There were several possibilities for the vessel's origins. ([[GAME]]: {{cs|Attack of the Cybermen (game)}}) By one account, it constructed by the [[humanoid]] [[people]] of the [[planet]] [[Hatre Sedtry]] in [[Repton's Cluster]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Attack of the Cybermen (novelisation)|Attack of the Cybermen]]'') The vessel might have been a commercial timeship from the [[52nd century]], similar to the [[SS Madame de Pompadour]]. It might have been owned by the [[Torchwood Archive]], being what was grown from [[Jack Harkness's TARDIS coral]]. Stratton might have been the final descendant of [[Henry van Statten]], with the time machine being built from the cumulative work of the [[Van Statten family]]. ([[GAME]]: {{cs|Attack of the Cybermen (game)}}) By another account, it was a [[Time Agency]] exploratory vessel used to observe the [[Last Great Time War]].

Whilst on a [[flight]] test, the craft crash landed on [[Telos]], resulting in the [[death]] of the flight engineer as well as Stratton and Bates' capture by the [[Cybermen]]. The Cybermen used the vessel to travel to [[1986]] to try to change history. They hid the vessel on the dark side of [[the Moon]]. When the vessel returned to Telos, Stratton and Bates died trying to get to it.
