Daleks


*The following article is written from an In Universe perspective.*

The Daleks were a race made up of genetically engineered mutants who were originally from the planet Skaro. (DW: The Daleks)The mutants were usually encased inside armor consisting of polycarbide and the metal Dalekanium. (DW: Remembrance of the Daleks)

On many occasions, the Daleks openly acknowledged a single Time Lord, the Doctor, as their greatest enemy. (DW: The Chase) Intensely xenophobic and bent on universal domination, the Daleks were hated and feared throughout time and space. (DW: Genesis of the Daleks) Their goal was to eradicate all non-Dalek life, as programmed by their creator. (DW: Genesis of the Daleks)

By 3460 almost all Daleks were ascended into Vex form by the Vex.

Characteristics

Biology

Although the Daleks looked entirely robotic, they were, in fact, cyborgs, with a living body encased in and supported by an armed and mobile outer shell of Dalekanium and polycarbide protective metal armour. These were Mark III travel machines, designed to carry their mutant forms. (DW: The Daleks) In this respect, they were somewhat similar to a Cyberman; unlike them, however, the Daleks' bodies had mutated so drastically from their Kaled ancestors they had lost all humanoid appearance, save for one eye (see below). (DW: The Daleks)

The Daleks had a strong association with static electricity; not only were their casings powered by it at some points in their history, (DW: The Daleks, The Dalek Invasion of Earth) but newly-bred Kaled mutants were brought to life by a static shock before they were put into their casings, and the Second Doctor once explained that static "was like blood to the Daleks". (DW: The Power of the Daleks) Theodore Maxtible's attempts to involve static electricity in his experimental time travel resulted in his time machine prototype summoning Daleks across time. (DW: The Evil of the Daleks)

Anatomy

Casing

A Dalek's casing, was the shell which contained a Kaled mutant. (DW: The Daleks, Queen of the Daleks) It was used by the Daleks as a travel machine.

it was shown on several occasions that humanoids could easily climb into and pilot Dalek casings. (DW: The Daleks, The Space Museum) Until the time of the First Doctor's first visit to Skaro, the Daleks still believed they needed the casings to protect themselves from the radiation, though they eventually realized that they had instead grown dependent on the radiations to survive. (DW: The Daleks)

Davros, a Kaled scientist who saw the mutants as the ultimate form of the originally humanoid Kaled race, created the Daleks' "travel machines" at the same time that he created the Daleks themselves. The base unit of these casings were derived from Davros' life-support chair. (DW: Genesis of the Daleks) He introduced the true first Daleks to the Kaled Scientific Elite aboard Mark III Travel Machines. (DW: Genesis of the Daleks)

The Dalek casing, originally called "Mark III travel machine", (DW: Genesis of the Daleks) could be separated into three sections. The top was the Daleks' means of vision and communication, a dome with a set of twin speaker 'lights' on the upper part of the sides, and a periscope-like eyestalk in the middle. This was attached to the midsection by a "neck", the grating section. (DW: The Daleks)

On the Dalek's midsection the gunstick and manipulator arm were attached. These provided the Dalek's means of offence and operating capabilities. In later models, the midsection was capable of swiveling. Most of the mass of the Dalek mutant was located inside the midsection. (DW: The Daleks)

The bottom was the Dalek's means of mobility, consisting of a sturdy base with a skirt-like structure of plates studded with sense globes. The base unit appeared much like the life-support chair used by Davros. (DW: Genesis of the Daleks) This allowed movement and, in later models, flight. (DW: Remembrance of the Daleks)

The interdependence of biological and mechanical components made the Daleks a type of cyborg. The Imperial Daleks created by Davros during the Imperial-Renegade Dalek Civil War were true cyborgs, surgically connected to their shells, (DW: Remembrance of the Daleks) while the early Daleks on Skaro had initially had no fonder wish than to be able to leave their casings once again (DW: The Daleks) and one of the Daleks in the crashed colony ship on Vulcan was able to climb out of its casing on its own volition. (DW: The Power of the Daleks)

