Phaedra (The Labyrinthine Web)

Phaedra was a Time Lord colonist at the Fledgling Empire outpost on the Gallifreyan colony planet of Trakkiney during the Racnoss Wars.

When a group of Racnoss led by Cob-Commander Messothel attacked the outpost on the planet, Phaedra was one of about ninety Time Lord survivors who were imprisoned by the Racnoss. She participated in the escape from imprisonment and defeat of the Racnoss, led by the scientist Fysus. (PROSE: The Labyrinthine Web) A figure from an early Time Lord myth, it was unclear how much of her history as recounted in myth was true. (PROSE: Introduction) The Gallifreyan people's early history was so distant and shrouded in mystery that later generations surmised some of their myths were in fact history, and some of their history was actually myth.
