Metebelis III

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Metebelis III was a planet in the Acteon Galaxy. The Doctor has attempted to reach Metebelis III several times, eventually succeeding and meeting some of the native wildlife.

When mentioned in The Green Death, the Doctor said Metebelis III was located in the Acteon Cluster. This may be another name for the Acteon Galaxy or may be a specific location in the Acteon galaxy.

Features

The blue moon of Metebelis III causes the whole planet to have a blue tint at night. It has a wide variety of habitats, having forest, snowy mountains and dry plains. Metebelis III has giant snakes and birds and a sentient species. (DW: The Green Death)

The blue crystals of Metebelis III can break hypnotic spells (DW: The Green Death), enhance intelligence and also enhance psychic powers. Another type of stone on the planet can counteract the energy produced by the blue crystals. (DW: Planet of the Spiders)

History

The Doctor visited Metebelis III at an unknown time period, during which time he stole a crystal. (DW: The Green Death)

At some point in the far future, a Human starship crash landed there. Humans and sheep survived the trip, as did some spiders. Over the course of a millennia, the crystals mutated the spiders into the Eight Legs. The Eight Legs enslaved the humans and proceeded to harvest and eat them.

The Eight Legs planned to take over the rest of the universe, but required all of the blue crystals. The Doctor's theft of one of the crystals caused the Great One to send her minions to Earth to retrieve it. The series of events which followed led to the replacement of the crystal, which flooded both the body of the Doctor and the Great One with radiation, which caused the death of the Great One and the regeneration of The Doctor into his fourth incarnation. (DW: Planet of the Spiders)

Recovering from the Eight Legs' rule, the humans may have colonised the planet, possibly intending to do so before the rise of the spiders. Bernice Summerfield visited a bar on Metebelis III. (NA: Blood Harvest)

The planet was mentioned by Sarah Jane Smith, when just before her wedding she wondered where would she send the Doctor's invite. (SJA: The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith)