The Dalek casing also functioned as a fully-sealed environment suit, allowing travel through the vacuum of space or underwater without the need for additional life-support equipment. (DW: The Dalek Invasion of Earth)

A Dalek was connected to its casing through a positronic link. The mutant itself accessed nutrient feeders and control mechanisms inside its internal chamber. (DW: The Time of the Daleks)

Due to their gliding motion, earlier models of Dalek were baffled by stairs, which made them easy to overcome under the right circumstances. One time the Fourth Doctor and his companions escaped from Dalek pursuers by climbing into a ceiling duct. The Doctor even taunted a single Dalek before disappearing. (DW: Destiny of the Daleks) Some models were able to hover, or fly under their own power like small spacecraft and travel up the stairs, ending the original weakness. (DW: Revelation of the Daleks; MOV: Doctor Who: Endgame et al.)

Power sources

The power source of the Dalek casing also changed several times. During his first encounter with them on Skaro, the First Doctor learned that the casing was externally powered by static electricity transmitted through the metal floors of the Dalek City. Isolating a Dalek from the floor using a non-conductive material shut down the casing, although it was not immediately fatal to the occupant. (DW: "The Escape") The Daleks initially overcame this weakness by adding dishes to their casing to receive power, (DW: The Dalek Invasion of Earth) although even these were ultimately replaced by vertical rectangular slats around the midsection which absorbed other sources of power. (DW: The Chase)

Even quite late into their history, some Daleks originating on Skaro itself remained powered by static electricity: this was the case with the Daleks from the ship that crashed on Vulcan, (DW: The Power of the Daleks) Even Daleks who did not visibly draw their power supply from static electricity retained some sort of association with it, as it was by involving static electricity in his experimental time machine that Theodore Maxtible accidentally summoned into his home Daleks who nevertheless could move freely along its wooden floors. (DW: The Evil of the Daleks)

Whatever the power source the Daleks used in the interim, it was (apparently uniquely) immune to being drained by the Great City of the Exxilons. Strangely, the Daleks retained motive power and the ability to speak even though their weaponry was shut down, which suggests the weapon systems had a separate power supply. The Third Doctor indicated that this was because the Daleks were psychokinetic and moved around through the power of thought alone, and the City was unable to absorb psychic energy. Other references to the Daleks having psychic potential are scarce. (DW: Death to the Daleks)

Speech

According to certain accounts, the Dalek creature had no visible vocal apparatus as such and their voices were electronic, as the mutant inside could barely utter a squeak. (DW: Resurrection of the Daleks, Jubilee) One incident showed that a human voice spoken from within a Dalek casing would gain the typical Dalek voice's metallic quality. (DW: The Daleks)

At any rate, Daleks spoke in high-pitched, stilted, robotic voices that were easy for others to mimic; (DW: The Evil of the Daleks, their most infamous battle-cry was "EX-TER-MINATE!", each syllable screeched in a frantic-sounding, electronic scream (the last two syllables together). Other common utterances included "I (or "WE") OBEY!" to any command from a superior. (DW: Destiny of the Daleks, et al.) Daleks also had communicators built into their shells to emit an alarm to summon other Daleks if the casing was opened from outside. (DW: Planet of the Daleks)

Daleks were able to speak of concepts such as friendship, mercy and servitude, often to affect cunning deceptions, set traps and manipulate others to their will (DW: The Daleks, The Power of the Daleks, The Evil of the Daleks)

Interior

The inner casing, in which the actual Dalek mutant resided, also held a life-support system and a battle-computer for strategic and tactical knowledge. The Dalek mutant operated the casings manually. Once removed, other life forms could pilot one if they could fit within. (DW: The Daleks, The Space Museum)

Mutant

The creatures inside true Daleks were Kaled mutants. In the first appearance of the mutant form, (DW: The Daleks) they were shown to have small hands that somewhat resembled the claws of a lizard, though the entire form was never shown. Later appearances of the mutants were very different, with the Seventh Doctor once describing them as "little green blobs". (DW: Remembrance of the Daleks) According to one account, the creatures inside the Dalek casing were originally known as Dals. (DW: "The Ambush")

