The Lords of Time
With Great power, comes great responsibility.
Minyos.
Home to the Minyan race.
A planet similar to Earth, with an equally similar race. Aggressive, intelligent and possessed great potential.
After their breakthrough with the Omnitope technology, the Time Lord race spread out across space and time, charting the universe and encountering new species.
Peoples the First ones had never encountered.
The Minyans were the one of the first. They were a primitive race, using stone and rough hewn wooden tools, and lived off the land.
Remembering Lorien's own interference in their own culture, the Time Lords decided to play god. They appeared to the Minyans, who in awe of their other worldly visitors, treated them like gods. In their pride, the Time lords came to believe them.
The Time lords started taking their time, teaching the Minyans the basics of the internal combustion engine, then nuclear physics. In the 2,000 years since the Time Lords first visited their world, the Minyans entered their computer age in less than 4 centuries. They had advanced communication tech and genetics sciences.
The Time lords showed the Minyans how to travel in space, giving them access to hyperspace travel and a myriad of other techs along the way.
But, in their arrogance, the Time Lords had forgotten one thing.
They were outsiders.
" Free Minyos," slogans appeared all around the planet. At first, the Time lords believed the group was small, but it wasn't.
Then the first deaths started happening, because they were seen as gods, the Time lords felt safe walking through the streets of the cities of Minyos.
The first deaths alerted the Time lords to the seriousness of the situation, the race they'd spent time helping was rebelling. Before the Time lords could put down the resistance, the Minyans stormed their many bases around the planet and the death toll was very high.
A handful of Time lords returned to the safety of Earth. They could've ordered the complete destruction of the solar system, annihilating the Minyans instantly. But they were a civilised and a moral race. Besides, it was believed that the Minyans would destroy themselves anyway.
" It is inevitable." The lord president said sadly.
The president was right.
Without the Time lords to administrate, the Minyans, once brothers in arms against the Time lords, started fighting amongst themselves.
Wars broke out between the many factions arguing over this and that. Conventional weapons were used, then nuclear weapons were used and later space weapons were used.
A radical group, using a piece of left over Time Lord technology, destroyed the solar system and reduced it to rubble.
When the Time lords found out, they were devastated.
It started when a junior Time lord conducted a routine check on Minyos, only to find the planet, the sun and the planets in the solar system were reduced to asteroids.
The president decided that from that day forth a policy of non intervention was required. No longer would they interfere with the development of other worlds.
The only exceptions would be if there was a threat beyond the capacities of other races to deal with. Temporal incursions would be treated with the harshest penalties.
From now on, they would explore and make contact, but never interfere.
The Time lords had learned their lesson.
