Dark Times

The Dark Times was one of the earliest aeons in the history of the universe.

Beings
Occurring after Gallifrey was born, (COMIC: Agent Provocateur) the Tenth Doctor described this as a time of chaos "before our reality" when the Nestenes and Great Vampires flourished, (TV: The Infinite Quest) as well as the Carrionites. (TV: The Shakespeare Code) The Carrionites waged a war with the Hervoken. (PROSE: Forever Autumn) The Eternals were present during this time period, banishing both the Carrionites and the Hervoken to the Deep Darkness but some of them escaped. (TV: The Shakespeare Code, PROSE: Forever Autumn) The Racnoss were alive during this time period, with the last-named species having its defeat at the hands of the Fledgling Empires. (TV: The Runaway Bride) The Mandragora Helix also originated during this era. (PROSE: Beautiful Chaos) The Great Old Ones were also present in the universe at this time. It was during this time period, too, that the legendary spaceship Infinite was created. (TV: The Infinite Quest) The Kamishi, also known as the First Race, one of the earliest known civilisations, lived in this time period as well. (AUDIO: The Rulers of the Universe)
