Later, [[the Captain]] crash-landed on Zanak in his ship, the ''[[Vantarialis]]''. He hollowed out the [[planet]], which, using [[transmat|powerful engines]], could materialise around other [[planet]]s and steal their mineral wealth. It would then crush the planets into small, compressed cores. The Captain ruled from a mountain fortress known as [[the Bridge]]. He, in turn, answered to Xanxia, who had recreated him in his current cyborg form. Xanxia had gutted her entire planet to provide the power needed to control the [[time dam]]s that kept her body frozen in its last few seconds of life. Her [[consciousness]] was then projected into a new, virtually-generated body in the form of the Captain's nurse. | Later, [[the Captain]] crash-landed on Zanak in his ship, the ''[[Vantarialis]]''.

The [[Fourth Doctor]] visited Zanak and helped the [[Mentiad]]s overthrow the Captain and Xanxia. The Bridge was destroyed, allowing Zanak to settle in the position that had once been occupied by the planet [[Calufrax]]. Its interior mass was replaced by the remnants of the planets (with the exception of [[Calufrax]]) that Zanak had destroyed, which the Captain had preserved as part of a plan to destroy Xanxia.
