The Eternity Circle | |||
The Temporal Cannon was developed on [[Moldox]] by the [[Dalek]] [[Eternity Circle]] in the closing stages of the [[Last Great Time War]]. The weapon was affixed to new [[Temporal Weapon Dalek]]s during its testing sessions, being fielded alongside the [[Skaro Degradations]]. One of the new units used its weapon to erase [[Finch (Engines of War)|Finch]] but was destroyed when [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] crashed into it before it could fire on [[Cinder]]. Concurrently, the Eternity Circle demonstrated the Cannon to the [[Dalek Emperor in the Last Great Time War|Dalek Emperor]] by firing it on [[Jocelyn Harris]]. Once testing was complete, the Daleks intended to use their [[progenitor]]s to seed a new [[paradigm]] of Temporal Weapon Daleks across the universe and construct a large scale version of it to fire at [[Gallifrey]] and erase the [[Time Lord]]s from history. | |||
As the TARDIS recharged, the [[War Doctor]] convinced Cinder to help him investigate the weapon's development in the city of [[Andor]]. Upon discovering the Cannon's capabilities, the Doctor and Cinder made for Gallifrey to warn the [[High Council]] of the Dalek plan. Once he had fled, the Daleks began construction on the large scale cannon, mining energy from the [[Tantalus Eye]] to fuel and harvesting three [[moon]]s as a superstructure. | |||
When the High Council was informed of the Dalek plan, they conspired to use the [[Tear of Isha]] to close the Tantalus Eye. This led to the [[Battle for the Tantalus Eye]]. The Doctor won this battle by first disposing of the Tear at the [[end of the universe]] and then having [[Borusa]] use his powers to erase the Eternity Circle from existence, erasing the Temporal Cannon from history.
