The DWU character of Nikita Bandranaik featured prominently in the narrative, as did the location of Unity City, first introduced in The Daleks comic story Duel of the Daleks. Notably, it was Bandranaik's decision whether or not to use a chain reaction explosion to prevent the planet P7 from colliding with Saturn, with both choices having the potential to end in the destruction of the solar system.
