Theory:Timeline - Raxas Alliance

This page lists appearances of Raxas Alliance species, most notably the Raxacoricofallapatorian Slitheen family, in chronological order. This timeline is based upon observations of the Doctor Who universe and the events that occur during each of these stories. From these observations we have attempted to build a concise timeline. It is assumed that for each novel, comic, audio or television series, their published, broadcast or numbered order is the order they occur in.

Limiting factors
Initially, the Slitheen wore skin suits made from bulky humanoids, with their compression field having the side effect of "gas exchange". (TV: Aliens of London/World War Three) Later, the "slim-line" technology to fit inside smaller lifeforms, as well as eliminating the gas exchange issue, was developed by the Blathereen and subsequently stolen by the Slitheen, who used them as early as 2008. (TV: The Lost Boy/PROSE: The Lost Boy) However, other Slitheen continued to use the older compression technology. (TV: From Raxacoricofallapatorius with Love, The Gift)

Though the Slitheen typically use skin suits created from those they kill, they are able to create synthetic skin suits by 3764. (COMIC: Doctormania)

As late as the 2000s, the Slitheen were sentenced to death. (TV: Boom Town) At some point in the future, however, this sentence is overturned and replaced by incarceration. (AUDIO: The Taste of Death)

The originally law-abiding Blathereen, regarded as "do-gooders" in the 2000s, (TV: The Gift) eventually emerge as the dominant criminal family of Raxacoricofallapatorius, usurping the Slitheen by 2501. (PROSE: The Monsters Inside)
