Greetings Marius,

Ah maybe so, but remember the Time Lords had absolute power for one billion years in their realm. Power over both Time and Space, and the ability to manipulate every atom in the Universe to their whim. We were the guardians of not only Time and Space but of the very fabric of reality. Here's a bit of our history.

"Before the anchoring of the thread, the universe was unstructured and chaotic. There were no laws of physics, only infinite possibility. During this era, Gallifreyans were known as the Shadow People, caught between the warm darkness of magick and the cold light of science. Magick dominated Gallifreyan culture for a long time, but their technological advancement was also unparalleled. A Time Lord emissary reminded the Fourth Doctor that Gallifrey had perfected the transmat beam when the universe was less than half its "present" size. Empowered by the transmat and other techniques of interstellar travel, Gallifreyans spread throughout the universe, subjugating or shepherding all new species they encountered. They built alliances with any powers they couldn't conquer, creating the Fledgling Empires. ( Soon, their colonies were spread throughout the galaxy.

The Fledgling Empires waged a war against the Racnoss, wiping out their species while harnessing their Huon energy for the first time machines.The Gallifreyans fought against the Old Ones and destroyed them altering the balance of the Universe. They would then be named as Dominus temporis, Time Lords, by the lesser races who fled in fear of their power and wrath.

The early part of Time Lord history is known as the Dark Time, when the first Time Lords abuse their powers over time by manipulating lesser species. Among these abuses is the use of the Time Scoop to abduct beings from throughout history to participate in gladiatorial games (with the exception of such races as Daleks and Cybermen who "play the game too well" and are thus considered too dangerous to be used) in an area of Gallifrey known as the Death Zone.

During his rule, Rassilon leads the Time Lords in a war against the Great Vampires, a war so horrific that the Time Lords forswear violence from that point on. The weapons used by the Time Lords against the vampires in that war include Bowships and Temporal Barriers capable of erradicating entire timelines, and parallel realities.

During the anchoring of the thread, Rassilon accidentally opened a doorway into another universe. The Great Vampires escaped and caused mass destruction. The Time Lords, led by Kopyion Liall a Mahajetsu, tried to stop them, leading to the thousand year Eternal War. They eventually pushed them back into their own universe, plugging the holes with planets.

The Time Lords tried doing business with the Hoothi an advancing race  The Hoothi caused a war on one of the worlds with which Gallifrey was negotiating, and later attacked Gallifrey itself using a Time Lord ambassador as a host. The Time Lords struck back with a counterattack and put the Hoothi worlds in a time loop. The Hoothi were forced to leave the galaxy.

When the natives of Exclon began attacking and looting neighbouring planets, the Time Lords launched a full scale attack on Exclon and devastated it. The Time Lords forced the Phaeron to shut down their wormholes.

Beginning of non-interference.
After dreaming of a future Time Lord empire that used its power to suppress the weak of the universe, Rassilon instituted the non-interference policy. It would be remembered that policy was created due to the damage that had been done by the Time Lords to other species using time travel. 150 million years BC, Rassilon defied the non-interference policy and led the Time Lords against the Mad Mind of Bophemeral in the Millennium War."

My point is we are a very ancient race we have seen and done so much, perhaps too much. I would not be so quick to dismiss out power, there is a reason we are lords after all.

Cheers,

The Weary TimeLord.
