Dalek command saucer was a classification of Dalek command ship, (PROSE: The Jeopardy of Solar Proximity) distinguished from those which were not saucer-shaped. (COMIC: Star Tigers)
Characteristics
Operated by Grey Daleks led by a Gold Dalek, command saucers were composed of at least 17 levels and sported a dirty-bronzed golden colour with a central, rounded hump on the upper surfaces and several similar dome-shaped bulges on the undersides. Around their edges were lines of elongated lights that rotated as the ships moved. Technology included engines for travel, battle computers and external weapons arrays, power nodes, communications relays and air locks. The upper surface dome contained the bridge, where the Gold Dalek was fed streams of information by the second while its subordinates worked on tasks including adjustments and maintaining the engines and weapons arrays. From the bridge, the Gold Dalek could make and receive communications with its subordinates beyond. The bridge's deck contained computer banks and bulkheads. Directly beneath the bridge was the core section The underside bulges were used to transmit cyber-attack beams; faint and greenish-white, they appeared like searchlights. The saucer also held a complement of Dalek patrol ships and hoverbout units. (PROSE: The Jeopardy of Solar Proximity)
