These events were never clarified in an in-universe narrative. However, as documented above, the less successful N-Space versions of the Warpsmiths ultimately appeared in official ''[[Doctor Who]]'' media, with ''[[Enemy Lines (audio story)|Enemy Lines]]'' further displaying their hostility towards the Time Lords. | These events were never clarified in an in-universe narrative.
