Galactic Wars

The Galactic Wars were a series of galactic-level conflicts. Because of the number of deaths during the wars, graveworlds were set up to honour the fallen. Graveworld 909 was established during the Seventh Galactic War. (COMIC: Onomatopoeia)


 * The "Galactic Wars" may have been a general term to cover the various Dalek and Cyberman conflicts.

Behind the scenes
In a 1966 production note, a "galactic war" is said to be the cause of the First Doctor and Susan Foreman's departure from their then unnamed home planet, and one of the "unendurable" events of the Doctor's life which are re-lived during the "metaphysical change". (REF: The Second Doctor Handbook)
