 Nonetheless, the Daleks soon found themselves distracted: instead of focusing their efforts ([[TV]]: ''[[Revelation of the Daleks (TV story)|Revelation of the Daleks]]'', et. al) on new moves against Gallifrey like the Supreme's duplicate gambit, ([[TV]]: ''[[Resurrection of the Daleks (TV story)|Resurrection of the Daleks]]'') Davros' actions had officially opened a schism amongst the already fractured Dalek ranks, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (novelisation)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'') with some Daleks coming to believe they needed to fall in line under the leadership of their creator to re-establish their empire, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Innocence (audio story)|Innocence]]'') while others continued to deem him an inferior lifeform who needed to be exterminated. ([[TV]]: ''[[Revelation of the Daleks (TV story)|Revelation of the Daleks]]'', et. al) These two factions would eventually develop into the [[Imperial Dalek]]s and so-called "[[Renegade Dalek]]s", respectively, generating tensions that would eventually bring the Dalek Empire into a bloody civil war. ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'', et. al) Before the civil war could officially erupt, the Supreme began searching for Davros in an effort to force him to stand [[Davros' trial (Revelation of the Daleks)|trial]].
