Retro-genocide: Difference between revisions

According to old lore, "[[fallen world]]s" were taken over and turned into huge torture chambers by the [[Yssgaroth]] durign their [[Eternal War|war]] with the [[Great House]]s. As no traces of such atrocities remained in the subsequent version of history, it was commonly speculated that these worlds' existence was "retro-annulled" as an act of mercy by the Houses when they won the War, for all that such actions would later be made illegal in their culture. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Book of the War (novel)|The Book of the War]]'') Some accounts claimed instead that the depiction of the [[Great Vampire]]s as wanton monsters was mere [[propaganda]] and the Vampires actually had a much more sympathetic agenda than arbitrary sadism, suggesting no such worlds may have ever existed in the first place.

The [[Last Great Time War]] between the Time Lords and the [[Dalek]]s erased numerous [[species]] including the [[Malfinion]]s, [[Hederon]]s, [[Scarbian]]s, who were so completely removed from time that, [[Post-Time War universe|after the war ended]], their names only survived as footnotes in old Time Lord records, later being mentioned in a [[Book (The Whoniverse)|historical chronicle]] as well. In fact, no one in the universe even remembered these races existed. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Whoniverse (novel)|The Whoniverse]]'') Several races which were erased from existence during the war persisted as echoes displaced from [[time]] on a plane of non-reality, banding together to become the [[Bygone Horde]]. The Ninth Doctor thwarted their plan to return to existence, as it would have entailed the sacrifice of the [[human]] race. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Other Side (audio story)|The Other Side]]'')
