Midnight (planet)
- For the Episode of the same name see Midnight (TV story)
Midnight was a planet composed mostly of diamonds. This diamond-based geology was active, with Diamond falls being a common occurrence, and there even existed a Sapphire Waterfall. Earthquakes were thought to be impossible though.
The planet had no atmosphere and due to the destructive xtonic radiation of its sun it was thought that no life was possible on the planet, be it carbon-based, hydrogen-based, silicates, gas beings or anything (Captain Jack's Monster Files). This turned out to be incorrect when a Crusader Tours Shuttle bus forced to take a detour was attacked by a mysterious entity. The Planet is said to be beside the sun.
Despite the hostile environment, the Leisure Palace Company turned it into a leisure planet to take advantage of its spectacular views. Since no human could walk on the surface or even touch the planet's diamonds, Leisure palaces were lowered from space. There was a spa, which had an anti-gravity restaurant, and a bus company called Crusader Tours offered sightseeing trips to the planet's picturesque locales, such as the Sapphire Waterfall.The Doctor and Donna visited Midnight on one occasion and found that although it was thought to be imposssible some kind of life-form was able to survive on the planets surface.THe (DW: Midnight)
