History
Gallifrey was a planet located in the constellation of Kasterborus and was home to the Time Lords. (Episode: Pyramid of Mars)
Within the time-locked Time War, Rassilon in desperation sought a means of escape for the Time Lords in order to prevent their impending destruction. Thus, they decided to manipulate the timeline of the Master and implant within his mind a signal that could be used in conjunction with a White-Point Star as a means of pulling Gallifrey back into the main universe above Earth. This act would have caused the Time War to spill out releasing its horrors into the universe though Rassilon had intended to cause the Time Vortex to rupture and pull apart with the Time Lords ascending into beings of pure consciousness. The process would have made them immune to the effects of time as reality collapsed on itself with this being part of Rassilon's Ultimate Sanction. The Doctor destroyed the signal receiver that anchored Gallifrey to Earth thus sending the planet back into the Time War where it was seemingly destroyed. (Episode: The End of Time)
