For legal reasons, Miles and his stable of Faction Paradox writers cannot refer directly to anything in the DWU; "TARDISes" are replaced by "timeships", Gallifrey by "the Homeworld", and so on. Moreover, the narrative of the series contradicts the Faction Paradox continuity established in the Eighth Doctor Adventures, particularly as regards the outcome of the War (known as "the Second War in Heaven" in the Faction Paradox series), the defining narrative feature of the Faction Paradox run in Doctor Who novels.
