Eden (planet)
Eden was a dark, hostile jungle planet. (TV: Nightmare of Eden)
Description[[edit] | [edit source]]
It was the native planet of the Mandrels. Eden was also populated by a glowing insect with a bite that stunned. Eden also had carnivorous, people-eating plants which snagged its prey with vines and then drew the prey into its maw. Biting through a root would cause what appears to be green blood to squirt out and make it let go of its prey. Eden also had an orange atmosphere and was constantly bathed in orange twilight. (TV: Nightmare of Eden)
History[[edit] | [edit source]]
Eden was listed on a data-grid of previous destinations a spaceship had visited. (GAME: "Past Journeys" [+]Part of Twisted Conundrums 1, Loading...{"page":"17","namedpart":"Past Journeys","1":"Twisted Conundrums (DWA15 1 game)"})
A section of the plant was captured by Tryst in his Continuous Event Transmuter, only for the Fourth Doctor, Romana II, and K9 Mark II to stop his plans. (TV: Nightmare of Eden)
Bernice Summerfield briefly met the Fourth Doctor there, where she acquired a jelly baby, which was actually a segment to the Key to Time. They were both chased by a Mandrel. (COMIC: Time & Time Again)
By 2129, the Earth Colonial Council had designated Eden as a Haven World. The Convent of Saint Eve was also present on the planet at this time. (COMIC: The Demons of Eden)
Apples from Eden were sold at Primo Temp. (COMIC: Buying Time)
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
The backdrop used for Eden in Nightmare of Eden was reused from the Space: 1999 episode The Full Circle, where it represented the planet Retha.
