Great Purge of Yon:556

The Great Purge of Yon:556 was the event in which the Slitheen family were forced off their homeworld of Raxacoricofallapatorius.

Background
Over many centuries, the Family Slitheen established themselves as a criminal clan. (PROSE: ) Meanwhile, Raxacoricofallapatorius was the most admired planet in the Raxas Alliance, (TV: ) with their twin planet Clom, (TV: ) as well as Clix and Raxacoricovarlonpatorius all taking their lead from it. One of the planet's most respected families were the Blathereen (TV: ) who, along with the Rackateen, were cousins to the Slitheen. (PROSE: ) However, this changed as the Slitheen infiltrated all levels of government on Raxacoricofallapatorius, subtly controlling the planet's off-world distribution of the valuable spice, Offich. They became so deeply embedded in government that they threatened to tarnish their entire species with their crimes. (PROSE: ) Ultimately, the Slitheen bribed their way into power, ruining their planet's good name. (TV: )

The Purge
Eventually, the economy on Raxacoricofallapatorius crashed, leading to the rest of the Raxacoricofallapatorian population rising up against and deposing the Slitheen (TV: ) as they were exposed, shamed, and arrested en masse in the Great Purge of Yon:556, with many fleeing their homeworld (PROSE: ) to the farthest corners of the galaxy whilst some faced justice. (TV: ) The Slitheen found themselves forced out by the Judoon, whilst holding the Blathereen and Hostrozeen families in contempt. (TV: ) The entire clan, including every cousin, step-sister, half-mother and fiancée, thought to number more than 550 (PROSE: ) were tried and found guilty, in perpetuity. The surviving Slitheen were given the death sentence in their absence, with no chance of appeal. (PROSE:, TV: )

Aftermath and legacy
The Great Purge of Yon:556 was acknowledged in Jane's Book of Planets. (PROSE: ) Eventually, the death sentence was lifted, and captured Slitheen were incarcerated, as was done when the Hazrateen apprehended Slitheen operating on MXQ1. (AUDIO: )
