- You may be looking for Dalek operator.
A Pilot Dalek operated on a Dalek time fleet within the Time Vortex. When the Temporal Extinction Device malfunctioned, the Supreme Dalek sent the Pilot and three Strategists through a time corridor to escape safely and plan a rescue attempt. (AUDIO: The Time of the Daleks)
The Time Lords identified Dalek attack ships as being manned by Dalek operators. (PROSE: Dalek Combat Training Manual)
During the attempted invasion of Slarvia, the Daleks dispatched hoverbouts which were armed with additional weapons that connected directly to their pilots' interior assault computers. (PROSE: Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe)
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The "Dalek Patrol Ship" sets released in 2014 by Character Options included an exclusive 3.75-inch bronze "Dalek pilot" figurine bearing a black dome and alternating black "skirt" panels identical to the colour scheme of the Dalek saucer commander originally seen in The Dalek Invasion of Earth.
- In addition, Character Options released a "Dalek security patrol ship". This "stealth" version included a Dalek pilot coloured predominantly black with a red dome and silver slats and sense globes.
- This bronze Dalek Pilot design was later used in a valid source on the cover of What Lies Inside?, rendered by James Johnson. Ahead of release, Johnson released a closer look at his design,[1] also clarifying that the accompanying text wasn't in any way official, and that he added it "just for fun".[2] Their battle-shell was said to be infused with Black Metalert to withstand excess heat and space fatigue.
Dalek Pilots are assigned to the navigation and offensive capabilities of assault saucers, gunships and other craft within the Dalek fleet. They are distinguished from the standard soldier by their black domes and interchanging black and bronze skirt panels. Pilots rarely disembark from the flight deck but can constitute patrol formations when required.
