200101

In 200,101, Earth was in ruins and half the world was dead as a result of the Dalek invasion of the past year. As the humans who were left on Earth dealt with starvation and radiation, a rich elite in the space beyond that had always looked out for themselves plotted to exploit them for whatever purposes served them. To that end, Vortia Trear established the Hope Foundation, ostensibly a charity offering to take people off Earth and give them new and better lives. Combined with several starliners and a couple of freight ships, the Game Station was repurposed into Trear Station.

Resurrected from death at the hands of the Daleks and abandoned by the Ninth Doctor, (TV: The Parting of the Ways) Jack Harkness, though recognised as a hero, chose to live as a recluse in a small cabin located a couple of kilometres away from the ruins of the Black Country Dome. Jack was ultimately approached by Silo Crook, an aspiring reporter. Though he vehemently wished to be left alone, both shared a suspicion of the Hope Foundation. Sneaking aboard Trear Station, Jack reunited with Silo and discovered the true nature of the Hope Foundation. In the ensuing revolt, Trear was deposed and the station was left falling to Earth, forcing Jack to land it safely. Back on Earth, Jack, seeing that an abundance of resources was salvaged from the grounded station, was confident that humanity would ultimately rebuild itself. (AUDIO: The Year After I Died) Eventually, Jack left this period to travel back to the past using his vortex manipulator in an attempt to find the Doctor. A result of a malfunction, Jack would end up in 1869 as opposed to the 21st century. (TV: Utopia)
