Tardises Time And Relative Dimensions In Space description: tardises are the machines that Time Lords use to travel through time. They have rondelled corridors and a view screen for viewing, they run off the ISP of the occupants, 1ISP each time it’s activated. Notes: atron energy is what the Gallifreyans refer to ISP/PPE as, it’s the energy of the mind. The tardis is impenetrable and can only be breached by the most powerful of alien intelligences. You could slam it with a star ship or throw it into the heart of a burning sun, it won’t be harmed. Since it travels by way of dimensional teleportation, it can’t move from point A to point B without dematerializing. It can appear ten feet above the ground and just hover there, or on the ground, but it can’t take off( advanced tardises, type-60+ can morph into vehicles, a jet shaped tardis could fly like a jet). type-10 Vehicle type:type-10 tardis crew: one pilot, can hold infinite passengers max. speed: 1,000,000 LPM(light year per minute) or 10,000 yrs per minute engine rev: takes 1 minute to dematerialize(rift out) engine: atron/mercury battery driven time column Maximum range: 200 billion LY or 8 billion yrs( then it needs several gallons of mercury) Length: variable weight: 10 tons MDC: indestructible weapons: none(can NOT be adapted) sensors: full sensor scanning range. Chameleon circuit: can alter the Tardis to have any size, shape, color, or specific gravity. It can appear to be a police box, a car(non-functional), a pyramid, or anything else. The only limitation is that it needs to be bigger than 4x4x7 Auto locks: the tardis has the capability to lock itself, responding only to a genetically encoded key. Dimensionally transcendental: basically, this means that no matter how big or small it is on the outside, it’s inside has infinite dimensions, like a pocket dimension. This means that it can have wandering corridors, thousands of rooms. Telepathic circuits: The tardis is sentient and has an IQ of 5. They also have a telepathic circuit that allows them to speak with the subconscious of the pilot and his/her companions. This allows it to warn them of danger( to it self, not necessarily to them) and it will translate all languages they hear instantly, but not written words. Dimensional Grace: This means that NO weapons can be fired inside the tardis. Control: the type-10 has one control room. This room is 4x4x7 and can not be altered. Cloister bells: these gonging bells ring whenever there is a great danger to the tardis, the occupants or the tardis, or the time stream. Architectural circuits: this lets the owner change the insides of the ship just as the chameleon circuit lets him change the outside. Rooms can be deleted and if that is done, it will release large amounts of energy. Note: the type-10 is extremely primitive by Gallifeyan standards, and all functions besides basic locomotion have a 30% chance of freezing up whenever they are used( except the lock). If the chameleon circuit freezes, it will stay in the configuration that it was last in, if the Dimensional grace freezes, weapons will work inside the tardis, etc. type-40 Vehicle type:type-40 tardis crew: one pilot, can hold infinite passengers max. speed: 100,000,000 LPM(light year per minute) or 100,000 yrs per minute engine rev: takes 1 melee to dematerialize(rift out) engine: atron/mercury battery driven time column Maximum range: 2trillion LY or 80 billion yrs( then it needs several gallons or mercury) Length: variable weight: 5 tons MDC: indestructible weapons: none(can NOT be adapted) sensors: full sensor scanning range. Chameleon circuit: can alter the Tardis to have any size, shape, color, or specific gravity. It can appear to be a police box, an apple, a car(non-functional), a pyramid(non-ley line transmitting), or anything else. The only limitation is that if you plan on entering or exiting it, you need to have a form large enough for a door that a human can fit through. Auto locks: the tardis has the capability to lock itself, responding only to a genetically encoded key. Dimensionally transcendental: basically, this means that no matter how big or small it is on the outside, it’s inside has infinite dimensions, like a pocket dimension. This means that it can have wandering corridors, thousands of rooms, and in many cases, the control room is even larger than the outer shell of the ship. Telepathic circuits: The tardis is sentient and has an IQ of 7. They also have a telepathic circuit that allows them to speak with the subconscious of the pilot and his/her companions. This allows it to warn them of danger( to it self, not necessarily to them) and it will translate all languages they hear instantly, but not written words. Dimensional Grace: This means that NO weapons can be fired inside the tardis. Defense circuits: in times of stress, the tardis can generate a physical manifestation of itself. This will usually take the form of a silvery small animal with electric green eyes. This animal will have the same IQ as the tardis and can’t talk. Control: the type-40 has three control rooms, main, auxiliary, and emergency. Each of these rooms are identical except for decor( they often look nothing alike) and with some simple modifications, any of them can be rotated so that the door leads out of the ship. Cloister bells: these gonging bells ring whenever there is a great danger to the tardis, the occupants or the tardis, or the time stream. Architectural circuits: this lets the owner change the insides of the ship just as the chameleon circuit lets him change the outside. Rooms can be deleted and if that is done, it will release large amounts of energy. Note: the type-40 is an older model and all functions besides basic locomotion have a 10% chance of freezing up whenever they are used( except the lock). If the chameleon circuit freezes, it will stay in the configuration that it was last in, if the Dimensional grace freezes, weapons will work inside the tardis, etc. type-60 Vehicle type:type-60 tardis crew: one pilot, can hold infinite passengers max. speed: 1,000,000,000 LPM(light year per minute) or 1,000,000 yrs per minute engine rev: takes 1 melee action to dematerialize(rift out) engine: atron/mercury battery driven time column Maximum range: 200 billion LY or 8 billion yrs( then it needs several gallons or mercury) Length: variable weight: 4 tons MDC: indestructible weapons: none(can NOT be adapted) sensors: full sensor scanning range. Chameleon circuit: can alter the Tardis to have any size, shape, color, or specific gravity. It can appear to be a police box, an apple, a car(functional), a pyramid(ley line transmitting), or anything else. The only limitation is that if you plan on entering or exiting it, you need to have a form large enough for a door that a human can fit through. Auto locks: the tardis has the capability to lock itself, responding only to a genetically encoded key. Dimensionally transcendental: basically, this means that no matter how big or small it is on the outside, it’s inside has infinite dimensions, like a pocket dimension. This means that it can have wandering corridors, thousands of rooms, and in many cases, the control room is even larger than the outer shell of the ship. Telepathic circuits: The tardis is sentient and has an IQ of 8. They also have a telepathic circuit that allows them to speak with the subconscious of the pilot and his/her companions. This allows it to warn them of danger( to it self, not necessarily to them) and it will translate all languages they hear instantly, but not written words. Dimensional Grace: This means that NO weapons can be fired inside the tardis. Defense circuits: in times of stress, the tardis can generate a physical manifestation of itself. This will usually take the form of a silvery small animal with electric green eyes. This animal will have the same IQ as the tardis and can’t talk.

