Eight-Point Table

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

The Eight-Point Table was a body within the Ice Warriors' government. It consisted of eight Supreme Grand Marshals who wore ornate, light purple armour, inset with gold and embossed with a representation of the Martian Sphinx on the chest. Members also wore voluminous, dark purple cloaks.

They served as the leaders of the Martian race during the Thousand Day War against Earth. The Ice Warriors lost the war and a United Nations team was sent to negotiate their surrender. When the humans arrived on Mars, all they found were the dead bodies of six members of the Eight-Point Table who had been executed as per Martian tradition. The bodies of two members, Falaxyr and Abrasaar, were not present. (PROSE: GodEngine)
