One of the most notable events of the 22nd century was the invasion of Earth and the Sol system by the Daleks in 2157. The resulting decade-long occupation was ended by the First Doctor and his companions Susan, Ian Chesterton, and Barbara Wright. Susan fell in love here with David Campbell, ultimately marrying him and leaving behind her life aboard the TARDIS. (DW: The Dalek Invasion of Earth) They eventually had a son, Alex. (BFA: An Earthly Child)

Humans took the fight back to the Daleks during this century. The crew of the Earth starship Starfinder landed on the Dalek home planet Skaro and battled them there. (SP: The Curse of the Daleks)

The Eighth Doctors companion Samantha Jones spent several years in this time zone when separated from him. (BFA: Seeing I)

During the early years of the century the galaxy was hit with an economic recession. (DW: Nightmare of Eden)

Ganger technology started in this century. A solar tsunami at St. John's Monastery let the Gangers there walk free. War between the humans and Gangers was narrowly averted. (DW: The Rebel Flesh/The Almost People)
