History
Circa 4,999,999,740 AD one of its constituent planets, New Savannah, joined the New Earth Empire, which was presumably set up before the aforementioned date. (COMIC: Agent Provocateur) By 5,000,000,023 AD, humanity was fully established (with a population of at least ten million) on the planet New Earth after the original had been destroyed 23 years earlier. (TV: New Earth)
The Macra were called the "Scourge of this Galaxy" by the Tenth Doctor while they were on New Earth. This may mean that the Macra originate from M87. (TV: Gridlock)
