Swee

Swee was an excitable, carefree young Guerner born during the species' existence on the planet Rimba.

Swee greeted the Second Doctor when he actually arrived on Rimba after his escape from Phlok. At the time, Swee was in the process of burying scrolls recounting his life on Rimba under his house, as was traditional in expectation of the nomadic Guerners' abandoning a planet to move on to another one. The Doctor and Swee became close friends during the Doctor's two-week stay on Rimba.

As was the way of the Guerners, they then placed themselves in suspended animation for the millennia-spanning journey to their next planet, erasing all of their memories and personalities in the process. Upon reaching their destination, they awakened under threat from the Sto-cat, with the Guerner who had formerly been the Doctor's friend becoming the cold war leader Nass. (PROSE: The Sleeping Beast)
