The Halldons were a race of powerful beings and, according to one account, responsible for the creation of the Daleks.
History
On Ollendorf 2, the Doctor discovered the unpublished writings of a human scientist, Bryant Anderson, next to Anderson's own corpse and the remains of a Dalek. The papers revealed that shortly before his death, Anderson had discovered the supposed true origin of the Daleks. In ancient times, the Halldons, as part of a scientific experiment, had transplanted Earth humans to the barren planet Ameron and artifically accelerated their evolution. Within two hundred years, the Halldons' test subjects had advanced to such an extent as to build fearsome weapons which frightened even their Halldon masters.
Realising the experiment was spinning out of control, the Halldons attempted to wipe out the Ameron humans, only for them to defend themselves and retaliate to the point of completely exterminating the Halldons. Free to advance unhindered, the evolved humans, determined to ensure their own survival, continued to evolve and eventually became the Daleks whom the Earth humans feared so greatly. (PROSE: We are the Daleks!)
However, other accounts of the creation of the Daleks existed and did not involve the Halldons. Most accounts stated the Dalek race had been created on the planet Skaro by the scientist Davros out of the Kaled species. (TV: Genesis of the Daleks, TV: The Witch's Familiar, etc.) Among other theories about the various origins of the Dalek race, a group of historians wondered if the Halldon might have transplanted the early humans onto prehistoric Skaro, with the various humanoid races of Skaro being descendants of those humans. (PROSE: The Dalek Handbook, Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe)
The Halldons engaged in a temporal skirmish with the Eternals, which ended with the Time Lords stepping in to put an end to the universe-threatening hostilities. According to one account, this was one of the only two time wars in which the Time Lords had engaged before the start of their Great Time War with the Daleks themselves, which would end in their destruction.

The Brothers of Hame were descendants of the Halidons. (PROSE: From the Platform One Guest List)
