The Judoon rockets were spacecraft used by the Judoon to travel and capture alien criminals.

The rockets had four landing prongs and four boosters. They could land and take-off vertically. They were capable of firing an energy blast that could blow up an Earth-like planet. (WEB: Captain Jack's Monster Files)

History

In 102 A.D. a Judoon rocket hovered over Stonehenge before being warned off by the Eleventh Doctor. Three Judoon from the rocket teleported into the Pandorica chamber along with the rest of the Alliance to imprison the Doctor. (DW: The Pandorica Opens)

In 2008, the Plasmavore known as Florence Finnegan plotted to kill every living creature on the Moon at the time of Judoon's landing there and escape in the rockets. This plan was foiled by the Tenth Doctor with the help of Martha Jones. (DW: Smith and Jones)

Behind the scenes

A Judoon rocket appears in the online game Doctor In A Dash as one of three enemy ships, along with a Dalek Flying Saucer and a Slitheen craft, that race along with the Doctor's TARDIS (the player) to find a Space-Time Manipulator. Like the other enemy ships, the Judoon rocket can fire energy weapons to immobilise the other ships temporarily. Assuming the player completes the game, the Tenth Doctor claims the Space-Time Manipulator and destroys it to prevent it falling into the wrong hands.
