Bandraginus V: Difference between revisions

}}'''Bandraginus V''' was a [[Vegan (The Monster of Peladon)|Vegan]] shipyard. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[First Frontier]]'') It had about a billion inhabitants, the [[Fourth Doctor]] calling it "a planet of a thousand million souls". Some time before its engulfment of [[Calufrax]], [[Zanak]] materialised around Bandraginus V, mining it for all its mineral wealth, including [[Oolion]], an element only found on Bandraginus V and [[Qualactin]]. Following this, [[the Captain]] super-compressed it and added Bandraginus V to his collection. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Pirate Planet]]'')

The name "Bantraginus V" is likely a reference to "{{iw|hitchhikers|Santraginus V}}", the home for one of the key ingredients in {{iw|hitchhikers|Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster}} in [[Douglas Adams]]'s ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]]''. ''[[The Pirate Planet]]'' was Douglas Adams' first contribution to ''[[Doctor Who]]''.
