Commander of a military mission to the Le Verrier space-station, in orbit around the planet Neptune in the 38th Century. Communications had been cut off with the station, and Nagata's team had been sent to discover why. Following tectonic disturbances back on Earth, Indo-Japan was now a major power bloc. She hailed from a colony on Triton.
The station was found to be deserted apart from lead scientist Gagen Rassmussen, who had taken refuge in a sleep pod. In the 38th Century, people could condense their sleep in these units in order to maximise their working life.
Rassmussen was hiding from a group of creatures which now infested the station - Sandmen. It transpired that they were formed of organic matter - "sleep" from the users of the pods.
Nagata's squad were picked off one by one until only she remained, accompanied by the Doctor and Clara.
The scientist had apparently been killed by Sandmen, but this was a ruse. He was actually intent on creating more of the creatures from pod users across the entire solar system.
Nagata was taken off the station by the Doctor before it crashed into Neptune's atmosphere.
