Hydrax

The Hydrax was a human-crewed ship from the 22nd century. After venturing through a CVE, it became a permanent fixture on a planet in E-Space and was known as the Tower.

In 2127, en route from Earth to Beta Two in the Perugellis sector, the Hydrax was drawn into a CVE and through into E-space by the King Vampire. He placed it on a planet and went into hiding beneath it. The Hydrax became a castle. It stood upright for a thousand years and rock built up around it, making it appear that it was on a hill. The detached computer system was taken by the rebels. Kalmar got it working and used its scanner function to observe the Hydrax and the surrounding area.

Start at locations

Locations come in all shapes and sizes. But we've made it exceedingly easy to figure out how to start looking up locations. Just go to category:locations, and start working your way down.

What's a nice American state like you doing in a British joint like this?

Why yes, there have been stories set in New Mexico.

Wanna see whether there have been DWU stories set in your neck of the woods? A good place to start might be our categories about regional governments. Take a stroll through:

• American states
• Australian states
• Canadian provinces
• English counties

(And yes, we know there are more places than this in the world, but it's a start!)

We like to study the natural features of the DWU. So take a look at:

• Forests
• Mountains
• Singing Towers
• Cliffs of Oblivion
• Ley line
• Bodies of water
• Uluru
• Columbia Plateau
• Valleys
• Tar pit
• Mercury swamp
• Continents
• Islands
• River

Where have you been, Doctor?

Sometimes, you want to look at places in terms of whether a specific incarnation of the Doctor has visited there. We've tried to make that easy by offering up a whole branch of categories under locations visited by the Doctor. Want to discover the planets visited by the Third Doctor because you thought he was exiled to Earth and never went anywhere? Or maybe you're interested in what cities the Tenth Doctor went to.

Other planets, other places

While on the Dalek homeworld, don't miss the fabulously scenic ... Lake of Mutations!

Sure, the Doctor spends a heck of a lot of his time exploring Earth. But quite a lot is known about the geography of other worlds, too. Check out category:locations by planet to visit places like Skaro's Ocean of Ooze, or the great Martian cities or places to see on New Earth.

Go where almost nobody knows your name

Being a British franchise, Doctor Who has more than its fair share of places to get a drink. Step past the swinging saloon doors at bars and pubs.

Look out below!

Although the Doctor spends an awful lot of time on the ground, it should come as no surprise that he's walked a few space station corridors in his time. Here's the list we're working on now...

Time is a location

Doctor Who being a show about time travel, it should perhaps come as know surprise that there are such things as temporal locations, too.

The Streets of San Francisco?

You've heard of trainspotters? Well, we're street spotters around here. Seriously, we love our city infrastructure, but especially streets. Yes, we tend to care most about English streets, but believe it or not, we know quite a lot about how to get around streets in Buenos Aires, thanks to Torchwood: Miracle Day. (So that's one good thing about that series.)
