SANDMINER  Giant, mobile factory for processing ores and minerals on a deserted, windswept planet.  Its crew, led by Commander Uvanov, would all have been killed by Dask's Robots of Death if it had not been for the Fourth Doctor's and Leela's intervention (4R).

SARDOR  See CO-PILOT.

SARN  Volcanic planet.  At one time, it was a Trion colony, but proved to be too inhospitable because of its volcanic activity.  While the Trion used it for its regenerating Numismaton Flame, the planet's inhabitants slowly reverted to tribalism and superstition.  After the revolution, the Trions used Sarn as a dumping ground for their political prisoners.  The Sarns worshipped Logar, god of the Fire Mountain, and sacrificed any Unbelievers.  The Fifth Doctor defeated the Master on Sarn.  Turlough summoned Trion's help to evacuate the Sarns, who were threatened by a volcanic eruption (6Q).

SARN  Young Lakertyan female who assisted Beyus inside the Rani's ship.  She was Beyus' and Faroon's daughter.  She escaped and was killed by one of the Rani's protective bubbles (7D).

SASH OF RASSILON  One of the three symbols of power worn by the President of the High Council of the Time Lords of Gallifrey.  (The other two were the Coronet and the Rod of Rassilon.)  Its secret function was to protect its wearer from great sources of energy, such as the Eye of Harmony, and also to enable the wearer to convert that energy for his own use.  It was probably used by Rassilon himself when he entered a black hole to capture the Eye of Harmony.  The Master wore the Sash when he released the Eye of Harmony, and was able to absorb enough energy to prolong his life, almost dooming Gallifrey (4P).  The Fourth Doctor wore it when he was proclaimed President (4Z).

SATAN  The Fourth Doctor claimed it was another of Sutekh's names (4G).  The Daemons resembled the Christian Devil (JJJ).  Also see RELIGION.

SAVA  Planet visted by the First Doctor (X).

SAVAGES  Name the Elders gave to the allegedly primitive people with whom they shared their planet.  The "Savages" were artistically advanced, and lived a primitive lifestyle only because the Elders repeatedly drained their life essence.  They were freed from their servitude by the First Doctor's intervention, and Steven Taylor became the leader of the reunited species (AA).

SCARLIONI, CARLOS (COUNT)  Scaroth's alias in Paris in 1980.  He hired Prof. Kerensky to build a time machine.  To finance Kerensky's research, another of Scaroth's aliases, Captain Tancredi, had forced Leonardo Da Vinci to paint several Mona Lisas, which Scarlioni could sell on the black market.  The sight of Scaroth's real shape so frightened his henchman, Hermann, that he caused an explosion which killed them both (5H).  Also see SCAROTH.

SCARLIONI (COUNTESS)  Count Scarlioni's wife.  She was apparently unaware that her husband was in reality Scaroth, last of the Jagaroth, a green-skinned, one-eyed alien.  She was killed by Scaroth after she forced him to reveal his true identity (5H).

SCARMAN, MARCUS (PROF.)  Egyptologist who opened Sutekh's tomb.  The Fourth Doctor claimed that Prof. Scarman ceased to exist as a human being when he entered the evil Osirian's tomb.  He returned to the Priory under Sutekh's control, and even killed his broher, Laurence.  He travelled to Mars in the TARDIS with the Fourth Doctor, and died the final death when Sutekh released him after destroying the Eye of Horus (4G).

SCAROTH  Green skinned, one-eyed alien of the war-like Jagaroth race.  Circa 3.5 million BC on Earth, Scaroth's crippled spaceship, which contained all the survivors of the Jagaroth race, exploded while taking off.  The radiation caused by the explosion triggered a mutation in Earth's primordial "soup", creating life on the planet.  Scaroth was split into twelve fragments, scattered across different time periods, including: Ancient Egypt (where he posed as a god), Germany in 1455 AD (when the Gutenberg Bible was first printed), Renaissance Italy in 1505 AD (where he used the alias of Captain Tancredi), England in 1600 AD (when Shakespeare wrote Hamlet), and Paris in 1980.  There, as Count Scarlioni, Scaroth hired Prof. Kerensky to build a time machine.  To finance Kerensky's research, as Tancredi, he forced Leonardo Da Vinci to paint several Mona Lisas, which he sold as Scarlioni.  Eventually, in spite of the Fourth Doctor, Romana and Duggan's intervention, Scaroth was able to return to 3.5 million BC.  However, Duggan stopped him from preventing the destruction of his ship, therefore ensuring the creation of life on Earth.  Scaroth was then automatically returned to the 20th Century, where the sight of his real shape so frightened his henchman, Hermann, that he caused an explosion which killed them both (5H).

