Morestran

Morestrans were a space-faring near-Human race native to the planet Morestra.

History
When their homeworld's star began to die, Morestran's scientists began searching for new energy sources. Sorenson led an expedition to the planet Zeta Minor, where he hoped to harness the power of the anti-matter he had discovered there. The other members of his team were killed, along with much of the crew of the ship sent to rescue them, until the Doctor saved them by returning the anti-matter to the planet. (DW: Planet of Evil)


 * Since several Morestrans had Human-sounding names such as Sorenson, it is possible that they were descendants of a Human colony rather than an unrelated race.
