The planet was first colonised by humans on a Sunday in the year [[2107]] by 800 colonists from Earth. The colony was established as part of the [[First Wave]] of human colonisation. They launched from the spaceport in [[Mbandaka]] in the [[Democratic Republic of Congo]] in a [[World Builder|mark II world-builder]] called the [[One Small Step]]. They established [[Sunday City]] along the banks of a river. and prepared for the next group of colonists. | The planet was first colonised by humans on a Sunday in the year [[2107]] by 800 colonists from Earth.

However, three months before the arrival of the Doctor, the planet passed into the orbit of a recently destroyed asteroid. Most of the pieces of the fragment cloud burnt up in the atmosphere, but a few struck the surface. One struck the ocean, one kilometre from the shore and six kilometres from Sunday City. The resultant tidal wave raced up the river and struck the settlement, washing most of the buildings and the One Small Step away. More than half of the colonists died in the disaster. | However, three months before the arrival of the Doctor, the planet passed into the orbit of a recently destroyed asteroid.
