Stike

Group Marshal Stike severed in the Ninth Sontaran Battle Group and fought in the Madillon Cluster.

Stike joined his subordinate Major Varl in Seville where together they worked with Dastari towards putting together a laboratory where Dastari could perfect the Kartz-Reimer module, a crude prototype space-time vessel to assist in defeating the Rutans in the endless Sontaran-Rutan War. To this end, the two Sontarans had captured the second incarnation of the Doctor and kept him in the cellar of a hacienda. In particular, they wished to find about the Doctor's symbiotic nuclei and enable the Kartz-Reimer module to work.

The long-suffering Stike was stabbed in the leg by Jamie McCrimmon, attacked with coronic acid, partly disintegrated by the time vessel which the Sixth Doctor had sabotaged, and finally blown up by his own spacecraft, which had been set to self-destruct. Shockeye recovered one of his legs. (TV: The Two Doctors)

Marshall Stike was still remembered four centuries later, as the Sontarans knew capturing the Doctor's TARDIS would be useless without the Fifth Doctor. (PROSE: Lords of the Storm)

Behind the scenes

 * The Stike costume was later used for Group Marshall Nathan in A Fix with Sontarans.
 * In NOTVALID: Strax Field Report: The Doctors, Strax recalls that "the Lord and Hero" Stike served justice to the Second Doctor.
