Speculation

As the "Behind the scenes" section notes, the Doctor's dialogue in the episode is ambiguous as to whether "Mordee" refers to the people or the ship, and in the novelisation it's completely unclear whether he's just naming the colonists by synecdoche. For reference, here are all the uses of the word "Mordee" in the episode:

'Now I remember,' breathed the Doctor. 'The Mordee expedition. And I thought I was helping them!' ... 'When I was here before, the Mordee were having trouble with their new computer. I repaired and re-programmed it for them.''Doctor Who and the Face of Evil

Now, given that later sources (PROSE: Theatre of War, AUDIO: Disassembled) are quite clear that "Mordee" is the name of the planet, I don't think there's any reason for this page to exist independent of Mordee expedition. – n8 () 02:00, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
