Battle

A battle was a confrontation between opposing forces.

According to River Song, King Hydroflax was known to end his battles by eating his enemies, dead or alive. (TV: The Husbands of River Song)

Sontarans found great honour in battle. In Sontaran military culture, the only honourable death was sacrifice or obliteration, in the course of a battle, in the name of the Sontaran Empire. (TV: The Time Warrior, The Sontaran Stratagem; AUDIO: The Eternal Battle, et al.)
