- You may be looking for Slitheen-Blathereen ship.
The Slitheen craft was a spacecraft used by the Slitheen. It had faster-than-light travel capability in the form of a slipstream engine.
History[[edit] | [edit source]]
A craft was crashed into Big Ben and the River Thames on 6 March, 2006, (TV: Aliens of London) the Slitheen using the crash as a diversion for their bigger plans, namely, their attempt to destroy Earth. Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen claimed that it wasn't crashed, but parked "barely two minutes away" from 10 Downing Street for the Slitheen to escape to when World War III started. At the same time, the Slitheen had a spaceship hidden in the North Sea, transmitting an advert for Earth into space. (TV: World War Three) To further the hoax of an alien invasion, the Slitheen genetically modified a pig into a biped and placed it aboard the craft as its "pilot". (TV: Aliens of London)
In the Total Collapse Event Incident, River Song counted Slitheen spacecraft among those of the Pandorica Alliance which appeared over Earth in the year 102. (TV: The Pandorica Opens)
There was another ship near Earth in the 2000s[nb 1] while the Slitheen began turning off the Sun. (TV: Revenge of the Slitheen)
A Slitheen craft was later seen leaving Earth after the Moon almost collided with the planet. (TV: The Lost Boy)
In 2009, two of the Slitheen-Blathereen used a similar, less complex ship as a base. (TV: The Gift)
In 2010, a Slitheen had a ship waiting for him as he planned to kill Luke and Sarah Jane Smith using a bomb. However, he was thwarted and killed by the Smiths' allies before he could return to his ship. (TV: The Nightmare Man)
In their plan to turn Justicia into a planet destroyer, the Blathereen used a huge mothership, however it was destroyed by a solar flare. (PROSE: The Monsters Inside)
The Jinglatheen used a similar ship in 3764. It was recognised by Rose Tyler, who had witnessed the Slitheen craft crashing into Big Ben. (COMIC: Doctormania)
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- A Slitheen craft appears in the online game Doctor In A Dash as one of three enemy ships, along with a Dalek flying saucer and a Judoon rocket, that race along with the Doctor's TARDIS (the player) to find a Space-Time Manipulator. Like the other enemy ships, the Slitheen craft can fire energy weapons to immobilise the other ships temporarily. Assuming the player completes the game, the Tenth Doctor claims the Space-Time Manipulator and destroys it to prevent it falling into the wrong hands.
- In the design plans for the Shadow Proclamation, there was a room that was supposedly contained criminal spaceships. One of these was a Slitheen craft. (The Ultimate Monster Guide)
