Star whale
The Star Whale is a species of giant creatures capable of travelling through space. A similar species was encountered by Torchwood 3. A Star Whale was used to carry Starship UK in The Beast Below
An antient and benevolent species the Star whales had acording to legened guided early Space travelers through dangers on their journeys through space. By the time of the 29 century the species was all but extinct save for who is theorised to be the last of its kind. When earth was facing destruction because of Solar flares that Star whale was drawn to earth. All the peoples of Earth had managed to escpe in massive city ships but the people of Grest Britian lacked the supplies to create an engine, the people were left hopless and mostly hearbroken by the sounds of their Children crying due to the increasing tempretures. It was these sounds that had drawn the whale to the planet for has Amy put it "When your that old and alone an so full of kindness what else can you do" who intended to offer its survaces to the stranded people.
Unfortunatly the people of Grest Britian mis interpreted this gesture of good will has a chance in a million miracle and captured the whale, building their ship right on its back and carved opoen its brain to toture it in to moving. This led to the paridoxical situation in the insuing years has the people began to realise they could not justify their survival off of the suffering of an innocent creature. But they believed if they released it the creature would destroy the ship in its escape, so they devized the forget system to erase the memories and the Smilers and Winders to insure no one discovered the truth and to "Dispose" of those who didnt agree to have their memory erased.
Eventualy the Doctor discovered the heart of the ship where the Smilers and their controlers were toturing the Whale with electric shocks to keep it moving and faced the impossible situation. Angered that he would now have to sacrifice the life of an innocent and one of a kind being to save billions the Doctor was prepared to labotamise the Space Whale so it would no longer feel pain from the toture. Amy however noticed the Whale's neural tentrils affectionatly playing with the children who the whale always refused to eat when they were sent down below. Remembering the Doctor's lesson about always observins she quickly put the pieces together and ran over to the control system to press the "Abdicate" button freeing the Whale. The ship however did not explode has was originaly feared but instead started to move faster "Well now that the piolet's not being totured" Amy explained have deduced that the Whale had come willingly and was still willing to help the people of Great Britain.
That Tardis then left now that the people of Great Britian had a better understanding and respect for their benevolent benafactor; what was unoticed however was another crack in the universe that ran across the side of the space ship.
