Characters[]

Worldbuilding[]

  • The Basks are a humanoid species on Oxaqua. The only other sentient life form on Oxaqua are the Thiegs.
  • The Doctor has stopped on Oxaqua for some Rellium crystals for a miniature transporter ray he was working on.
  • Ghum believes that the Basks have violated the Co-existence Code.
  • The Basks have tiny attack Bubblecraft equipped with Beam Guns.
  • The Doctor is given an exact replica of the Oxaquan Sword of Office by Ghum.
  • According to the Doctor, they always say Skirri bip hoom da lunce on Capu 2.

Notes[]

  • This story is clearly a parable about ethnic conflict back on Earth, most likely an allusion to the Troubles in Northern Ireland, still very much ongoing in 1983. (Thieg, or rather "Teig," was and remains a term of abuse for Northern Irish Catholics.)
