'''Earth Death''', also known as the '''[[end of the world]]''', was the name given to the event in the [[year]] [[5,000,000,000]] in which the [[planet]] [[Earth]] was ultimately destroyed, having been engulfed by [[the Sun]] as it became a [[red giant]]. It was attended by [[guest]]s who were, as the [[Ninth Doctor]] put it, worth "[[zillion]]s". | '''Earth Death''', also known as the '''[[end of the world]]''', was the name given to the event in the [[year]] [[5.5/Apple/26]], better known as [[5,000,000,000]], in which the [[planet]] [[Earth]] was ultimately destroyed, having been engulfed by [[the Sun]] as it became a [[red giant]].

==Prelude== | |||
As the Sun expanded, the Earth was completely vacated by its former inhabitants, namely [[human]]ity, who by the year | |||
5,000,000,000 were said to have "touched every [[star]] in the [[sky]]". The [[Cassandra's mother|mother]] and [[Cassandra's father|father]] of the [[Lady]] [[Cassandra O'Brien.Δ17]] were said to be the last to be [[burial|buried]] in the Earth's [[soil]]. | |||
By this point, the now uninhabited planet was the [[property]] of the [[National Trust]], who kept it preserved by using [[gravity satellite]]s to hold back the Sun while reversing the shifting [[continent]]s to a [[classic Earth]] formation. Ultimately, however, the Trust ran out of [[money]] to the Earth preserved and so, as the [[Ninth Doctor]] put it, "[[nature]] took over".
