Moonbase


 * For the television story, see The Moonbase.



The Moonbase was a small scientific base built on the Moon during the 21st century, with a limited crew of scientists. It was under the control of International Space Command.

Circa the 2050s the Gravitron (a device capable of gravitationally manipulating the tides on Earth and through them its weather) was installed there. By the 2070s it was connected to the Earth by monthly shuttle rocket runs.

In 2070 the base seemed to be struck by a disease, but this was in fact a prelude to an attack by Cybermen. the Cybermen wanted to take the base in order to use the gravitron to destroy life on Earth and eliminate it as a threat. However, they failed, and though the normal operations of the Gravitron were briefly disturbed, eventually it resumed normal operations. (DW: The Moonbase)
