=== The War Queen of the Nine Gallifreys ===
According to some accounts, Romana continues to lead Gallifrey as the [[War in Heaven]] becomes imminent. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Ancestor Cell}}; {{cs|The Gallifrey Chronicles}}) At this point, however, some accounts suggest that she had instead retired from the Presidency during her 55th year in office. These accounts suggest that [[Romana III's Gallifrey|her Homeworld]] was merely a sheath echo that believed itself to be the original, and that she had left the original Gallifrey of her own accord to keep up the pretense that it was the real one. ([[PROSE]]: {{cite source|Crimes Against History (short story)|var=second edition|namedpart=Modern Times: The Paradox Era}}; {{cs|The Story So Far... (short story)}}) At some point later, she took up the title of 'the War Queen'.

Seizing on the opportunity to develop living time capsules, she dispatched [[Cavis]] and [[Gandar]] to [[Avalon (The Shadows of Avalon)|Avalon]] and eventually turned up herself to take possession of [[Compassion]] after Compassion transformed into a [[TARDIS]]. Romana believed Compassion could give the Time Lords a tactical advantage in the War. Instead, the [[Eighth Doctor]] and [[Fitz]] fled inside Compassion.
