Worldbuilding[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The Time War was over by the end of the Seventh Doctor's life with the Master's trial, but the Catalyst changed time to restart it, giving the Eighth Doctor amnesia.
- The Seventh Doctor was given great weapons by the Time Lords, and used them against their enemies in the Time War.
- Charley, C'rizz, Lucie, Tamsin, and Molly are mentioned, but their natures are unclear.
- Grace Holloway and Chang Lee may be immortal fixed points in time.
- Cass was born in the Earth Empire.
- In timelines where the Time War had less influence, Cass's spirit of adventure led her to joining the Eighth Doctor as a companion. However, as her era got more grim, she became more cynical until the events of the Eighth Doctor's regeneration.
