Companions: Vicki, Steven

Location: planet in Galaxy Four

The Tardis materializes on a doomed planet currently inhabited only be the survivors of two battle-damaged spaceships. One group, the Rills, has a number of robots trundling about which Vicki dubs the Chumblies. The others are the Drahvins, three beautiful but mentally vacant female soldiers and their equally beautiful (and more intelligent) female leader, Maaga. Their ship is in bad shape, obviously in no condition to escape the planet before it explodes. The Drahvins what to hijack the Rills' ship (which is less damaged) and leave the Rills to die. With Steven held hostage, the Doctor and Vicki are sent to try and take the Rills' ship for the Drahvins. The Rills turn out to be horrific-looking, multi-limbed reptilians who breathe ammonia. But even when they capture Vicki, the Doctor wonders, are the Rills the real threat here, or the Drahvins?
