History[[edit] | [edit source]]
In the last months of the Last Great Time War, the War Doctor enlisted the help of Dorium Maldovar to help him destroy the thirteen weapons factories of Villengard before the Dalek Fleet arrived to take control of them. Using a molecular fruit bomb, the Doctor transformed the factories into palm trees, creating a banana grove. (COMIC: The Whole Thing's Bananas [+]Loading...["The Whole Thing's Bananas (comic story)"]) The Ninth Doctor used this event as a justification for why Jack Harkness should carry a banana instead of a sonic blaster. (TV: The Doctor Dances [+]Loading...["The Doctor Dances (TV story)"])
Eventually, the "good" Dalek Rusty came to the ruins of Villengard's weapons factories, where he set himself up inside a tower to fight off other Daleks seeking to destroy him. The ruins became infested with Kaled mutants without their casings. The Twelfth Doctor visited Rusty to access the Pathweb and learn the identity of Testimony's glass avatar.
