51st century

Another Ice Age affects Earth during this time. (DW: The Talons of Weng-Chiang, PDA: Emotional Chemistry). Earth began to be abandoned by the rich and powerful as the sun goes nova. Those left behind have fractured into millions of nation-states battling through the ether in the Transmat Wars. (DWM: The Keep). About the year 5000 the planet is organised into "Alliances"

By this time humanity first started to develop time travel. The Supreme Alliance, at the initiative of it's minister of justice Magnus Greel, developed time travel a method based on Double nexus particles and zygma beam, but this proved to be a cull de sac of which nothing good came. Magnus Greel was the first person to travel trough time, but became horribly disfigured for it. (DW: The Talons of Weng-Chiang)
 * nonetheless, the problems with time travel as seen in Talons seem to have been solved by the time the time agency was established.

The Time Agency operated out of this century. However, it is closed down again in same century, and only two agents were left. (DW: The Talons of Weng-Chiang, The Empty Child, TW: Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang'')

The Doctor called this era a scientific dark age.
