Captain Hardaker

Captain Hardaker, played by Geoffrey Palmer in " Voyage of the Damned", was the Captain of the S.S. ''Titanic'', a ship from Max Capricorn Cruiselines modelled after the Earth ocean liner of the same name. Hardaker was a veteran officer in the company and long-time Captain of his ship. With a terminal illness, he accepted a large sum of money (to leave behind for his family) from Max Capricorn to crash the ''Titanic'' into the Earth. This was key to Capricorn's scheme to frame the board of directors for mass murder. Hardaker facilitated this by dismissing all officers from the bridge, but Midshipman Alonzo Frame refused to go, citing the regulation that two officers were required on the bridge at any one time. Despite Frame's interference, Hardaker lowered the shields and magnetised the hull to draw in a meteor storm. The meteors struck the ship, dealing tremendous structural damage and killing many of the passengers. A support structure on the bridge collapsed and killed Hardaker, leaving Frame helpless to prevent the ''Titanic'' from plunging toward Earth. Geoffrey Palmer appeared twice before in Doctor Who. In the 1970 serial, '' Doctor Who and the Silurians'' (over 35 years before "Voyage of the Damned"), and in the 1972 serial ''

Councillor Hedin

Hedin was a high-ranking and respected Time Lord politician who was said to have been a good friend of the Doctor before he left Gallifrey. In fact, Hedin was in league with the renegade and powerful Time Lord Omega because he believed Omega deserved freedom and recognition for his achievements, and contribution to Time Lord history. The Doctor knew this was a mistake and tried to reason with Hedin, who was suddenly killed by saving the Doctor's life from a shot fired by one of the Castellan's guards.

The surviving Robomen were eventually liberated by the First Doctor, Doctor, Susan Foreman, Susan, Barbara Wright (Doctor Who), Barbara and David Campbell and they fought against the Daleks. Peter Badger and Martyn Huntley played two of the Robomen. Martyn Huntley had previously played the First Human in ''The Sensorites'' (1964) and reappeared in ''Doctor Who'' as Warren Earp in ''The Gunfighters'' (1966). Robomen reappeared in the Big Finish audio production ''The Mutant Phase'', in which the Fifth Doctor (played by Peter Davison), accompanied by Nyssa (portrayed by Sarah Sutton), arrive on Earth during the Dalek Invasion, in 2158.

The graphic novel ''The Only Good Dalek'' featured several Robomen on a space station where various objects and lifeforms related to the Daleks were housed, with the Robomen eventually joining in the Dalek assault on the station. The Robomen have a small role in ''Energy of the Daleks'', where the Fourth Doctor and Leela (Doctor Who), Leela face a Dalek time squad from the future in 2025, the Doctor explicitly stating that the use of Robomen is a sign that the Daleks' resources are limited. In the audio ''Masters of Earth'', the Sixth Doctor and Peri Brown arrive on Earth in 2163 where they became involved in a Dalek plot to create a new, more efficient form of Robomen, although the Doctor is forced to kill the subjects of this experiment when they try and use the Robomen technology to augment humanity to oppose the Daleks, the Doctor concerned that this approach will make humanity the new Daleks.
