Vulcan was colonised [[year]]s before the [[22nd century Dalek invasion|Dalek invasion of Earth]] in the mid-[[22nd century]], after humans discovered the [[mineral]] riches of the planet. It was Earth's third ever colony. The planet was owned and the [[mining]] operations were funded by the [[Interplanetary Mining Corporation]]. They sought to keep things "economical" by providing the colony with the bare necessities of [[technology]] and equipment, stifling efficiency and increasing danger on the planet. This built up resentment, and a band of rebels began plotting against [[Governor]] [[Hensell]], whom they viewed as an IMC mouthpiece.

This overlapped with the rebellion against Hensell led by [[Bragen]]. The rebellion failed after the Daleks began an indiscriminate [[Murder|slaughter]] of the colonists but the [[Second Doctor]] overloaded their temporary [[Static electricity|static]] circuit from the colony's [[electricity]] supply. This left the colony without power for [[month]]s. [[Quinn (The Power of the Daleks)|Quinn]] became Governor in the aftermath.