The living Dalek mutant possessed numerous tentacles, and a central, single eye. Despite their apparent lack of mobility, they were capable of defending themselves, as demonstrated when a Dalek attacked and killed a soldier. (DW: Resurrection of the Daleks)

Vulnerabilities

Although they were nearly invulnerable, Daleks had several exploitable weaknesses. Though these varied from type to type, their consistently biggest weakness was their eyestalk, which if damaged enough would leave a Dalek completely blinded. (DW: Resurrection of the Daleks, Revelation of the Daleks, Remembrance of the Daleks, Merely covering it rather than destroying it could sometimes work, for example the Fourth Doctor once blinded a Dalek by throwing his hat over its eyestalk, (DW: Destiny of the Daleks)

The vast majority of projectile weapons were near-useless against them, however bastic bullets (DW: Revelation of the Daleks) and Nitro-9, (DW: Planet of the Daleks, Remembrance of the Daleks), and weapons upgraded by the Hand of Omega (DW: Remembrance of the Daleks) have been known to damage and/or destroy them. Most weapons capable of destroying Daleks are energy-based weaponry, such as the Daleks' own weaponry. (DW: The Evil of the Daleks, Planet of the Daleks, The Five Doctors, Resurrection of the Daleks, Revelation of the Daleks, Remembrance of the Daleks; MOV: Doctor Who: Endgame)

History

Based on the Fifth Doctor's definition of a generation as twenty-five years, (DW: Four to Doomsday) Dalek history spanned a thousand generations, 25,000 years. (DW: Genesis of the Daleks)

Origins on Skaro

The Daleks were by most accounts native to the planet Skaro. (DW: The Daleks)

Ronson, a member of the Scientific Elite under the command of Davros, mentioned that the word "Dalek" had never been heard before the Fourth Doctor used it — hours later, Davros himself was first heard to utter it in reference to his creations. (DW: Genesis of the Daleks) Other accounts still suggested that the race from whom the modern Daleks mutated were already known as "Daleks". (DW: The Daleks)

They were at any rate mutants, the descendants of a rival race to the Thals who had once had humanoid form. (DW: The Daleks)

Some accounts held that the mutants within the shells had come to be through unguided mutation following the neutron bomb detonation that destroyed both the Thals and the Daleks' forefathers' civilisations, (DW: The Daleks)

However, according to many other accounts, the eventual mutation of the Kaleds into the blobby, impotent Daleks had been foreseen by the Kaled scientific elite before it actually came to pass, and the mad genius Davrosset about intentionally accelerating this process, making his own alterations to the Daleks' genome to make them into heartless warriors who would harbour innate hatred for all other living things, and similarly designing the Dalek travel machine as an impregnable minitank even as he led his superiors to believe it was only to be used as a life-support system for the Kaleds' sickened, radiation-poisoned descendants. (DW: Genesis of the Daleks)

On Skaro

When the Doctor first encountered them, the Daleks were stranded in their city on Skaro, as their casings were powered by static electricity channeled by the metal floors of the City, preventing them from leaving it. They eventually found that the Thals had also survived what was known as the neutronic war. After discovering that they had become dependent on the background radiation to the point of the anti-radiation meds Susan Foreman gave them being lethal to them, the Daleks attempted to vent radiation from their nuclear reactors into the atmosphere which would have left them as the only living species on Skaro. The First Doctor and his companions led a Thal assault and deactivated their power, believing that he had wiped out the Daleks altogether in the process (the necessity of which crime he lamented, though he saw no other way). (DW: The Daleks)

The Daleks survived this apparent defeat; although the Doctor believed the Daleks he encountered on 22nd century Earth were from a point in history prior to the supposed destruction of the City Daleks. (DW: The Dalek Invasion of Earth)

Space travel

Rise of the Dalek Empire

The Daleks forged an interstellar (and later intergalactic) Dalek Empire, (DW: The Daleks' Master Plan)

