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.
