As a planet it was rich in [[voolium]] and [[madranite one-five]], and the only place where they were known to naturally occur. This drew it to the attention of the crew of the pirate planet [[Zanak]] who needed the crystals to subdue the psychic [[Mentiad]]s. However, [[Fibuli]] noted that it was "in an unexpected sector", and was hesitant in recommending the planet to [[the Captain]], saying there was something "rather curious" about it. | As a planet it was rich in [[voolium]] and [[madranite one-five]], and the only place where they were known to naturally occur.

Prior to this, the Doctor had visited Calufrax, which he found to be completely uninhabited, cold, wet and [[ice]]-coated. He considered the prospect of returning to Calufrax to be "paralysingly dull, boring, and tedious", and was immediately disappointed that the [[tracer]] indicated that one of the segments of the Key to Time was there.

It was the last world captured by [[Zanak]] and reduced to a trophy the size of a football. Its metricized structure, having a variable atomic weight, betrayed its origin as not a natural planet, but the second segment of the [[Key to Time]]. It was recovered by the [[Fourth Doctor]] and [[Romana I]].

Calufrax and the other carefully balanced planets inspired the Daleks' use of missing planets to transport the Earth in ''[[The Stolen Earth (TV story)|The Stolen Earth]]'' and ''[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]'', one of which was named [[Callufrax Minor]] seemingly in reference to the planet. | Calufrax and the other carefully balanced planets inspired the Daleks' use of missing planets to transport the Earth in ''[[The Stolen Earth (TV story)|The Stolen Earth]]'' and ''[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]'', one of which was named [[Callufrax Minor]] seemingly in reference to the planet. | ||
