Sontar


 * For General Sontar, see separate article

Sontar was the home planet of the Sontarans.

Astronomical Data
Sontar originally orbited its star like any other planet, but by 1609 it had been modiefed so that the star orbited Sontar, as a more "logical" pattern. (MA: The Empire of Glass) Sontar had gravity six times higher than that of Earth's; this is said to be how the Sontarans develop such strong physiques and muscles. From space, it was a reddish colour. (WEB: Captain Jack's Monster Files: Sontarans) Other sources showed it green, with vast metal structures covering whole continents. (DWM: The Betrothal of Sontar)

Somewhere on the planet was the Hall of the Fallen and the Brave. (SJA: The Last Sontaran)

History
The name Sontar was included in the Sontaran battle chant, "Sontar, ha." (DW: The Sontaran Stratagem)

By the 17th century, the Sontarans had moved their star system so that their star orbited Sontar. (MA: The Empire of Glass)

Circa 2009, the Sontarans chanted the name of their world to work up a battle-frenzy. (DW: The Poison Sky)

Circa the 25th or 26th century, the Sontarans' enemies, the Rutans destroyed Sontar with photonic bombs, leading to the dispersal of Sontaran troops across their home galaxy of Mutter's Spiral. (DWM: Pureblood)

Donna's World
In the parallel world where Donna Noble never met the Doctor, Captain Jack Harkness and Torchwood Three moved to stop the Sontaran fleet. The Torchwood team were killed while Jack Harkness was transported to Sontar. (DW: Turn Left)