SCOPE (a.k.a. MINISCOPE)  A combination time scoop and peep show.  The Scope plucked living beings from their own time and space and kept them prisoner in a miniaturized state.  The Third Doctor claimed he had been instrumental in getting the time Lords to call for an Intergalactic Convention to ban the Scopes as being against the dignity of sentient life forms.  At least one Scope survived in the hands of Galactic showman Vorg.  It contained Ogrons, the S.S. Bernice and its crew, a plesiosaurus, and the savage Drashigs.  The Third Doctor rematerialized in Vorg's Scope on the planet Inter Minor.  There, a xenophobic official, Kalik, tried to use the Scope to discredit the President's liberal policies, but failed.  The Scope was eventually put out of commission by the Third Doctor, and its prisoners restored to their proper places in space and time (PPP).

SCORBY  Harrison Chase's murderous henchman.  He stole a Krynoid pod from the World Ecology Bureau's Antarctic base and took it back to England.  When he realized the full extent of the Krynoid's threat, Scorby fought it alongside the Fourth Doctor, but was eventually drowned by weeds which were under the Krynoid's control (4L).

SCOTLAND  The Second Doctor landed near Culloden in 1746 AD (FF).    The Borad, a Karfelon tyrant who had been defeated by the Sixth Doctor, was transported by his Timelash to 12th Century Scotland, near Inverness, and took up residence in Loch Ness.  Presumably he was killed by the Zygons and their Skarasen when they took over the Loch in 1676 AD (6Y).  The Fourth Doctor fought the Zygons in Tulloch in 1976.  By then, the Zygons' Skarasen had become the Loch Ness Monster (4F).

SEA BASE FOUR  Underwater base attacked by the Silurians and the Sea Devils in 2084 AD.  Its commander was Vorshak.  After taking it over, the Silurians plotted to use its nuclear missiles to provoke a war between the two blocs, and thus eradicate mankind.  Their efforts were defeated by the Fifth Doctor, who used deadly hexachromite gas to wipe out the Silurians and the Sea Devils (6L).

SEA DEVILS  Intelligent reptilian lifeform which ruled the Earth during the Cretaceous (136 to 65 million years BC), and not the Silurian (430 to 395 million years BC).  They, and their "cousins" the Silurians, were eventually driven to hibernate in underground shelters by some undetermined cosmic event.  A commando of Sea Devils awoke from suspended animation in 1973 and began sinking ships in the British Channel.  They were contacted by the Master who offered to ally himself with them.  The Third Doctor and the Chief Sea Devil talked peace, but they were thwarted by the interference of the Master and Walker, a civil servant who ordered a depth charge attack.  In the end, the Doctor was forced to engineer an explosion which destroyed the Sea Devils' undersea base before any more Sea Devils could be awakened (LLL).
 The Silurian Icthar reanimated a Sea Devil commando led by Sauvix in 2084 AD, and used them to attack Sea Base Four.  His plan was to launch nuclear missiles to provoke a war between the two blocs, and thus eradicate mankind.  His efforts were defeated by the Fifth Doctor, who used deadly hexachromite gas to wipe out the Silurians and the Sea Devils (6L).  Also see SILURIANS.

SIGURD  One of the Vanir.  He and the other Vanir eventually stayed on Terminus to help Nyssa run it as a regular hospital (6G).

SIL  One of the Mentors from Thoros-Beta.  He was the Galatron Mining Corporation's agent on Varos.  He bribed the Chief Officer of Varos to keep the prices low, but he was thwarted by the Sixth Doctor.  He then attempted to take over the planet, but failed.  Sil's superior, Kiv, replaced him and negotiated fairer prices for Zyton-7 (6V).
 Sil again met the Sixth Doctor on Thoros-Beta, where Crozier was working on a process to transfer the mind of the dying Kiv into Peri's body.  At Sil's request, Crozier used his Cell Discriminator on the Sixth Doctor, causing him to act hostile and more erratically than usual.  Crozier's process was deemed too dangerous for the course of natural evolution by the Time Lords, so they manipulated events to arrange for King Yrcanos of Krontep to kill Crozier, Kiv and Sil and rescue Peri.  The Valeyard used a heavily doctored doctored version of this event, making it appear as if Peri had been killed (7B).

