Jelsen

The once civilised and populated planet of Jelsen was home to The Lords of Jelson emerald-robed creatures with round heads and glowing eyes.who, by using advanced technology housed in a tower, are able to trap passing spacecraft. The trapped spaceships and their crew were then forced into competing in a race through the city across to a finish line - simply for the Lords entertainment.

To make the game more ‘exciting’, the Lords (from a control centre), manipulated the game throwing in additional obstacles for the competitors, like a screen of N-fish (giant green square stingrays but with tails as thin as hair) with which have to be navigated through. There is only one game winner with the loser trapped in a ghost-like state and posing further hazards for the competitors to navigate.

The game was suspended for a while when the Doctor and Heather McCrimmon engineered a draw and disrupted the capture system, by crashing a ship into it. In the disruption the Doctor was able to bring back the crew and ships of previous gameplayers who were then able to make their escape. (DWAM: The Highest Stake)
