The planet '''Ember''' was a [[human]] [[colony]] dating back to the [[38th century]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Top of the Tree (audio story)|The Top of the Tree]]'') It was, by the [[44th century]], a foggy [[Victorian era]]-esque planet that came to be controlled by the Sardick family in the [[44th century]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[A Christmas Carol (TV story)|A Christmas Carol]]'') It eventually became the refuge of the last [[human]]s in the [[universe]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Singularity (audio story)|Singularity]]'') Using a psi-gate, they sent their minds back to [[21st century]] [[Earth]] and took over the [[Somnus Foundation]]. They wanted to survive the [[end of the universe]] by turning the human race into a [[hive mind|group mind]]. They were defeated by the [[Fifth Doctor]] and [[Turlough]]. Afterwards, the Doctor visited Ember to say goodbye to the dying [[Xen]], the last surviving human in the universe. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Singularity (audio story)|Singularity]]'') | |||

Ember was colonised by [[human]]s in the [[38th century]] with help from the [[Eleventh Doctor]] and a young [[Kazran Sardick]], a native of Ember from several centuries down the line, whom the Doctor had made his [[companion]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Top of the Tree (audio story)|The Top of the Tree]]'') | |||
The [[Eleventh Doctor]] visited the planet when [[Spaceship (A Christmas Carol)|a ship]] containing his [[companion]]s, [[Amy Pond]] and [[Rory Williams]], began to plummet through its atmosphere. The Doctor visited [[Sardicktown]] and convinced [[Kazran Sardick]] to allow the ship to land, but (after rewriting the man's history) he could no longer control the skies. However, they had [[Abigail Pettigrew]] sing for the fish instead, which calmed the atmosphere, enabling the ship to land.

At a later point in universal history, the people of Ember were the last remaining humans in the cosmos.

The name of the planet was not mentioned onscreen in ''[[A Christmas Carol (TV story)|A Christmas Carol]]'', and it is unlikely [[Steven Moffat]] intentionally meant to connect his planet to the one in [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Singularity (audio story)|Singularity]]''. The link was instead drawn in the video game ''[[Worlds in Time (video game)|Worlds in Time]]'', during which the planet was attacked by [[clockwork robots]], and in non-narrative sections of ''[[The Brilliant Book 2012]]''. Although neither of these is a [[Tardis:Valid sources|valid source]], the planet in ''A Christmas Carol'' would definitively be identified as Ember in [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Top of the Tree (audio story)|The Top of the Tree]]''. | |||
