Sarn (planet)


 * For the individual of the same name, see Sarn.

Sarn was a volcanic planet which at one point was a colony of Trion. The Trions mainly used Sarn for its regenerating Numismaton Flame, but over time the Trions neglected Sarn and began using it as a dumping ground for political prisoners.

The people of Sarn descended from what was a relatively high-technology society into tribalism and superstition. They worshiped Logar God of the Fire Mountain, and sacrificed unbelievers in fire.

When Turlough and the Doctor went to Sarn, Turlough sent a distress call to Trion, requesting assistance for the people of Sarn, who were threatened by a volcanic eruption. (DW: Planet of Fire)

Behind the Scenes

 * The Eleventh Doctor, through the Dreamlord's manipulation, visited an "old people's home" named SARN in (DW: Amy's Choice), but it is not known whether this is connected in any respect to the planet Sarn. It is possible that, since the Dream Lord is the actually the Doctor in a way. That he gave the old folks home the name of "SARN" in the Dreamworld as a sort of joke.
