'''The Master's first TARDIS''' was the [[TARDIS]] with which [[the Master]] originally left [[Gallifrey]]. It was one of the first two TARDISes ever stolen, alongside [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the Doctor's]]. Although they used this ship across several incarnations, the Master did not remain faithful to her the same way [[the Doctor]] did to [[the Doctor's TARDIS|their own TARDIS]], and eventually began using [[the Master's TARDIS|several other TARDISes]].

Like the [[First Doctor]], an {{Dreyfus|n=early incarnation}} of [[the Master]] had stolen his TARDIS when he decided to leave Gallifrey. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Destination Wars (audio story)|The Destination Wars]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Doomsday Weapon (novelisation)|Doctor Who and the Doomsday Weapon]]'') In fact, [[Keeper (Doctor Who and the Doomsday Weapon)|the Keeper]], who remembered the Master's theft of his TARDIS, believed this theft and the Doctor's theft of his own TARDIS had been the only two such thefts in recorded [[Gallifreyan history]]. [[The War Chief]], suggested in this account ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Doomsday Weapon (novelisation)|Doctor Who and the Doomsday Weapon]]'') and others to have been an early incarnation of the Master, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Terror of the Autons (novelisation)|Doctor Who and the Terror of the Autons]]'') likewise told the [[Second Doctor]] that he believed they were the only two [[Renegade Time Lord]]s currently travelling the universe in TARDISes stolen from Gallifrey; he told him that he indeed had [[the War Chief's TARDIS|a TARDIS]] stashed away somewhere. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the War Games (novelisation)|Doctor Who and the War Games]]'') Another account, however, held the War Chief and the Master to be distinct, and likewise distinguished between the War Chief's stolen [[Model 43]], and the TARDIS with which the Master ran away from Gallifrey, which it identified as a "[[Type 40]] [[Type 40 Model B|Model B]]".

He attempted to use it to break out of the time lock and escape the Time War, only to realise that this meant he was erasing the period of his life in the late War when he'd originally recovered this TARDIS and grown the tumour.

The [[paradox]]ical backfire caused the Master to [[Retro-regeneration|retro-regenerate]] into {{Jacobi|n=his previous incarnation}}, who swore revenge on the Doctor for tricking him into this predicament. As the Master completed his retro-regeneration, the ship tumbled through the Vortex, its own [[outer plasmic shell]] set ablaze. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Fast Asleep (comic story)|Fast Asleep]]'')

According to one account, the Master's TARDIS ended up stranded on [[Earth]], and took on the [[War Master]]'s form. Looking for a new [[pilot]], it lured [[student]]s from [[St Simeon's College]], [[University of Cambridge|Cambridge]] inside, ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Signal and I'll Come to You (audio story)}}) promising "[[stories]] of the macabre" ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|His Close Companions (audio story)}}) over a roaring [[fire]]. These stories retold adventures in its [[databank]]s involving the War Doctor.
On its "last chance", after telling one final story, it revealed the truth it to [[student (Signal and I'll Come to You)|a young student]] in the [[21st century]]. When she would not consent to becoming the ship's pilot, it trapped her inside. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Signal and I'll Come to You (audio story)}})

The Master's original TARDIS was mistreated by her pilot, who occasionally experimented on her for his own gain in ways [[the Doctor]] found abhorrent. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Running to Stay Still (comic story)|Running to Stay Still]]'') This drove the TARDIS to eventually rebel against {{Delgado}}, aiding [[Susan]]'s psychic attack on him by bonding with her through the [[telepathic circuits]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Legacy of the Daleks (novel)|Legacy of the Daleks]]'') Howevery, towards the end of the [[Last Great Time War]], the [[Time Lord]]s apparently deemed the TARDIS to be a dangerous criminal in her own right, trapping her in [[Shada]], their highest-security prison, originally designed to contain power-hungry Time Lords who had lost their minds. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The One (comic story)|The One]]'')

By the time she was abandoned by the [[War Master]], the TARDIS had become [[sadism|sadistic]] and manipulative, taking after her master, who she longed to emulate. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Signal and I'll Come to You (audio story)}})
