GALAXY FIVE  Militaristic space power located in a neighboring galaxy.  During the 38th Century, Galaxy Five went to war with the Federation.  It used Azaxyr and Eckersley to try to take over the trisilicate mines of Peladon.  When they failed, it was forced to sue for peace (YYY).  Later, Galaxy Five's self-proclaimed Master, Zephon, allied himself with the Daleks to attack the Solar System, but was killed by them (V).  Presumably, Galaxy Five's power was then totally crushed by the Federation.

GALLEIA  Queen of Atlantis  The Master charmed her into overthrewing King Dalios.  When she learned that the Renegade Time Lord had caused Dalios' death, she turned against him, but too late.  In spite of the Third Doctor's actions, the Master used the Kronos Crystal to summon the Kronavore, who destroyed Atlantis.  Galleia died (OOO).

GALLIFREY  Homeplanet of Time Lords.  It was located in the constellation of Kasterborus, 29,000 light years away from Earth.  Gallifrey was the location of the Trial of the Second Doctor, and was briefly invaded by the War Lords (ZZ).  Later, it was almost destroyed during the Omega crisis, but was saved by the Three Doctors (RRR).  It was threatened by the Master when he almost released the Eye of Harmony (4P).  It was then invaded by the Vardans and the Sontarans (4Z).  In both cases, Gallifrey was saved by the Fourth Doctor.  The Fifth Doctor was tried on Gallifrey when Omega threatened to take over his body (6E).  Finally, Borusa brought the Five Doctors to Gallifrey's Death Zone to help him unlock the secret of the Tomb of Rassilon (6K).
 Gallifrey was protected by impenetrable force fields known as transduction barriers.  It was the location of the Capitol, the Time Lords' seat of power.  A great deal of the surface of the planet was barren and wild, and inhabited by the Shobogans (or Outsiders) (4Z).  The Death Zone was a forbidden area, protected by force fields, at the center of which was the Tomb of Rassilon, known as the Dark Tower (6K).  The Third Doctor once mentioned that he lived on a mountainside in South Gallifrey (OOO).  (The name of Gallifrey was first mentioned by the Third Doctor when he was interrogated by Linx (UUU).)  Also see TIME LORDS.

GASES   Mankind used poison gases during World War I (ZZ).  Poison gases were used as natural weapons by the parasitic Weed (which fed on natural gas) (RR), and by the alien Vervoids (7C).  Both were vulnerable to pure oxygen.  The Alzarians also used pure oxygen to drive the Marshmen away (5R).
 Oxygen (or, more accurately, the mixture of oxygen and azote called air) was one of the commodities necessary for the preservation of human life under water (GG, 6L), in space (V), on airless worlds such as Earth's Moon (HH, QQQ), and on worlds with other types of atmospheres such as Titan (4T).  The Sunmakers sold air to the Pluto colony and used a pacifying gas called PCM to maintain their domination.  They also used a stun gas called Balarium (4W).  The Moroks used a paralyzing gas named Zaphra (Q).  The Terileptils breathed a mixture of air and a gas named Soliton (5X).  The Marshal wanted to alter Solos' atmosphere to make it habitable by humans (NNN). Vorum gas was a sleeping gas used to protect Space Station J7's computer (6W).
 The First Doctor used a gas jet and a match to get rid of Forester (J).  The Fourth Doctor released helium in the Sandminer's atmosphere to trick the Robots of Death (4R).  The Fifth Doctor used hexachromite to destroy the Silurians and Sea Devils who had taken over Sea Base Four (6L).
 Planets Karn and Sarn both generated a volcanic gas which had, under certain local conditions, the power to extend life.  On Sarn, it was called the Sacred Flame (4K) and on Sarn the Numismaton Flame (6Q).  An unidentified green gas was part of the process leading to the creation of the Krargs (5M).  On Alzarius, periodic orbital shifts released non-toxic subterranean gases which boosted evolution (5R).

GASTROPODS  Half-humanoid, half-slug creatures, once considered mythical on Jaconda.  They destroyed most of the planet.  Their leader, Mestor, took over and planned to throw a planet into Jaconda's sun to spread his eggs throughout the universe.  He was defeated by the Sixth Doctor and Azmael (6S).

