New Earth

New Earth was the planet conquered by Humanity in the year 4,343,295,998 PLF. Originally named Polaris by its inhabitants, the world was renamed New Earth after the destruction of the original Earth in the year 5,000,000,000 PLF. The Doctor visited this world to check on the human population and helped cure a strange plague that had affected a small percentage of the population.

New Earth was the location of one of the most effective hospitals in the Milky Way Galaxy, which was run by a legion of super-evolved cats. They appeared to have a cure for every known disease. However, it later transpired that they were using clones as guinea pigs for their experiments, which is against Galactic Law. The hospital was shut down by the Doctor and the cats were arrested.

50 years later, another tragedy gripped the planet when the newest fad, known as 'Mood Patches', were released to the general public. Originally these were merely harmless patches with the word 'Happy' written on them - customers who used the patches would feel happy and everyone would get on fine.

However, things started to go wrong when more Mood Patches were released - such as 'Forget', which allowed people to forget particular things - this caused mass mania when faults were revealed in the drugs which caused people to lose their entire memories. By far the worst Mood Patch accident, however, was the viral strain that mutated within the 'Bliss' Mood Patch. After Bliss was created, thousands flocked to the pharmacies to use the patches but a virus within the drugs mutated and became airborne - slaughtering the entire population of the planet in a matter of minutes.

The only survivors were the Face of Boe, and his assistant Novice Hame, who were able to seal off the entire population of the undercity of New New York, saving all of their lives and helping to preserve the population of the planet in some form. After fifty years of quarantine the Doctor was able to arrive and help out, saving the population by wiping out the virus.
