Replacement
In the event of the loss of one's homeworld, a new one would sometimes be settled. In light of Earth Death, humanity chose a planet in the galaxy M87 as New Earth, due to it having the same size, air and orbit as the original Earth. Humans shared this planet with new humans, Catkind, (TV: New Earth) Macra (TV: Gridlock) tree people of Cheem, indigenous Termitons, (AUDIO: Death in the New Forest) Birdkind, solar bears, sky penguins, (AUDIO: The Skies of New Earth) Scorpionkind and Lizardkind. (AUDIO: The Cats of New Cairo)
To replace their homeworlds, the Daleks and the Cybermen established New Skaro (PROSE: Birthright) and New Mondas respectively. (PROSE: Legacy, Theatre of War)