GENOCIDE  The destruction of an entire species.  The Daleks (q.v.) were guilty of attempted genocide.  However, no matter what blows the Doctor dealt to the Daleks, he was never able (or willing) to completely eradicate them (LL, 4E, 7H).  Other aliens who were guilty of attempted genocide included: the Cybermen (q.v.), the Dominators (TT), the Krotons (WW), the Ice Warriors (XX), Axos (GGG), Sutekh (4G), the Kraals (4J), the Krynoids (4L), the Fendahl (4X), the pirate Planet of Zanak (5B), Scaroth (5H), the Nimon (5L), the Vampires (5P), Monarch of Urbanka (5W), the Terileptils (5X) and Mestor (6S).  The Silurians tried to cause the human race to exterminate itself (6L).  The Time Lords almost destroyed the human race when they moved Earth through space and renamed it Ravolox (7A-7C).
 A number of human villains almost caused the destruction of mankind: Forester (J), Prof. Zaroff (GG), Prof. Stahlman (DDD), Sir Charles Grover (WWW) and The Scientific Reform Society (4A).  The Master was responsible for the annihilation of many planets, including Traken, when he destroyed Logopolis (5V).
 The Sixth Doctor was accused of genocide by the Valeyard -- a criminal offense under Article 7 of Gallifreyan law -- for having destroyed the Vervoids (7C).  The human Empire almost committed genocide on races such as the Solonians (NNN) or the Wirrn (4C).  The Kastrians committed racial suicide rather than face Eldrad's return (4N).  Also see END OF THE WORLD, WAR.

GRANT  Corporal in the British army squadron sent to fight the Daleks who had invaded the Coal Hill area in 1963 (7H).

GRAVIS  Leader of the Tractators.  He functioned like a Queen Bee.  Without his guiding intelligence, the Tractators were mindless burrowers.  The Gravis had tremendous powers of gravity control.  He had secretly drawn human colonists to Frontios because he needed to use their bodies and minds to power his excavating machines.  With these, he planned to turn Frontios into a hollow spaceship.  The Gravis was susceptible to flattery, and his desire for the TARDIS enabled the Fifth Doctor to cut him off from the other Tractators and render them helpless.  The Doctor then abandoned the Gravis on Kolkokron (6N).

 Thirty years later, Prof. Travers reactivated a robot Yeti's silver sphere, which led the Intelligence to launch a new attack, this time in the London Underground, using Yetis and web guns.  It was again opposed by the Second Doctor, with the help of Prof. Travers, Jamie, Victoria and Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart.  The Intelligence plotted to drain the Doctor's mind, but the Doctor secretly reversed the polarities of the device, and would have turned the tables on his enemy if Jamie had not unwittingly wrenched the device from the Doctor's head at the last minute, thereby releasing the evil entity (QQ).

GREAT JOURNEY OF LIFE  Name given by the Nimon to their travel from planet to planet (5L).

GREAT KEY (OF RASSILON)  Another name for the Rod of Rassilon (4P, 4Z).  Not to be confused with the Key of Rassilon (4Z, 7C).

GREEL, MAGNUS  51st Century Australian dictator and scientist whose quest for eternal life led him to devise the flawed time travel method known as the Zigma Experiment.  He was responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths, and was dubbed the Butcher of Brisbane.  Greel created the Peking Homunculus in order to assassinate the Icelandic Alliance Commissioner, an action which set off World War Six and helped him and other dictators take over the Earth as the Supreme Alliance.  Greel became the Alliance's infamous Minister of Justice. After the Alliance was overthrown at the Battle of Reykjavik, Greel and the Homunculus escaped to 19th Century China in the Zygma Time Cabinet.  But his metabolism was destroyed by temporal distortion.  Greel became horribly disfigured, and needed to absorb other humans' life essences in order to survive.  He was found by a Chinese peasant, Li H'Sen Chang, who took him to be the god Weng-Chiang.  While Greel was recovering, his Time Cabinet was seized by the Chinese Emperor T'ungchi, and eventually ended up in London in Prof. Litefoot's hands.  Greel and his worshippers, the Tong of the Black Scorpion, and the Homunculus, travelled to England to recover the Cabinet.  But their efforts were thwarted by the Fourth Doctor, Leela, Litefoot and Henry Gordon Jago.  After discarding Chang, Greel was eventually struck down by the Homunculus's laser fire and died of cellular collapse (4S).
