Apalapucia

Apalapucia was a paradise planet and the home world of the Apalapucians.

Astronomical Data
Apalapucia was a fabulously beautiful planet of soaring spires, silver colonnades and the mirrored Glasmir mountains. The planet had a pinkish-purple sky and an oxygen-rich atmosphere.

According to the Doctor, it was voted the #2 destination for the discerning intergalactic traveller, #1 being a 'Planet of the Coffee Shops'. (DW:The Girl Who Waited)

HISTORY
By the time the Doctor, Amy Pond landed on Apalapucia, the planet had been infected by an outbreak of Chen7, a disease fatal to two-hearted races such as Time Lords and the native Apalapucians.

The Two Streams Facility was set up to care for the infected population, and through the use of a divergent time-stream, allowed them to live through their entire life in a day. The facility was staffed by the Handbots, who patrolled the facility, offering medication to its inhabitants both for medicinal purposes and as a means of disabling intruders.

To pass the time, patients of the facility had access to various entertainment facilities: an aquarium, an art gallery, a cinema, access to a vast garden with bizarre and beautiful topiary and portals to the planet's famous 'Glasmir Mountains' and 'Rollercoaster Zone' amusement complex.



The status of the planet and its people after the TARDIS crew depart is unknown but it is unlikely the native population survived the disease. (DW:The Girl Who Waited)
