Ninth Sontaran Battle Fleet

The Ninth Sontaran Battle Fleet was a Sontaran military fleet of ships commanded by Group Marshal Stike.

Group Marshal Stike fought in the Ninth Sontaran Battle Fleet on the Madillon Cluster. The Ninth Sontaran Battle Fleet attacked Space Station Chimera and killed nearly all aboard. Stike joined his subordinate Major Varl in Seville where together, they worked with Dastari towards putting together a laboratory where Dastari could work towards perfecting the Kartz-Reimer module, a crude prototype space-time vessel to assist (as ever) in defeating the Rutans in the endless Rutan-Sontaran War. To this end, the two Sontarans had captured the second incarnation of the Doctor and kept him in the cellar of a mansion. In particular, they wished to find about the Doctor's Rassilon Imprimatur and enable the Kartz-Reimer module to work.

The long-suffering Stike first got stabbed in the leg by Jamie McCrimmon, attacked by coronic acid, partly disintegrated by the time vessel, which the sixth incarnation of the Doctor had sabotaged, and finally blown up by his own spacecraft, which had been set to self-destruct. (TV: The Two Doctors)
