An assault shuttle was a type of Dalek shuttle used by the Imperial Daleks loyal to Davros.
Characteristics
A modular design, the assault shuttle could hold up to six Daleks and had heavy ground defences while having an unguarded service hatch on the top of the hull. Beneath the hatch was a control room where a Dalek was connected into the system. (PROSE: Dalek Combat Training Manual, TV: Remembrance of the Daleks)
History
Whilst Dalek shuttles used by the original Imperial Daleks loyal to the Emperor Dalek were saucer-shaped like the Imperial Dalek battle cruiser. On Spiridon, Davros' Rebel Daleks' fielded their own distinct type of shuttle. After Davros successfully usurped the Emperor Dalek (COMIC: Emperor of the Daleks!) his Rebel Daleks became the new Imperial Daleks while the former Imperial Daleks became Renegade Daleks.
During the Shoreditch Incident, the Imperial Daleks' assault shuttle was docked on the Dalek Mothership and left through a hatch on the ship's underside. In November 1963, Imperial Daleks used a Dalek Shuttle to reach Earth to find the Hand of Omega for their emperor, Davros, before the Renegade Daleks did for the Dalek Supreme.
