Object
Thal Genocidal Rocket
A towering, war-torn rocket housed in a claustrophobic Thal silo, serving as the Thals' ultimate weapon and part of a broader 'Thal Rocket Barrage' aimed at the Kaled dome. The rocket is loaded with distronic explosives and a chemical barrage, designed for a genocidal strike against the Kaled dome. Davros supplies the Thal Council with a chemical formula disguised as a peace offering to weaken the dome's defenses, accelerating the barrage's deadliness. The Thal Councillor orders its immediate launch, prompting guards to don protective suits. Sarah Jane Smith and Sevrin are enslaved to load explosives into its nose cone, while the Doctor sabotages the rocket to prevent its launch, climbing its scaffolding amid alarms and gunfire. The rocket's launch would incinerate prisoners in the silo from its exhaust and trigger mutual annihilation of Kaleds and Thals. Key figures involved include the Doctor, Sarah Jane Smith, Harry Sullivan, Ravon, and Davros.
