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) and the Vampires caused mass destruction and chaos throughout the cosmos. (TV: State of Decay)

The Eternals were present during this time period, banishing both the Carrionites and the Hervoken to the Deep Darkness, although some of them escaped. (TV: The Shakespeare Code, PROSE: Forever Autumn)

The Racnoss were alive during this time period, with the Time Lords' Fledgling Empires defeating them, during the Racnoss Wars. (TV: The Runaway Bride, AUDIO: Empire of the Racnoss)

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)
