In the history of the Time Lords, their involvement with the Minyans of Minyos
is regarded as a disaster. The Minyans looked on them as gods but, having
learnt much from their science, later expelled the Time Lords who thereafter
adopted a policy of non-intervention. The Minyans resented the Time Lords for
their dominion over Minyos. Subsequently, the Minyans engaged in a civil war,
using the advanced weapons the Time Lords gave them. In the final conflict, the
Minyans destroyed their world. Two ships left Minyos before the final conflict,
one carrying the race bank of the Minyans, the other intended to find the race
bank and bring the Minyans to a new homeworld - Minyos II. The Minyan
civilisation retained some Time Lord gifts, not least cellular rejuvenation
and the use of pacifier guns to alter the mental state of the aggressor.
At the edge of expanding universe, the TARDIS materialises on one of the Minyan
ships called the R1C. The Fourth Doctor, Leela and K-9 visit the bridge of the
spaceship. The crew of four Jackson, Herrick, Orfe and Tala are on a quest
(The Quest is the Quest) that has taken many millennia and they have
rejuvenated many times. Their aim is to find the missing ship the P7E, which
disappeared en route to Minyos II while carrying the genetic race banks of the
entire species...
