Deneb

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Deneb

Deneb was a star orbited by multiple planets.

According to one account, Dr Who was driven to travel back to the 2150 Dalek invasion of Earth because he had seen records on the Earth of the year 3000 of an alien invasion at that time. These records described the invaders are originating from the planet "M-1", which orbited Deneb. (COMIC: Daleks, invasión a la Tierra año 2150 [+]Loading...["Daleks, invasión a la Tierra año 2150 (comic story)"]) In other accounts, the Daleks' homeworld was identified as Skaro, (TV: Dr. Who and the Daleks [+]Loading...["Dr. Who and the Daleks (theatrical film)"]) parts of a "Skaro system" with twelve or more planets orbiting it.

Other planets documented as orbiting Deneb in other accounts included Deneb-3, (COMIC: Under the Volcano [+]Loading...["Under the Volcano (comic story)"]) Deneb IV, (AUDIO: The Ultimate Adventure [+]Loading...["The Ultimate Adventure (audio story)"]) and Deneb-7.

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

As Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. [+]Loading...["Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. (theatrical film)"] was released in Argentina long before Dr. Who and the Daleks [+]Loading...["Dr. Who and the Daleks (theatrical film)"] (or any other version of the original The Daleks [+]Loading...["The Daleks (TV story)"] narrative), the comic adaption Daleks, invasión a la Tierra año 2150 [+]Loading...["Daleks, invasión a la Tierra año 2150 (comic story)"] was written for an audience unfamiliar with the otherwise-established Dalek homeworld of Skaro. Deneb is a real star in the Milky Way, though it is not known to be orbited by any planets, let alone inhabited ones. It is unclear whether one should understand "M-1" to be human astronomers' name for Skaro (identifying one of Skaro's "two suns" as Deneb), or a differing, perhaps diegetically mistaken account of the Daleks' origin.
