Changes: The Invasion of E-Space (audio story)

The Invasion of E-Space was the fourth instalment in the fifth series of The Companion Chronicles.

It was written by Andrew Smith, who opened the arc with Full Circle in 1980.

Publisher's summary

Trapped within E-Space, the Doctor, Romana and Adric are searching for a Charged Vacuum Emboitment — the gateway back to our universe. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Then, by pure chance, a brand new CVE rips into being. Its makers are the Farrian, a warlike race who have the technology to break into E-Space. They have come to invade and plunder this new territory, and the riches of the planet Ballustra are their first target.