Targeting Earth

The Daleks did eventually conquer and occupy the Earth in the 22nd century. The Dalek invasion force were led by the Black Dalek known as the Supreme Controller and each saucer was under the command of a Dalek saucer commander. They used Robomen for patrols and overseeing slaves. The Daleks commenced a mining operation in Bedfordshire in order to reach the Earth's magnetic core, replace it with a propulsion system, and turn the whole planet into a massive spacecraft. Some time after their takeover of Earth, however, the First Doctor foiled the plan before its completion; the pit they had dug turned into an active volcano, the eruption of which killed the remaining Daleks and destroyed their base. (DW: The Dalek Invasion of Earth)

Further Strengthening of the Dalek Empire

The Daleks continued to improve their technology: they developed factory ships for conquest, (DW: The Power of the Daleks)

After the Dalek war, a Dalek Saucer travelled to the planet Exxilon in search of Parrinium, where all of its power was taken by the Exxilon City. The Dalek task-force encountered the Third Doctor and his companion Sarah Jane Smith along with a human expedition. They attempted to gun down the humans, but discovered that the Exxilon City had also drained their power supplies, rendering their gunsticks useless and forcing the Daleks to form an unholy alliance with the humans. While their gunsticks didn't work, the Daleks replaced them with machine guns and enslaved the Exxillons in search for parrinium. When their power was restored, the Daleks revealed they were the cause of the Space plague and were about to fire plague missiles to kill the Exxilons and the Doctor as they made their getaway in their ship. However, it and its crew were destroyed by Dan Galloway, who had stowed away on the ship with a Dalek bomb, which he detonated. (DW: Death to the Daleks)

Operation Divide and Conquer

The Daleks sought renewed war against humanity as early as 2540, when they allied with the Master to undermine the Earth and Draconian Empires and set them against each other and then take over with a huge army assembled on Spiridon. (DW: Frontier in Space) Despite the Master's failure to cause war, the army was prepared and the Daleks looked toward utilising the invisibility properties of Spiridon's inhabitants as a means of developing stealth technology. However, all of these plans were foiled when the Dalek army was frozen by the Third Doctor and a taskforce of Thals. (DW: Planet of the Daleks)

Time Travel

Early Days of Dalek time travel

The Daleks used their time machine to pursue the TARDIS throughout history and kill the First Doctor and his companions. The squad chased them to the planet of Aridius, New York City in 1966, the Mary Celeste, and, finally, to Mechanus. The Daleks created a robot version of the Doctor to "infiltrate and kill" the real Doctor and his companions, but it was destroyed. The squad attacked the Mechanoids in their Mechanoid City. The Dalek Leader slipped away from the battle with the Mechanoids after it realised that the assassination squad had no chance of winning. As the last surviving Dalek and in an act of self-sacrifice, it hacked into the city's computer systems and set the whole place to self-destruct, hoping to kill the Doctor and his companions in the blast. The Doctor escaped and the squad failed in their mission. Two of the Doctor's companions, Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright, used the Dalek time machine to travel back to their own time before destroying it, (DW: The Chase)

Conflict with the Space Security Service

In the year 4000, the Daleks formed an alliance with powers from the Outer Galaxies. Space Security Service agent Marc Cory discovered the alliance’s formation on Kembel however the Daleks exterminated him before he could send word to Earth. (DW: Mission to the Unknown) The Guardian of the Solar System, Mavic Chen, joined the Daleks’ alliance and supplied them with an emm of Taranium, which was vital to the Time Destructor, which the Daleks planned to use to wipe out the Solar System. However the First Doctor, allied with Sara Kingdom, escaped with the Taranium, and the Daleks pursued him until he apparently surrendered it to them - this turned out to be a fake, however, so a Dalek task force with a Red Dalek sent from Skaro in another time machine by the Dalek Prime pursued him and his companions through time until the core was finally recovered in Ancient Egypt. They successfully recovered the core, although the Red Dalek was killed by rocks during the battle with the Egyptians. The Doctor activated the Time Destructor which destroyed the Daleks, their invasion fleet and left Kembel a wasteland. (DW: The Daleks' Master Plan)

