Mira (planet)

Mira is a planet in the same general vicinity of space as Kembel. It is a fog laden, marshy world, covered in scrub vegetation. Mira is the homeworld of the Visians, an invisible predatory species.

In the year 4000 CE Mira was the selected destination for a test of a new long-range transmat system conducted by the Earth scientists Froyn and Rhynmal. The test was originally intended to send two lab mice to Mira, but the Doctor, Steven Taylor, and Sara Kingdom were also transmatted there when they accidentally barged into the test chamber at the last moment. Because the cage containing the mice also contained a transmitter, the Dalek taskforce on Kembel were able to track the Doctor to Mira and dispatch a taskforce to capture him and retrieve the taranium he had stolen from them. However, a battle between the Daleks and the Visians enabled the Doctor and his companions to escape in the confusion, and they eventually escaped from Mira by stealing the Daleks' ship ("The Daleks' Master Plan").
