The Dalek shuttle was a shuttlecraft used by the Daleks to travel from their ships to the surfaces of planets.

History[[edit] | [edit source]]

Following the Dalek-Movellan War, Dalek freighters carried a Mark Seven Statin shuttle which could hold several phalanxes of Daleks and Dalek Troopers. (PROSE: Revelation of the Daleks) The Daleks captured Davros on Necros and took him aboard their Mark Seven Statin shuttle to stand trial on Skaro for his crimes against the Daleks. (TV: Revelation of the Daleks)

Dalek shuttles used by the Imperial Daleks loyal to the Emperor Dalek were saucer-shaped like the Imperial Dalek battle cruiser. On Spiridon, Davros' Rebel Daleks' fielded their own distinct type of shuttle. After Davros successfully usurped the Emperor Dalek (COMIC: Emperor of the Daleks!) his Rebel Daleks became the new Imperial Daleks while the former Imperial Daleks became Renegade Daleks.

The Imperial Daleks' assault shuttle was docked on the Dalek Mothership and left through a hatch on the ship's underside. The shuttle could hold four Daleks and had heavy ground defences while having an unguarded service hatch on the top of the hull. Beneath the hatch was a control room where a Dalek was connected into the system. In November 1963, Imperial Daleks used a Dalek Shuttle to reach Earth to find the Hand of Omega for their emperor, Davros, before the Renegade Daleks did for the Supreme Dalek. (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks)

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

According to non-narrative information in DWBIT 17, a group of Daleks used battle shuttles in their invasion of Aridius.
