One of the most notable events of the 22nd century was the invasion of Earth and the solar system by the Daleks in 2157. The resulting decade-long occupation was ended by the First Doctor and his companions Susan, Ian Chesterton, and Barbara Wright. So engaged was Susan with the fight to rid the planet of Daleks that she left behind her life aboard her grandfather's TARDIS, and decided to call this century her home, marrying David Campbell. (DW: The Dalek Invasion of Earth) They eventually had a son, Alex. (BFA: An Earthly Child)

Humans took the fight back to the Daleks during this century. The crew of the Earth starship Starfinder landed on Skaro and battled the Daleks on their home planet. (SP: The Curse of the Daleks)

Like Susan, Samantha Jones spent several years in this time zone when separated from the Eighth Doctor. (BFA: Seeing I)

During the early years of the century the galaxy was hit with an economic recession.

Ganger technology started in this century. A solar tsunami at St. John's Monastery let the Gangers there walk free. War between the humans and Gangers was stopped as acid leaked everywhere. (DW: The Rebel Flesh/The Almost People)
