[[Andra'ath]], of the Quill, was aware of [[Gallifrey]], the [[Time Lord]]s, and the [[Last Great Time War]] against the [[Dalek]]s in contrast to Charlie, who was unfamiliar with the Daleks until he encountered one on Earth following Rhodia's civil war.

According to [[Charlie Smith|Charlie]], Prince of [[Rhodia]], they mismanaged their economy, and grew resentful of the [[Rhodian]]s' success. Miss Quill added, though, that the Rhodians ate up all of the planet's resources, leaving them with little to work with.

The two peoples were eventually at war with each other. The Rhodians won. The punishment they received was considered cruel by Miss Quill, but Charlie found it just: they released a creature into their brains called an [[Arn (species)|arn]], which, once it dug itself in, would [[telepathy|telepathically]] link the host to a particular Rhodian, and force them to become their effective [[slave]].
Charlie stated his belief that the Rhodians did their best to help, but Andra'ath argued that in doing so, the Rhodians had made the Quill dependent on them and that they could never be able to properly recover. Later, Andra'ath would be able to show Charlie how the Rhodians had put the Quill into a state of poverty.
 
Regardless of either species' perception, the two were eventually at war with each other. The Rhodians won and Andra'ath, along with other key members of the Quill side, were punished in a particular way: the Rhodians released a creature into their brains called an [[Arn (species)|arn]], which, once it dug itself in, would [[telepathy|telepathically]] link the host to a particular Rhodian, and force them to become their effective [[slave]].
