The '''Pre-Universe''' was the [[Universe]], perhaps the most recent of many universes, that came before [[Normal Space]], the home universe of [[the Doctor]]. After the destruction of the Pre-Universe, some [[:Category:Pre-Universe species|species]] found their way into N-Space, and some (such as the [[Great Old One]]s and [[the Beast]]) had [[god]]-like powers. Thus, some of the most powerful beings in existence came from before the universe that was home to the [[Time Lord]]s was created, making them older even than the Time Lords themselves.

It was said that the Pre-Universe had a pink void, stars shaped like doughnuts and physical laws closer to what might have been understood as [[magic]].

Knowledge of this universe was a closely guarded secret, and was only in the Doctor's possession as a result of his connection to [[the Matrix]] during his time as [[Lord President]]. ([[MA]]: ''[[Millennial Rites]]'', [[DW]]: ''[[The Invasion of Time]]'') Even then, the knowledge would ultimately have proven temporary: in his [[Sixth Doctor|sixth]] and [[Seventh Doctor|seventh]] incarnations, the Doctor was fully conversant with the details and specifics of this universe ([[NA]]: ''[[All-Consuming Fire (novel)|All-Consuming Fire]]'', [[PDA]]: ''[[Synthespians™]]''), whereas by his [[Tenth Doctor|tenth]] it would almost be an article of religious faith to him that such a universe could not have existed.

Amongst the races that claimed to be older than the universe itself were the [[Great Old One]]s such as [[Azathoth]], [[Yog-Sothoth]] and [[Shub-Niggurath]]. ([[NA]]: ''[[All-Consuming Fire (novel)|All-Consuming Fire]]'', [[MA]]: ''[[Millennial Rites]]'') On many planets, these beings became part of the legends and religions. The Great Old Ones were worshipped by the first intelligent species to evolve on Earth - the [[Silurian]]s. ([[NA]]: ''[[All-Consuming Fire (novel)|All-Consuming Fire]]'') It is unclear whether the Great Old Ones were a single species, or merely a term to describe any unimaginably powerful being that was able to escape the Pre-Universe into ours. | Amongst the races that claimed to be older than the universe itself were the [[Great Old One]]s such as [[Azathoth]], [[Yog-Sothoth]] and [[Shub-Niggurath]].
