New Earth (New Earth)
New Earth was a planet colonised by the New Earth Empire.
Astronomical Data
New Earth was located in the M87 galaxy. It was chosen for colonisation because it had had an orbit, size, atmosphere and terrain similar to Earth. New Earth had at least two large moons or planets in its vicinity, visible in the sky. Apple-grass grew on the planet.
Landmarks of New Earth included New New York, which was actually the fifteenth New York, and the New New York Hospital, a hospital run by the Sisters of Plenitude. (DW: New Earth) There was also a New Atlantic and a New New Jersey somewhere on the planet. (DW: Gridlock)
History
Long before the planet Earth was destroyed in the year 5,000,000,000, (DW: The End of the World) as the sun expanded and Earth became uninhabitable, humanity relocated to a new planet and named it New Earth. This happened at least before 4,999,999,740, when New Earth was the capital of the New Earth Empire. (IDW: Agent Provocateur)
In the year 5,000,000,023 the Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler visited New Earth because the Doctor had received an invitation from the Face of Boe . Cassandra O'Brien.Δ17 spotted them with her Robotic Spider. She overrode the the hospital lift and made Rose descend to her level. Cassandra took over Rose's body. She discovered the Sisters of Plenitude were growing humans to cure all viruses and diseases. The Doctor, with the help of Cassandra in Rose's body, released a medecine to cure them. The remaining Sisters were arrested by the NNYPD and Cassandra passed into the body of her clone, Chip. (DW: New Earth)
In 5,000,000,029, a deadly virus mutated from a mood drug and spread across New Earth wiping out the entire above-ground population. The Undercity was sealed off to protect the population.
In 5,000,000,053, the Doctor and Martha Jones arrived in the undercity. Martha was kidnapped and trapped in the Motorway, an underground traffic route that was supposed to take people to the surface. Since above-ground was sealed off, the Motorway was essentially an endless circuit of traffic. The Doctor met the Face of Boe one last time. Boe died by using his life energy to open the roof of the motorway so that mankind could live on the surface once more. (DW: Gridlock)
Behind the scenes
New Earth appears in the online game Doctor In A Dash as the setting of Level 2 where, as with all levels, the Doctor's TARDIS (the player) races against a Dalek Flying Saucer, a Judoon rocket, and a Slitheen craft to find a Space-Time Manipulator. The cars of New New York act as obstacles to the ships.
