The Time Program 2010-01-16T08:29:54.312+11:00 timeline -31? (1000 years before the Eternal War ended / probably not long after the Curse / Before TARDISes are invented / during the Dark Times) The Gallifreyans discover other races whose view of the universe is so alien to the Gallifreyan views that their mere observations threaten Gallifreyan life. The Time Lords declare war on these beings and try to eliminate them. The Eternal War begins. The Gallifreyas will ally with the Fledgling Empires to fight the Great Old Ones (including the Yssgaroth), The Racnoss, the Vampires, and the Nestenes. This is the first and greatest of the Vampire Wars that take place during this period. ?? The Gallifreyans appropriate Block-Transfer Mathematics from the Logopolitans. ?? (at the Time of Legend) The Gallifreyans deveople Tribophysics. This is the science of interacting surfaces in relative motion. Studies of Tribophysics will eventually allow the Gallifreyans to slip through dimensions. ?? (during the Time of Chaos / when Rassilon and Omega were alive / Before Rassilon becomes President / possibly after the Triumvirate is created / after the revolution) Omega, Rassilon, and the Other create Validium as the Ultimate Defense for Gallifrey. Validium isliving metal with DNA, that becomes sentient when it achieves critical mass (probably about 300 kg).Its sole function is to cause destruction however it also might also be able to turn items into water or other elements. It generates an aura of chaos that causes violence and destruction on any world it passes near. It can shape itself into whatever its owner asks it to be. Validium is probably used to create the Cold - A substance that exists as a liquidgateway/bufferbetween the Normal Space and theYssgaroth-Spaceof the Vampires. Validium might be related to the Casts or the N-Forms. ?? (Before the Eternal Wars ended) The Ship (later to become the Doctor's TARDIS) and Lolita (later to become the Master's TARDIS) were 2 of 13 Events born within a picosecond of each other. It is likely that all of these events are critical masses of Validium. The Ship was looked upon as being psychologically deficient at the time of its birth. This deficiency might have been caused by the Eternal Wars. Lolita, on the other hand, determines what the Eternal Wars MEANT when she is hours old. Her Mother (probably the Matrix) praised her for this.The Doctor's TARDIS will be half timeship and half ancient sentient tech from the time of the Vampire Wars. The Doctor's TARDIS 's Exo-Shell is made (in part) of Validium an ancient sentient tech from the time of the Vampire Wars. Thus it is likely that the Doctor's TARDIS is half Validum and half Timeship. ?? (before Omega decides to shape the universe) They build a statute of Omega in the great hall of the Academy. The statue is made of ebonite. While watching the construction of this statue Omega decides to shape the universe. -30~? (3 years after Rassilon and Omega begin privately researching time travel /the year Rassilon becomes President / after the begining of the Eternal Wars / before the Quaba Mission) Rassilon forges a fragment of The Book of Future Legends to gain popular support for the Time Program and his other reforms. This fragments covers the years from the Curse to the end of the Qqaba mission. The Council is very disinterested in the Time Program but the CAT (the Other) and the Fragment convinces Council Leader Tussan and the Consortium to fund the project. Omega, the first of the Solar Engineers, and Rassilon, begin developing a Stellar Manipulator that will be called the Hand of Omega. Their goal is to achieve time travel by using a singularity for a power source(not a Black Hole as Rassilon has yet to invent event horizons). ?? More advanced Time Scaphes are created (which continue to use Interstital Motive Bridgesinstead of the Vortex) ?? (before the end of the Eternal Wars) omiscate.jpeg After years of work, Rassilon claims to havedesigned the Omniscate, that will be called the Great Seal of Rassilon (See above). It symbolizes infinity and eternity. Part of the Omniscate is a stylized version of an Ouroboros (i.e. a garter eating its own tale) twisted into an infinity symbol. This symbol has a negative effect on the neurosystems of the Yssgaroth. The Seal of Rassilon eventually becomes the Seal of the Time Lords and is believed to be a symbol that wards off evil. The Time Lords use the Omniscate to decorate rooms with great power. The most significant of thes is the 200 foot diameter one made of Machonite inlaid with bone-white marble that sits in the Panoptican over the Eye of Harmony's Power Mast. A few Time Lords of this time believe that the Seal predates the Eye of Harmony by thousands of years. ?? vogan.jpeg The Vogans use the Seal of Rassilon as their own. This is probably an accidental side affect of the creation of the Web of Time (Or maybe the Vogans ARE Gallifreyans from the past or the future? Or did the Time Lords help Voga during the Cyberwars?). ?? The Starbreakers and Omegan Sunskipper ship classes are created. They use