Ood Operations

Ood Operations (AKA the "Double O") was a Human run corporation during the Second Great and Bountiful Human Empire that had had sold Ood servants. It centrally bred and processed Ood on a large facility on the Ood Sphere, and then shipped them to Ood distribution centres throughout the three galaxies, from which they were sold into slavery. At some point it was said every human had an Ood servant, and they filled all kinds of functions, from household, pilot, personal trainer to military models.

Ood Operations was established in 3914 and existed for about 200 years, apparently in the hands of one family. Its last chief executive Klineman Halpen was born into the business.

The company was shut down when in 4126 Ood infected with the Red-eye virus revolted and began to kill the staff with their translation orbs.

It was revealed that the company had made the Ood subservient by removing their secondary external brains and by placing a circle of energy pylons around the Ood Hive mind which worked as a telepathic inhibitor. Halpen's personal Ood Sigma had been dosing Halpen with a solution mixed with hair tonic that transformed him into an Ood.

The Doctor and Donna shut down the telepathic inhibitor and restored the Ood's ability to 'sing' telepathically again. The Ood song called out for all Ood that were off-planet to return home. With the Ood free and most of the company's staff dead or fleeing off-planet from the Galactic Police, Ood Operations was shut down and the base was abandoned, allowing the Ood to be free and live naturally again.
