Time Lord soldiers were Time Lords trained to serve as soldiers for Gallifrey and the Great Houses.
Last Great Time War
Time Lord soldiers were often trained to fight and sent to the frontline of the Last Great Time War, despite the fact that Dalek gunsticks were usually equipped with regeneration inhibitors. (AUDIO: The Conscript) The Time Lords looked for ways to revive their dead troops so they could continue to fight, such as allying with the Technomancers, (AUDIO: Legion of the Lost) and applied bio-engineering to their soldiers, which made them see premonitions of their deaths. (PROSE: A Brief History of Time Lords)
Gallifreyan shock troops were specialised Gallifreyan troops. (AUDIO: The Rulers of the Universe) Among the equipment they possessed was a time pendant (AUDIO: Assets of War) which allowed troopers to stay precisely ten nanoseconds in time ahead of their opponents, which they used to avoid getting "mowed down" on ground assaults. Such a pendant was taken by the Eighth Doctor as a "souvenir", which he used to escape the Sanukuma. (AUDIO: The Rulers of the Universe) The 5th Gallifreyan Infantry was a Gallifreyan shock troop. (AUDIO: Assets of War)
War in Heaven
- Main article: House Military
The armed forces of the Great Houses in the War in Heaven were organised as the House Military. (PROSE: The Book of the War) As well as using lesser species as their agents, Time Lords themselves directly fought on Dronid. (PROSE: Alien Bodies) The forces included not just the old Capitol Guard but also new generations bred specifically for fighting. (PROSE: Crimes Against History) Nine of these House Military "Waves" were bred in the first 50 years of the War. (PROSE: The Book of the War)
Post-war universe
Upon the Twelfth Doctor's return to Gallifrey, Gastron, who had served with the War Doctor at Skull Moon, inspected the Cloisters, reporting to the Eleventh General that they were active. He was then sent in a military vehicle to order the Doctor to accompany him to the Capitol. When the Doctor stood his ground, Rassilon ordered a firing squad, which included Gastron, to the Drylands to execute the Doctor. The General was aware that some of the soldiers had served with the Doctor, and the entire squad ultimately refused to shoot the Doctor, taking his side when he banished Rassilon from Gallifrey. Gastron later witnessed the regeneration of the General, who had been shot by the Doctor, and assisted the Twelfth General in pursuing the Doctor as he attempted to escape with Clara Oswald.
