Gallifrey: Weapon of Choice

The Doctor is gone forever. Leela's husband is missing. And Romana's presidency is under threat. The Time Lords are now part of a coalition of temporal powers, along with less ancient civilizations such as the Monan Host, the Nekkistani and the Warpsmiths of Phaidon. Together, they curtail the efforts of less deserving species from making any major breakthroughs with time travel technology. Those that do are often shunted to a miserable little world called Gryben.

Some refugees on Gryben wish to strike back at their oppressors by forming a terrorist organization called Free Time. They weren't taken seriously by the temporal powers, until a rumor surfaced that they had acquired a top secret and highly unstable Time Lord weapon called a Timeonic Fusion Device. And a mysterious information dealer named Mephistopheles Arkadian won't reveal what he knows.
