The Eternals are an species of elemental beings of unknown origin from Doctor Who. The first event that they are known to have been involved in was to banish the Carrionites and Hervoken into the Deep Darkness during the Dark Times of the Universe. On Earth, they are typically recognized as gods, angels, earth spirits, devils, demons, ghouls, and poltergeists. They reside in the dimension of Eternity, smaller than the One of Time. The Guardians of Time set up a race for a group of Eternals, with Enlightenment being the prize. Groups of Eternals copied ships from various points in Earth's history, fitted them with ion drives and sails to catch solar winds and kidnapped humans to run the ships. Though Captain Wrack almost won the race by destroying the ships of her enemies, the Fifth Doctor managed to push her off her ship and bring it to the Guardians of Time. They fled the universe during the Last Great Time War.
