Elsehwere on Earth, the underwater base Poseidon 8 was invaded by the Vashta Nerada, infected with an illness and attacked by a rampaging alien shark after the USS Eldridge nearby released a burst of vortron radiation.

The Great Recession occurred during this century and went on to affect much of Mutter's Spiral.

Although the plan was altered so as to create several artificial suns and place them in orbit around Mars, it never got off the drawing board due to the high financial cost involved. (BFA: Deimos)

During this century, the Fourth Doctor travelled to the planet Aprilia III in a parallel universe. While there, he met Captain James T.
