The Doctor and Peri observe that once the Daleks had their plan to steal the Earth's magneticcore in order many other races such as the Cybermen and Sontarans also came to Earth to steal it.
According to the Doctor, the science fictionwriters' handbook defines the stealing of the Earth's magnetic core as "the great cop out".

This navbox is designed to be a concise navigation template to guide users to stories featuring, cameoing, or simply mentioning the "N-Space" version of the real world Doctor Who franchise. Stories about Doctor Who existing in a "meta-fiction universe" or similar should not be entered here.
For the purposes of this list, a "Dalek comic story" is one in which one living, authentic Dalek plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story.
Because of the ubiquity of this race, no attempt will be made here to list every appearance in every medium. Instead, we focus on comic appearances here, and invite you to explore a complete list of appearances elsewhere.
For the purposes of this list, a "Cyberman story" is one in which one living, authentic Cyberman plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. For this reason, stories such as Dalek are absent due to only featuring deceased Cybermen on display. Stories like Carnival of Monsters, A Good Man Goes to War and The Vanquishers are also not included due to the Cybermen's appearance being of little consequence to the plot of the story.
For the purposes of this list, a "Sontaran story" is one in which one living, authentic Sontaran plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. For this reason, stories such as The Halloween Apocalypse and Survivors of the Flux are not counted due to the Sontarans' appearance being defined by their importance to following stories. Stories like The End of Time and The Time of the Doctor are also not included due to the Sontarans' appearance being no consequence to the plot of the story. Stories featuring Strax of the Paternoster Gang are only included on the Paternoster Gang story template.
