An electronics revolution occurs on Earth, and Vaughn's International Electronics (IE), becomes the world leader in the industry ("The Invasion"). (Note: This is the dating suggested in the actual story, though it contradicts the dating suggested for other UNIT era stories, and is itself contradicted by "Iceberg" and "Downtime." See UNIT dating controversy and "No Future" for further explanation.)
