Cult of Shining Darkness
Template:Infobox Organization The Cult of Shining Darkness was a cult dedicated to destroying all of robot kind. The Doctor and Donna Noble encountered a faction who almost succeeded in their plan but failed.
History
The Cult of Shining Darkness was created by a woman called Khnu em Llodis who was an organic extremist and wanted to kill every robot not under her control, considering them dangerous non-sentients. She started a cult and recruited several members. They planned and built a huge space station called the Torch which they hid inside the black hole Sentilli. It was designed to take over and control every robot in the Andromeda Galaxy.
Later, Khnu mysteriously died and the Cult became very quiet for about two years. Then, Garaman Havati took control of the remnants of the cult. He began a new mission to build a device to free the Torch from Sentilli. He formed a team and began to search for the components for the device. However, they were followed by a group of supporters of mechanical life onboard a ship called the Sword of Justice Garaman placed a spy called Li'ian on the ship to monitor their activities.
The Cult visited Chao, Uhlala, Karris and Junk (closely followed by the Sword of Justice) to gather the four components to build the device. During the beam up of the component on Uhlala, they unintentionally picked up Donna Noble. The Doctor joined the Sword of Justice to get Donna back. During their attempt to activate the Torch, the crew of the Sword of Justice detonated an antimatter bomb on board the cultist’s ship. The remaining members of the Cult were killed in the explosion. It is not known if any are still active. (NSA: Shining Darkness)
