The TARDIS is a place and the group of Tamers and Digimon and a cat associated with it unique to the RPG canon.
Name
Out of Character
POT, player of Koushirou and Sokka, originally named Koushirou and Ryo's room the TARDIS, with Caryl, player of Ryo and Molly, agreeing on the condition that Monodramon was inside the room at the time. However, the name soon came to mean the entire apartment, regardless of Monodramon's presence or lack thereof, and is also used to refer to its tenants.
The name originates from the Doctor's time machine cum spacecraft on the British scifi program Doctor Who, and was applied to the apartment on the basis that like its namesake, the apartment is bigger on the inside (thanks to Koushirou's hacking). Unlike the original TARDIS, however, the apartment does not travel through time and space.
(Yet. Who knows, Milleniumon may break out.)
In Character
To date, Koushirou has been the only character to refer to the TARDIS as such in canon.
RPG Canon
The TARDIS was an apartment owned by Penguinmon and originally rented out by Koushirou Izumi and Sokka. However, with the Dokugumon swarm, Sokka spent little time at the studio apartment (for some reason digimon apartments only have one room), allowing Koushirou to invite Ryo R. Akiyama and by extension Molly Hale to stay with him while they looked for a place of their own. When Sokka moved out to live with his girlfriend Azula, Ryo and Molly moved in permanently. Hotaru Tomoe soon joined them on the suggestion of Shego, and for a time the four Tamers (and their partners) were crammed in the one room. This forced them to creative measures in quests for privacy, with the boys resorting to the roof.
Upon receiving a laptop from the Shinigami Ryuk, one of the first things Koushirou did was hack some bedrooms into the apartment. This ability came in handy, as Ken Ichijouji soon found himself in this digital world, and, being a close friend of both Koushirou and Ryo, moved in with them. Mackenzie also moved in with them, as she is Koushirou's roommate in her universe and insists on making Koushirou's life hell wherever she goes. Upon Ken's brother Osamu Ichijouji's arrival in the digital world, Koushirou invited him to stay with them also.
Unfortunately, when Yggdrasil came online, the digital god soon blocked all access to the digital world's code and stripped all outside alterations to it, reverting the TARDIS to its original state - a studio apartment. The TARDIS crew thus moved to the Silver Dragon, where they occupy most of the third floor of the apartment complex. Upon Aveline Izumi's arrival in the digital world, Koushirou took her home there, and she soon invited Anei Yagami to live with them also so she wouldn't be alone.
The TARDIS floor of the Silver Dragon also houses the Future Brainbreakers' clubhouse.
