A captain was a member of an equine-looking species who commanded a spaceship which ended up at the Edge of Creation.

Falling through a wormhole, her incredibly large spaceship became lost at the very edge of the known universe. The captain encountered the not-things, which had smuggled themselves on board. To ensure that they could not reach the inhabited parts of the universe, she installed a mechanism onboard the ship, which would slowly reconfigure it into a bomb, and had a robot installed to an incredibly slow walk towards the activation button as well as a very slow countdown to self-destruction. This would ensure that the monsters, who couldn't understand slowness, would not be able to know what she had done. The captain then opened an air-lock on her spaceship, and jumped out into the nothingness, killing herself, and ensuring the not-things couldn't copy her thoughts about her plan.

Three years later, when the Fourteenth Doctor and Donna Noble arrived, her corpse had been caught in the gravity field around the spaceship, causing her spacesuit to collide with the ship and create a banging noise. Her corpse was incinerated when the spaceship finally exploded, taking the not-things with her, making her final mission successful. (TV: Wild Blue Yonder [+]Loading...["Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)"])
