Ravenous: Difference between revisions

|aka          = [[Kolstani]]

The Ravenous were originally a race known as the [[Kolstani]], who existed on the planet [[Kolstarn]], a unique world that existed in the Time Vortex, the Kolstani drawing on the energy of the Vortex to sustain themselves, to the extent that they could warp reality to a minor degree. The Gallifreyan scientist [[Artron]] attempted to analyse that power to create a system of perfect [[regeneration]], but was interrupted when the [[Eighth Doctor|Doctor]] and the [[The Master|Master]] came to the planet, the Doctor seeking his insight into the Ravenous and the dying Master wanting his aid in restoring the Master's ability to regenerate. Having acted as Artron's assistant for several months, the Master devised a machine that would allow him to absorb the energy from the Kolstani, forcing Artron to help him by fatally wounding the Doctor, but Artron reconfigured the device to give him that power rather than the Master. However, draining the energy from the Kolstani compromised their mental stability and reduced them to a state of perpetual hunger, where they sought to take the regenerative energy from Time Lords as a means of compensating for their own loss of energy.
