Vulcan (planet)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
- You may be looking for the human colony or the species from the Federation universe.
Vulcan was the first planet out from Sol on the Daleks' chart of the solar system as they planned to invade in 2400. (COMIC: Invasion of the Daleks) However, others believed that Mercury was the first planet, (AUDIO: The Satanic Mill) making Earth "Sol III". (TV: Voyage of the Damned)
Vulcan appeared as an exhibit in the Museum of Things That Don't Exist. (PROSE: The Taking of Planet 5)
Behind the scenes
- Scientists of the 19th and 20th centuries hypothesised the existence of a planet between the orbit of Mercury and Sol, and sometimes referred to that planet as Vulcan. This theory has since been discredited. The Vulcan in The Taking of Planet 5 is a reference to this.
