Terminus

Terminus was a space station located at the exact known centre of the universe.

History
Terminus was used by a company to treat Lazar's Disease. The treatment involved using the radiation from Terminus's engines in uncontrolled doses to remove the disease, often with a lethal amount of radiation.

The Lazars were transported to Terminus using computer controlled ships with no living crew, only robotic attendants, Terminus on the other hand was crewed by slave labor, the Vanir, whose continued work for The Company was assured by the strict control of the drug Hydromel, which protected them from Lazar's Disease. (DW: Terminus)

The Doctor theorized that prior to it being discovered and used by The Company, Terminus was once capable of time travel and that having journeyed to the beginning of time a dump of unstable fuel caused the explosion which created the universe, thus Terminus lies at the centre of the known universe and were a similar fuel dump to take place again, the resulting explosion would destroy the universe. The control centre of Terminus was badly damaged and the main computer faulty, consequently a near cataclysmic fuel dump was authorized but prevented by the Garm, the only being onboard with the strength to operate the manual control (DW: Terminus)

The radiation leak on Terminus meant that a large portion of the ship's interior was isolated and named the "forbidden zone," anyone other than the Garm who entered the zone would be subjected to lethal amounts of radiation which could only be cured through intensive decontamination (DW: Terminus)

Nyssa discovered that with the help of the Garm and the Vanir, Terminus could be made into a functional hospital and the treatment for Lazar's Disease could be perfected. Consequently Nyssa chose to stay on Terminus when the TARDIS left, to assist in the curing of the Lazar's and to help the Vanir produce their own Hydromel (DW: Terminus)
