Only being described with either a symbol or a warning, '''Desolation''' was the closest thing to a name borne by a planet in the [[Twelve Galaxies]]. It was located in a trinary star system and had three moons. The planetary environment featured [[mountain]]s, [[mist swamp]]s, and [[acetylene]] fields. | Only being described with either a symbol or a warning, '''Desolation''' was the closest thing to a name borne by a planet in the [[Twelve Galaxies]].

The planet was colonised in ancient times. These first settlers witnessed a mysterious structure that phased into existence every thousand rotations, which they called the "Ghost Monument". This was actually [[the Doctor's TARDIS]], whose engines had become stuck in a loop due to damage caused by the [[Twelfth Doctor]]'s [[regeneration]]. | The planet was colonised in ancient times.

Some time later, the planet was conquered by the [[Stenza]]. They kidnapped a group of scientists and extorted them to create new means of destruction, including [[weapon]]s, [[poison]]s, and deadly creatures. The planet was used as their testing ground. The scientists were held in a maze of underground tunnels that spanned half the planet. | Some time later, the planet was conquered by the [[Stenza]].

Eventually the planet's [[ecosystem]] was completely destroyed and its inhabitants eradicated. It was said that the planet had been "made cruel": the [[atmosphere]] became toxic, the [[water]] was filled with [[flesh-eating microbe]]s, and killing machines and creatures such as the [[Remnant]]s and the [[SniperBot]]s infested the surface. The planet itself fell out of its orbit. The captive scientists attempted to destroy their research before the Stenza could use it against anyone else. | Eventually the planet's [[ecosystem]] was completely destroyed and its inhabitants eradicated.

The surface of the planet became even more dangerous at night as the Remnants would move openly while remaining dormant during the day. | |||

Desolation was used as the final stage of the [[Rally of the Twelve Galaxies]]. During this event, the [[Thirteenth Doctor]], [[Graham O'Brien]], [[Ryan Sinclair]] and [[Yasmin Khan]] visited the planet to search for [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]]. With help from the Doctor and her [[companion]]s, the two finalists, [[Angstrom]] and [[Epzo]], both won the race and were teleported away from the planet by [[Ilin]]. The Doctor was able to stabilise her TARDIS and escape Desolation.
