"The Daleks created... me?"

The Galactic Union now knows of Galanar's covert mission to find the Daleks. But what exactly has Galanar found? The Daleks seem poised to eradicate the deadly NFS plague.

The Graxis Wardens are adrift in Dalek territory, hopelessly outnumbered.

  • Following the destruction of the Dalek Emperor 2,500 years earlier, the Dalek Supreme assumed control of Susan Mendes' body and took command of the Daleks.
  • Many years prior to the outbreak of the NFS plague, Selestru was in command of a vessel called the Perseverance. While searching for scavengers, the ship discovered an ancient space station in the Pkowik system which dated back to before the Great Catastrophe. They found three individuals - Galanar, Morli and Elaria - who had been in cryogenic stasis for 2500 years. Galanar was released from stasis and "imprinted" himself on Selestru. He was once human and the Daleks transformed him into an advanced form of Roboman. He refers to himself as a Demon.
  • The medical ship on which Siy Tarkov and the woman posing as his daughter Amur Tarkov was intercepted by the Daleks. The vessel was taken to Scalanis VIII, where Tarkov was cured of the NFS plague using Variant 7.
  • Almost immediately after the Graxis Wardens left Graxis Major, the Daleks began the geoforming process. Frey Saxton and the other Wardens witnessed it from their ship. They were to rescue a total of 357 Wardens from the Graxis system.
  • The woman posing as Amur is Galanar's fellow Demon, Elaria. She was discovered by the Daleks and imprinted herself upon them.
  • The Demons were created by the Alliance Daleks, who originated in a parallel universe, during their war with the Daleks of the primary universe 2,500 years earlier. As well as the ability to render themselves invisible, they can alter their features at will. This enabled Elaria to disguise herself as Tarkov's adult daughter Amur, who died at the age of seven in reality, by basing her appearance on that of his late wife Elicia.