SILIGTONE  One of the hardest metals in the universe.  Drathro's Maglem converter was made of it.  Because siligtone was quite valuable, Dibber suggested that he and Glitz could make money by salvaging it (7A).

SILURIAN (OLD)  See OLD SILURIAN.

SILURIAN SCIENTIST  See ICTHAR.

SILURIAN TRIAD  Silurian governing body.  The Wenley Moor triad comprised the Old Silurian, the Young Silurian and Icthar (BBB, 6L).

SILURIAN (YOUNG)  See YOUNG SILURIAN.

SILURIANS  Intelligent reptilian lifeform which ruled the Earth during the Cretaceous (136 to 65 million years BC), and not the Silurian (430 to 395 million years BC).  They, and their underwater "cousins", the so-called "Sea Devils", were eventually driven to hibernate in underground shelters by some undetermined cosmic event.  Theories about the nature of this event included: a wandering planetoid causing a change in the Van Allen belt; movements of the Moon; departure of Earth's twin planet, Mondas; or possibly the quasi-psychic awareness of the forthcoming crash of a space liner from the future (6B).
 The Silurians of Wenley Moor were reawakened from suspended animation in 1971 because of power leaks from the neighboring British atomic research center.  The Old Silurian met Dr. Quinn, then the Third Doctor, and became convinced that his people could share Earth peacefully with Mankind.  However, the Young Silurian tried to wipe out Mankind with a deadly virus.  After that had failed, he and the Silurian scientist, Icthar, attempted to use a molecular disperser to destroy the Van Allen Belt, and thus render Earth inhabitable for humans.  Thwarted by the Third Doctor, they returned to suspended animation.  Their shelter was then blown up by UNIT (BBB).
 Icthar survived, and reawakened in 2084 AD.  He reanimated a Sea Devil commando, led by Sauvix, and attacked Sea Base Four.  His plan was to launch nuclear missiles to provoke a war between the two blocs, and thus eradicate mankind (which had been the Young Silurian's last wish).  His efforts were defeated by the Fifth Doctor, who used deadly hexachromite gas to wipe out the Silurians (6L).  Also see SEA DEVILS.

SILVER CARRIER  Codename of the Phoenix IV supply ship on which the Second Doctor and Jamie rematerialized before travelling to the Wheel in Space.  Its only inhabitant was a Servo-Robot (SS).

SILVER NEMESIS  See NEMESIS, SILVER.

SIN (MR.)  Name used by the Peking Homunculus when it posed as a ventriloquist's dummy, as part of Li H'Sen Chang's magic act (4S).  Also see PEKING HOMUNCULUS.

SINGING TREES  One of the landmarks of Iceworld's underworld (7G).

SINJU  Way station on the road to Peking (D).

SINKING SHIP ("VAISSEAU QUI COULE")  French tavern where Barras met with Napoleon to plot Robespierre's downfall (H).

SIRIUS  Planetary system with five planets.  The Master impersonated a Commissioner from Sirius Four (QQQ).  Veldan was a member of a Sirian colony (5J).  Androzani Major and Minor were located in the Sirian system (6R). The Academius Stolaris was a famous art gallery located on Sirius Five (5H).

SIRIUS CONGLOMERATE  Powerful corporation located on Androzani Major which controlled the supply of spectrox.  It had been established by Morgus and Sharaz Jek, and was later completely taken over by Morgus.  After Morgus was exposed as a traitor and had fled Androzani Major, the Sirius Conglomerate passed into the hands of Timmin, Morgus's personal assistant (6R).

SISTERHOOD  Select society of women on Karn dedicated the protection of the Sacred Flame, which produced the Elixir of Life.  They were gifted with vast psionic powers and virtual immortality.  After the Time Lords helped defeat Morbius, who had brought great ruin to Karn, the Sisterhood agreed to share the Elixir with them.  When the Sacred Flame appeared to be dying, the Sisterhood's High Priestess, Maren, suspected the Fourth Doctor of being a spy sent by the Time Lords to steal the remaining Elixir.  She felt too old to fight Morbius, and let a younger priestess, Ohica, destroy the Monster.  Maren later gave up her last ration of Elixir to save the Fourth Doctor's life.  Ohica then assumed the leadership of the Sisterhood (4K).