Cloister bells: these gonging bells ring whenever there is a great danger to the tardis, the occupants or the tardis, or the time stream. Architectural circuits: this lets the owner change the insides of the ship just as the chameleon circuit lets him change the outside. Rooms can be deleted and if that is done, it will release large amounts of energy. Note: the type-60 is an basically last year’s model and all functions besides basic locomotion have a 5% chance of freezing up whenever they are used( except the lock). If the chameleon circuit freezes, it will stay in the configuration that it was last in, if the Dimensional grace freezes, weapons will work inside the tardis, etc. type-110 Vehicle type:type-110 tardis crew: one pilot, can hold infinite passengers max. speed: 1,000,000,000 LPM(light year per minute) or 1,000,000 yrs per minute engine rev: takes 1 melee action to dematerialize(rift out) engine: atron/mercury battery driven time column Maximum range: 2,000 billion LY or 80 billion yrs( then it needs several gallons or mercury) Length: variable weight: 3 tons MDC: indestructible weapons: none(can NOT be adapted) sensors: full sensor scanning range. Chameleon circuit: can alter the Tardis to have any size, shape, color, or specific gravity. It can appear to be a police box, an apple, a car(functional), a pyramid(ley line transmitting), or anything else. The only limitation is that if you plan on entering or exiting it, you need to have a form large enough for a door that a human can fit through. Auto locks: the tardis has the capability to lock itself, responding only to the open command given by the owner.( voice lock) Dimensionally transcendental: basically, this means that no matter how big or small it is on the outside, it’s inside has infinite dimensions, like a pocket dimension. This means that it can have wandering corridors, thousands of rooms, and in many cases, the control room is even larger than the outer shell of the ship. Telepathic circuits: The tardis is sentient and has an IQ of 8. They also have a telepathic circuit that allows them to speak with the subconscious of the pilot and his/her companions. This allows it to warn them of danger( to it self, not necessarily to them) and it will translate all languages they hear instantly, but not written words. Dimensional Grace: This means that NO weapons can be fired inside the tardis, except for the defense batteries. Defense circuits: in times of stress, the tardis can generate a physical manifestation of itself. This will usually take the form of a silvery small animal with electric green eyes. This animal will have the same IQ as the tardis and can’t talk. These also let the tardis fire internal ion batteries placed at strategic points throughout the tardis for defensive purposes. Control: the type-110 has three control rooms, main, auxiliary, and emergency. Each of these rooms are identical except for decor( they often look nothing alike) and with some simple modifications, any of them can be rotated so that the door leads out of the ship. Cloister bells: these gonging bells ring whenever there is a great danger to the tardis, the occupants or the tardis, or the time stream. Architectural circuits: this lets the owner change the insides of the ship just as the chameleon circuit lets him change the outside. Rooms can be deleted and if that is done, it will release large amounts of energy. Note: the type-110 is now the top of the line model so all functions besides basic locomotion have a only a 3% chance of freezing up whenever they are used( except the lock). If the chameleon circuit freezes, it will stay in the configuration that it was last in, if the Dimensional grace freezes, weapons will work inside the tardis, etc. Notes on time travel: Time CAN NOT be altered, if something happened, it already happened. If you go back and try to interfere with the past, you will either be stopped, or you will find that it was you who caused it happen as it did. The only purpose of traveling by tardis is to visit the past( or present ,or future), not to change it. Time travel is accomplished by traveling into a neutral dimension known only as the space time vortex. This vortex is dangerous when not in a tardis and anyone who opens a rift to it will suffer 1d6x20 MD( 4d6x100 MD per melee spent in the vortex) and has a 10% chance or releasing a chronovore. Tardises can be used to break the dimensional barrier from the vortex and enter another dimension. This is very risky and only has a 10% chance of success, if the tardis fails, it will get shot into a random time or place in it’s home dimension. If it succeeds, it only has a 1% chance of getting back each time the tardis tries to. Palladium RPG converted by Majin-Buu, Time Lords, Tardises, and Doctor Who © Doctor Who and BBC television
