Triton

Triton was a moon that orbited the planet Neptune, the eighth planet of the sol system. It was originally a rogue planet until it was caught in Neptune's orbit.

Triton was a cold moon with a thin nitrogen atmosphere. It had frozen pink poles, volcanoes of ice and solid lakes. It was inhabited by the Waro. (PROSE: The Devil Goblins from Neptune)

By the 38th century, Triton was inhabited by humans. Their society showed a belief of multiple deities, and bred grunts. At some point, Gagan Rassmusssen revolutionised Triton with his invention of Morpheus sleep deprivation pods by minimising the human need for sleep and allowing them to be far more productive. However, Rassmusssen's attempts to make the pods more powerful tampered with human brain genetics, and caused the rheum buildup in people's eyes to mutate and coalesce into the Sandmen, abominable carnivores that fed on humans.

The Twelfth Doctor and Clara Oswald sought to eliminate every last Morpheus pod on Triton after seeing the carnage the Sandmen wrought at Le Verrier space station. However, Rassmusssen had mutated into one of the Sandmen, who was sentient and intelligent enough to initiate a plan to infest the Sol system with more of his kind. (TV: Sleep No More)

The space pirate Baltazar was referred to as the "Corsair — King of Triton in the 40th century". (TV: The Infinite Quest)
