers aboard the Valiant. The Master was shot by Lucy, refused to regenerate, and died. (DW: Last of the Time Lords)
