The ancient Time Lords fought the [[Eternal War]], ([[TV]]: ''[[State of Decay (TV story)|State of Decay]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Pit (novel)|The Pit]]'') [[Racnoss Wars]] ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Empire of the Racnoss (audio story)|Empire of the Racnoss]]'') and the [[Time Wars]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[4-D War (comic story)|4-D War]]'', ''[[Black Sun Rising (comic story)|Black Sun Rising]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[Sky Pirates! (novel)|Sky Pirates!]]'', ''[[River of Time (short story)|River of Time]], ''[[AUDIO]]'': [[Enemy Lines (audio story)|Enemy Lines]]'') Rassilon also led the Time Lords against the [[Ravenous]], killing most of the species but sparing one family to maintain the moral high ground, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Deeptime Frontier (audio story)|Deeptime Frontier]]'') and oversaw the [[Alliance of Races]]'s campaigns against the [[Hyperion (species)|Hyperions]] and [[Cybock Imperium]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Terrorformer (comic story)|Terrorformer]]'', ''[[Gangland (comic story)|Gangland]]'')

The Time Lords faced numerous crises during the Doctor's era. One account claimed the Doctor departed Gallifrey after a failed revolution. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Birth of a Renegade (short story)|Birth of a Renegade]]'') After the Doctor was [[The Doctor's trial (The War Games)|tried]] and [[Exile on Earth|exiled]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The War Games (TV story)|The War Games]]'') the Time Lords faced a [[First Omega Crisis|crisis]] when their power was drained by [[Omega]] forcing them to rely on three incarnations of the Doctor to save them, after which they restored his freedom. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Three Doctors (TV story)|The Three Doctors]]'') Greater crises followed with [[Goth]]'s assassination of the President and {{Pratt}}'s subsequent attempt to use the [[Eye of Harmony]] which destroyed half the Capitol, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Deadly Assassin (TV story)|The Deadly Assassin]]'') an [[Sontaran invasion of Gallifrey|invasion]] by the [[Vardan]]s and [[Sontaran]]s, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Invasion of Time (TV story)|The Invasion of Time]]'') the [[Crisis of Gin-Seng]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Erasure (audio story)|Erasure]]'') a [[Second Omega Crisis|second manifestation]] of Omega ([[TV]]: ''[[Arc of Infinity (TV story)|Arc of Infinity]]'') and President [[Borusa]]'s plot to claim immortality. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'') Finally the High Council's cover-up of a theft from the Matrix by [[Operation Ravolox|relocating Earth]] and subsequent [[The Doctor's trial (The Mysterious Planet)|trial]] of the Doctor for discovering this injustice triggered a revolution on Gallifrey. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Ultimate Foe (TV story)|The Ultimate Foe]]'')  

Readily able to leave the pocket universe but unable to confirm which reality was [[N-Space]], the Time Lords took control of a [[time field]] in a nearby universe, through which they broadcasted [[the Question]] from the planet [[Trenzalore]], hoping that the Doctor would hear their call and confirm that it was safe to return. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Brief History of Time Lords (novel)|A Brief History of Time Lords]]'') This resulted in the [[Siege of Trenzalore]], the Doctor spending the next nine centuries defending the Time Lords from the [[New Dalek Paradigm]] threatening to cause a new time war. At the behest of [[Clara Oswald]], the Time Lords saved the Doctor from what would have been his thirteenth and final death by granting him a new cycle of [[regeneration]]s. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]'') Confirming that he'd found the right universe, Rassilon returned Gallifrey to N-Space but moved it to the [[end of the universe]] for protection, at the same time locking the [[Twelfth Doctor]] in his [[confession dial]] to learn about [[the Hybrid]]. The Doctor eventually escaped, [[Coup against Rassilon|overthrew Rassilon]], and used Time Lord technology to save Clara Oswald before fleeing Gallifrey once more in [[Clara's TARDIS|another stolen TARDIS]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Hell Bent (TV story)|Hell Bent]]'')