SITA  One of the Xeron rebels who fought with the First Doctor against the Moroks in the Space Museum.  She was killed by the Moroks (Q).

SKAAR  Planet where the Graff Vynda-K's men fought in the Alliance Wars (5A).

SKAGRA  Geneticist, astro-engineer, and multi-talented scientist from Dronid who stumbled upon the secret of Salyavin's existence.  Skagra plotted to use an electronic mind-transference device, known as the Sphere, which had been developed on the Think Tank space station, together with Salyavin's mind-control abilities, to imprint his mind on every living creature in the universe.  He stole ®MDUL¯The Ancient Law of Gallifrey®MDNM¯ from Prof. Chronotis to discover the secret of Shada's location.  On Shada, he found that Salyavin was pretending to be Prof. Chronotis.  Skagra was eventually defeated by the Fourth Doctor and Romana, then imprisoned on his own Ship (5M).

SKARASEN  Giant, reptilian monster which the Zygons claimed they brought to Earth in embryo form.  They depended on its lactic fluid to stay alive.  Grown to giant size, the Skarasen became known as the Loch Ness Monster.  The Zygons used it to destroy three oil rigs and threaten a World Energy Conference in their bid to take over Earth.  Freed by the Fourth Doctor, the Skarasen returned to Loch Ness, where it presumably lived a peaceful life afterwards (4F).

SKARO  The twelfth planet in a solar system not too far from Earth.  Skaro was the home world of both the Kaleds and the Thals.  It was ravaged by the neutronic wars between the two races, which made it largely radioactive.  The Kaled scientist Davros further developed some of the mutations, created a mobile casing for them and christened them Daleks.  The Time Lords sent the Fourth Doctor to Skaro to stop the development of the Daleks, but he failed, succeeding only in entombing them in the Kaled bunker, after they had turned against their creator (4E).
 Later, some crippled Kaled survivors discovered the remnants of Davros' early experiments and mutated themselves into new Daleks.  The First Doctor met the new Daleks in the Dalek City and foiled their attempt to destroy the surviving Thals by increasing Skaro's radiation levels.  Those new Daleks presumably perished when the Thals destroyed their power controls (B).
 The original Daleks ultimately resurfaced and took over Skaro, driving the Thals away.  They then ruled over Skaro (K, EE, KKK, XXX) until the planet was again reconquered and occupied by the Thals (QQQ, SSS).  Skaro was eventually ravaged by further warfare between the Thals and the Daleks, and became a dead planet.  By then, the Daleks had emigrated to another world (herein dubbed "Skaro II").  The ultimate fate of the Thals remains unknown.
 The Daleks returned to the original, ravaged Skaro to find their creator, Davros, so that he could help them in their fight against the Movellans (5J).  The Daleks and Davros then fought for control over the Dalek species (6P, 6Z).  Eventually, either the original Skaro's, or Skaro II's, sun was turned into a supernova when Davros, against the Seventh Doctor's advice, used the Hand of Omega (7H).
 However, the Daleks continued to plague Mankind from Skaro (or Skaro II?) (R, T/A, V).  It was there that the battle between the Daleks and the humanized Daleks engineered by the Second Doctor took place, putting a final end to the Daleks' history (LL).  The Varga plants (T/A) and the Slyther (K) were lifeforms indigenous to Skaro.

SKART  High Priest of the Swampies on Delta Magna's third moon.  He was killed by Kroll (5E).

SKINSALE, JAMES (COLONEL)  British M.P. (Thurley) and retired Indian Army Colonel, whose gambling debts had been cancelled by Lord Palmerdale in exchange for insider information.  He was shipwrecked on Fang Rock and helped the Fourth Doctor and Leela fight the Rutan.  He could not resist picking up Lord Palmerdale's diamonds, and was killed by the Rutan (4V).

SKONNANS (or SKONNONS)  Inhabitants of Skonnos.  They were once the leaders of a space empire which the Nimon had promised to restore to its former glory.  Their leader was Soldeed (5L).

SKONNOS  Planet that was once the seat of a mighty empire.  The Nimon promised to return it to its former glory if the Skonnans paid him a tribute of young men and women, and hymetusite crystals.  The Skonnans extracted the tribute from the peaceful Anethians.  They later discovered that they had been tricked by the Nimon, who were plotting to take over and destroy their world.  They were saved by the Fourth Doctor (5L).

SKORDA  Human settlement on Metebelis Three.  Its 269 inhabitants were killed by the Spiders (ZZZ).