The Great Dalek Civil War

after Daleks under the leadership of the Emperor were eventually summoned to 19th century Earth by the human businessman and amateur alchemist Theodore Maxtible, who had devised a new form of time travel involving mirrors and static electricity, they took over Maxtible's techniques for themselves. Armed with this venue for time-space travel, they used it to trick the Second Doctor into a trap. They asked him to implant the Human Factor into three Daleks, claiming that they desired to become humanised Daleks allying the best of mankind and Dalek-kind. In truth, the Emperor's design was that the Doctor's experiment would, by contrast, also identify the Dalek Factor, which they would then spread through Earth's history — thus preventing their Great War with Earth from happening.

However, having realised the Daleks' plan, the Doctor encouraged the three humanised Daleks, Alpha, Beta and Omega, to defend themselves. Fearful of the implications, the Emperor ordered many Daleks through an archway that would re-implant the Dalek Factor. However, the Doctor switched factors so that all Daleks through the archway were humanised. A conflict between the normal and humanised Daleks inevitably broke out across Skaro, apparently ending the Daleks. (DW: The Evil of the Daleks)

Restructuring of the Empire

The Daleks led by a Gold Dalek, invaded Earth in an alternate 22nd century after the World Peace Conference was destroyed by Shura from the future. World War III started as various global factions accused each other of having done so. They used Ogrons as enforcers. The Third Doctor and Jo Grant travelled back to the 1970s and undid that alternate timeline. Shura used the bomb to destroy the Daleks and Ogrons in the Auderly House. (DW: Day of the Daleks)

Dalek-Movellan War

The Daleks got involved in a war with a race of robots called the Movellans. The conflict soon resulted in a stalemate: each side's purely logical battle computer kept them in deadlock. To circumvent this stalemate, the Daleks returned to Skaro to find Davros so his biological mind could reprogram their battle computers to win the war. However, the Fourth Doctor defeated them and the Movellans and Davros was taken by the Daleks' former slaves to stand trial. (DW: Destiny of the Daleks) The war continued for another 90 years, until the Movellans developed a Movellan virus to defeat the Daleks. (DW: Resurrection of the Daleks)

The Game of Rassilon

A lone Dalek was taken to an area of the Death Zone on Gallifrey via a Time Scoop. There, it encountered the First Doctor and Susan, and attempted to exterminate them, but was defeated when they pushed the Dalek into an enclosed space, causing it to fire randomly, destroying it. (DW: The Five Doctors)

Imperial-Renegade Dalek War

Afterwards, a detachment of Daleks led by a Supreme Dalek went to free their creator to find a cure for the virus. They also used a time corridor and a Dalek duplicate called Stien to trap the Fifth Doctor to duplicate him and his Companions to assassinate the Time Lord High Council. However, the Doctor broke free of the duplication apparatus and turned Stien to his cause. Meanwhile, Davros turned several Dalek Troopers and two Daleks to his cause but the Supreme's Daleks destroyed the rebels. Both Davros and the Doctor unleashed the virus and the Dalek ship was destroyed by Stien. (DW: Resurrection of the Daleks)

Davros escaped to Necros and began to turn intelligent cryogenically frozen people into Imperial Daleks to conquer the universe. However, Takis called the Renegade Daleks to take Davros to stand trial. The Renegades fought their way past the Imperials to take Davros. He tried to get them to take the Sixth Doctor, but they didn't recognise him. The Renegades' attempt to recondition the Imperials failed because of the Imperials' destruction by the Doctor and Orcini. (DW: Revelation of the Daleks)

