Lords of Althrace
The Lords of Althrace were residents of the Althrace system, considered to be fellow "Higher Evolutionaries" by the Matrix Lords of Gallifrey. They travelled in living crystal craft which were almost as powerful as TARDISes.
Biology[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Lords of Althrace were of normal human size and build, but had large eyes, long snouts, and skulls that were large, bumpy, and hairless. Their skin was yellow.
They were one of many species from the Althrace system, but unlike the Kalichura they had a special bio-mechanical relationship with the system. Together, the Lords and their home had become a "single vast, thinking feeling, intelligent being". Other beings in this symbiosis included giant machinic brains.

History[[edit] | [edit source]]
In the era before the anti-alien Loom-born revolt on Gallifrey, two Lords of Althrace were friends with the Doctor's parents. They attended the festival where the young Infinity Doctor met Patience. (PROSE: The Infinity Doctors [+]Loading...["The Infinity Doctors (novel)"])
The Lords of Althrace were alerted to Melanicus' escape by Rassilon, and sent Dakon Theka and the Thane of Kordar as their representatives to the council that was called to discuss ending his menace. They co-ordinated the stopping of time using the combined mental exertions of all the High Evolutionaries, which allowed the Doctor and his companions to locate the stolen Event Synthesizer and defeat Melanicus.
