{{ | {{retitle|RMS ''Lusitania''}}The '''RMS ''Lusitania''''' was an ocean liner torpedoed by the ''[[U-20]]'' on [[7 May]] [[1915]]. This act helped provoke the [[United States]] into entering [[World War I]] two years later. One of the people killed onboard was a petty criminal named [[Eric Charles Vincent]]. | ||
In an [[alternative timeline]], the ''Lusitania'' did not sink due to the [[Fifth Doctor]]'s intervention. Vincent, having survived, went on to kill [[Alexander Fleming]] in a botched robbery attempt in [[December]] [[1927]] before the biologist discovered [[penicillin]]. Without the protection offered by penicillin, [[Earth]] fell prey to new strains of [[meningitis]] and [[pneumonia]] in [[1956]]. The survivors never developed a space programme. Consequently, the [[Knights of Velyshaa]] were not defeated by the [[Earth Alliance]] in [[3562]] as they otherwise would have been.