The Imperial and Renegade Daleks both headed to Earth in 1963 to claim the Hand of Omega. The Imperials controlled H. Parson, while the Renegades used a young girl as their battle computer and "allied" with the Association. The two factions waged a lengthy battle at Shoreditch. Aided by the Special Weapons Dalek, the Imperial Daleks won, almost wiping out the Renegades aside from the Supreme. The Imperial Daleks took the Hand of Omega, as the Seventh Doctor had planned all along. Davros (as "Emperor" of the Imperials) plotted to use the Hand of Omega, giving the Daleks the power of unlimited time travel. In the Imperial Daleks' time zone, he did so, causing it to go supernova. This action, however, destroyed the planet and the Imperial fleet. On Earth, the Doctor talked the last Renegade Dalek, the black Supreme Dalek, into self-destructing. (DW: Remembrance of the Daleks)

A factory ship crashed on Vulcan, where it lay for three hundred years until a human scientist named Lesterson recovered and penetrated the capsule. Once activated, the surviving Daleks in the capsule decided to pose as obedient robotic servant drones, claiming to be the colonists' willing servants. The Daleks took advantage of the colonists' naive trust to establish a reproduction plant - on a conveyor belt system - with which to increase their numbers. The Second Doctor eventually destroyed the Daleks by turning the colony's power source against them, but not before the Daleks killed a vast number of the colony's inhabitants.

Renewal of the Dalek Empire

The Daleks launched over a thousand Dalek Saucers into the Time Vortex. A Temporal Extinction Device was deployed in a time fissure by a Dalek vessel within the Time Vortex. This caused instability. The Dalek time ship was swamped by a tidal wave of temporal energy. They were trapped in a Time loop however one pilot and two strategists arrived to General Mariah Learman after using an escape Time corridor. The Daleks injected her with drugs and transformed her into a Dalek. They invaded Earth in the 17th century. These forces were stopped by the Doctor, who left them trapped in the vortex.

Survivors of the Ascension

A Dalek mutant left its casing and found itself on Earth in 1978. The mutant possessed a local vicar by leaching on to his back. Upon being discovered by the Fourteenth Doctor, the mutant tricked her into taking it to the TARDIS by claiming it wanted her help, only to hijack the TARDIS.

The mutant saw a portrait of Elizabeth II, who it believed to be the most powerful person in the world. The mutant broke into a UNIT base and stole a Dalek casing, which it activated. The lone Dalek stormed Buckingham Palace and succeeded in taking control of the Queen. The mutant planned on repopulating the Dalek Empire by turning humans into Daleks, but was soon defeated when Erin Stevenson tricked the Dalek mutant into leaving the Queen's body, allowing Kyle Harrison to finish it off with a sword. (DW: Queen of the Daleks)

A fleet of surviving Daleks invaded Sussex in 1978, but were defeated by the Fourteenth Doctor, Erin and Kyle. (ADV: The Dalek Invasion of Sussex)

A small group of damaged Daleks hid themselves in a disused shop on the planet Comercecilla. There, they attempted to rebuild the Dalek Empire by kidnapping human visitors and turning them into Daleks. The Fifteenth Doctor destroyed these Daleks by freeing the partially transformed humans, who destroyed the Daleks. (DW: Comercecilla)

Rebirth of the Empire

The Supreme Dalek survived the Doctor's genocide, and traveled back in time to before the ascension, where he brought an entire Dalek battle fleet into the future. (DW: The New Empire)

This new Dalek battle fleet invaded Miasimia Goria and took the Rogue prisoner; taking him to a prison ship guarded by Weeping Angels. (DW: God's Familiars)

The Daleks discovered that the temporal displacement was unstable and had damaged their DNA, the Daleks realised that in order to survive, they needed the life force of a Time Lord, and so allied themselves with the Master in order to capture the Doctor and force her to give them her life force by invading Earth.

The Daleks' infected DNA eventually caused most of them to age to death. The Supreme Dalek and the Dalek mothership were destroyed when Pete Fletcher fired an energy weapon at the Supreme Dalek, causing the ship to self-destruct. (DW: The New Empire)

The Lone Dalek

A lone Dalek crash-landed in an English village on Earth in 1556. The Dalek attempted to repair its spaceship, but was destroyed when the Sixteenth Doctor caused an explosion in the centre of the ship and drop-kicked the Dalek into the explosion. (DW: Terror of the Daleks)
