A '''Charged Vacuum | A '''Charged Vacuum Emboitement''' or '''CVE''' was a violent pathway between [[universe]]s. CVEs provided a transit point between [[N-Space]] and [[E-Space]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Full Circle (TV story)|Full Circle]]'') | ||

Without mass, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Quest of the Engineer (audio story)|The Quest of the Engineer]]'') CVEs were the rarest of [[space]]-[[time]] events and almost undetectable, entities containing layers of highly charged [[chronon|quantum particles]] suspended in pockets of super-vacuums. They occupied [[The Void|the space between realities]] and were so violent in their physics that when they formed they punched a hole between universes, pushing space aside to insinuate themselves into reality, releasing massive waves of energy in the process. Passing through one was a disorienting experience. They had no external energy signature and made no detectable footprint in the three primary dimensions, yet could be as large as a [[moon]] or even a [[planet]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Invasion of E-Space (audio story)|The Invasion of E-Space]]'') | |||
CVEs operated passively, drawing both physical objects and entropy through them. Because of their special function, the closure of the CVEs would threaten the physical integrity of N-Space and all life within. ([[TV]]: ''[[Logopolis (TV story)|Logopolis]]'') | |||
The Doctor's universe took the energy it needed to continue expanding from pocket universes, drawing the energy through [[black hole]]s or Charged Vacuum Emboitements. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dominion (novel)|Dominion]]'') | |||

The [[Logopolitan]]s created CVEs using [[Block Transfer Computation]]s in order to save N-Space, their universe, the existence of which was threatened by [[entropy]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Logopolis (TV story)|Logopolis]]'') | The [[Logopolitan]]s created CVEs using [[Block Transfer Computation]]s in order to save N-Space, their universe, the existence of which was threatened by [[entropy]]. It was the job of the [[Advanced Research Unit]] to keep the CVEs open. ([[TV]]: ''[[Logopolis (TV story)|Logopolis]]'') | ||
While all complex systems eventually break down, the Logopolitans reasoned that if they opened a closed system (N-Space) into a smaller one (E-Space) they could extend the life of the larger one. By the year [[1981]], N-Space had already passed the point of no return into [[heat death]] [[Distant past|long ago]], the CVEs were the only thing keeping it still viable. Also that year, only one CVE (located in [[Cassiopeia]]) was left, eventually closing in the [[far future]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Logopolis (TV story)|Logopolis]]'', [[PROSE]]: '' [[Timewyrm: Apocalypse (novel)|Timewyrm: Apocalypse]]'') | |||
While | While in flight, [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] travelled through a CVE into E-Space by accident. ([[TV]]: ''[[Full Circle (TV story)|Full Circle]]'') The [[Fourth Doctor]], [[Romana II]], [[K9 Mark II|K9]] and [[Adric]] wandered this universe for months, searching for another CVE to return them to N-Space. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Invasion of E-Space (audio story)|The Invasion of E-Space]]'') In the middle of the [[22nd century]], the [[human]] ship ''[[Hydrax]]'' passed into E-Space, likely through a CVE, though the [[King Vampire]] had some involvement in bringing them through. ([[TV]]: ''[[State of Decay (TV story)|State of Decay]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[Lucifer Rising (novel)|Lucifer Rising]]'') | ||
Adric attempted to devise a computer program that would allow the TARDIS to travel back to E-space once it found a suitable CVE, but he died in a confrontation with the Cybermen before he could use it to return home. ([[TV]]: ''[[Earthshock (TV story)|Earthshock]]'') Unfortunately, the program he had written remained in the TARDIS computers, which activated when the TARDIS passed by another CVE after his death, trapping the [[Fifth Doctor]], [[Nyssa]], [[Tegan Jovanka|Tegan]] and [[Vislor Turlough|Turlough]] back in E-Space. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Mistfall (audio story)|Mistfall]]'') The TARDIS was eventually able to travel back to N-Space through a final CVE, which was powered by Nyssa's own life energy. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Entropy Plague (audio story)|The Entropy Plague]]'') | |||
In an [[aborted timeline]], the [[Time Lord]]s attempted to divert an entropy wave into another universe through a CVE but this only caused the wave to realise that there was more to consume. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Masterful (audio story)|Masterful]]'') | |||

[[The War King]] asked [[Compassion]] if she wanted to eat a "Charged Vacuum [[Soufflé]]". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Book of the War (novel)|The Book of the War]]'') | |||