Vworp Drive for interstellar travel and fusion engines for sublight manuvering. They have temporal grace curcuits and dimensional stabilizers. ?? (probably before the Time Lords seal the dimensional holes) bowship.jpeg Bow Ship The Bow Ship is invented to destroy the Vampires. The steel projectiles launched a Vampires are called Bowspikes. Rassilon might have taken credit for the invention. Rassilon orders the construction of 700 Bow Ships to destroy the Vampires. The Bow Ships are crewed by 16,000 Prydonians and Arcalians. The Eternal Wars are organized by Rassilon's personal guard (who will later become the CIA). The fleets are led by General Kopyion Liall a Mahajetsu, Lord Defender of the Faith of the Peoples of Gallifrey. These ships turn the tide of the Vampire War. Unlike species infected with the V-Factor the bodies of Great Vampires do not crumble to dust upon death. ??(At the height of the Eternal Wars) Despite protests from the Prydonians and the Arcalians, the Patrex Chapter and Lord Rassilon secretly develop sub-matter block-transfer drones called N-Forms to fight the Vampires. They are scattered throughout the Cosmos and exist in pocket dimensions and are anchored into N-Space via carrier molecules.Theyare remotely controlled from Gallifreybuttheir intelligence can be raised to near sentience.They usually remain dormant untill they detect a V-Stet (Vampiric Waveform caused by the V-Factor). When activated they burst through the carrier molecule via a dimensional rent and take on a beutiful metalic form. They can take on any shape and can use dimensional shifts to teleport themselves. An activated N-Form willhome in on the Vampire brain-wave patterns and exterminate any species that has a trace of contamination. It will also destroy and planets which show signs of the V-Factor. N-Forms will not attack Gallifreyans. It is secretly used against the Vampires and helps with the Bow ships' victories. ?? The Other probably witnesses the death of at least one of the Great Vampires first hand. ? (During the Eternal Wars)General Mirraflex becomes famous. He later becomes the Grandfather (founder) of the House of Mirraflex. Possibly fearing the eventual War in Heaven, Grandfather Mirraflex structures the House into an esoteric martial lodge. ?? (after the start of the Eternal Wars / after they started on the hand of Omega / before the holes are sealed) Rassilon might have allowed himself to become a Vampire. If so, then half of the High Council believed that he had become a Vampire. In the modern era some Gallifreyans worship Rassilon the Vampire. ?? (probably before the Hand of Omega is finished / after the Bowships/ probably right before heading back to Gallifrey/ before Tepesh discovers the Foundry) Rassilon and Omega seal all the dimensional holes that allowed the Yssgaroth to enter N-Space. Forced-matter shells are constructed around the node points where the Yssgaroth entered Normal Space. These shells were designed to look like planets on the outside. Given the events of Inferno it is possible that Earth is one of these shell-planets. The Gallifreyans continue to montior these planets incase the shells should be breached. By this point the Great Vampires numbers are reduced to a mere thousand. ?? Omega returns to Gallifrey. -24.06 (the year before Omega dies / day 344 / before the Qqaba mission / after the holes are sealed) Rassilon convinces the Vampire King into beleiving that he is an ally of the Yssgaroth. He then tricks the King into falling out of space and time thus ending one of the Vampire Wars. The Vampire King is severly wounded ends up in the Exo-Space Universe. The battle with the King Vampire is probalby held in the Cassiopeia system. The Eternal War continues however. ?? (after the Vampire King is delt with) In order to protect Gallifrey from Vampires, the solar engineer Omega constructed a new Second Sun, which he added to Gallifrey's system. This Second Sun is probably a small artificial one for Gallifrey is usually described as having only one sun. Because of the twin suns the planets in system have very short nights. -24.02 (after Rassilon is declared a Hero of the Eternal War / the year of the Qqaba mission / Day 1) rassilon.jpeg Rassilon Rassilon returns to Gallifrey and is hailed as a hero. B y this point in the Eternal War only 34 Bowships and 1200 crewmembers still survive. The Time Lords of the future will believe Rassilon fought heroically in the Eternal Wars. ?? (right after Rassilon dies and revives / Almost certainly before the first Otherstide) Tussan is removed from the Council and Tussan's CAT (the Other) joins Rassilon saying "I am the cat that walks by himself and all places are alike to me." -23.99 (the year Omega dies / day 3) Omega and the Other begin the final stages of constructing the prototype remote stellar manipulator, called the Hand of Omega for political reasons. It has the ability to customise stars. Rassilon, Omega, and the Other have a great deal of trouble with the prototype. part_2.xml To see the Time of Legend and the accomplishments of Rassilon click here!
