'''Calufrax''' | '''Calufrax''' seemed to be a cold [[oblate spheroid]] [[planet]] with a diameter of about 14,000 kilometres, but in fact was one of the disguised six segments of the [[Key to Time]]. | ||
As a planet it was rich in [[voolium]] and [[madranite one-five]], which drew it to the attention of the crew of the pirate planet [[Zanak]], who needed the minerals to subdue the psychic [[Mentiad]]s. However, [[Fibuli]] noted that it was "in an unexpected sector", and was hesitant in recommending the planet to [[the Captain]], saying there was something "rather curious" about it. | |||

It was the last world captured by [[Zanak]] and reduced to a trophy the size of a football. Its metricized structure, having a variable atomic weight, betrayed its origin as not a natural planet, but the second segment of the [[Key to Time]], and it was recovered by the [[Fourth Doctor]] and [[Romana I|Romana]]. | |||
Prior this adventure, the Doctor had visited Calufrax, which he found to be completely uninhabited, cold, wet and [[ice]]-coated. He considered the prospect of returning to Calufrax to be "paralysingly dull, boring, and tedious", and was immediately disappointed that the [[tracer]] indicated that one of the segments of the Key to Time was there, describing it as a "horrible place" and a "mean little planet".
