Synopsis[]
The Sontarans believe themselves to be the ultimate warrior race. Now they wish to join in the battle against the Time Lords & the Daleks. They've captured leaders from both sides of the battle & now held them as hostages. The only way to get them back is if they're allowed in on the war.
All of this is a scheme planned out by General Klarv, leader of the Ninth Sontaran War Fleet. If all goes to plan, the Sontarans will become a third opposition in the war. Not unless they're stopped by the Time Lords or the Daleks
