The '''Imperial Dalek mothership''' was the [[mothership]] of the [[Imperial Dalek]] faction commanded by [[Davros]]. It was known in the Daleks' own language as '''Eret-mensaiki Ska''', which translated as "Destiny of Stars". | |||
== Characteristics == | |||
The mothership was a [[killcruiser]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[War of the Daleks (novel)|War of the Daleks]]'') which the [[Seventh Doctor]] stated potentially held as many as [[400 (number)|400]] Daleks, and possessed weapons that could easily crack open the [[Earth]] "like an [[egg]]". ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'') The mothership also contained a creche where [[Dalek]] [[embryo]]s listened to indoctrination tapes while being fed nutrients. It was powered by a [[fusion reactor]]. One Dalek was plugged into the computer where it could control the creche and [[servo-robot]]s on the outer hull of the ship. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (novelisation)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'') | |||
== History == | |||
On the [[planet]] [[Spiridon]], [[Davros]] amassed an army of loyal Daleks, opposing the [[Emperor Dalek (Nemesis of the Daleks)|Emperor Dalek]] based on Skaro. After surviving an attack by the Emperor's forces, Davros took the mothership to Skaro. Once there, he seized control of the planet, seemingly murdering the [[Dalek Prime|Emperor Dalek]] and naming himself the new Emperor. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Emperor of the Daleks! (comic story)|Emperor of the Daleks!]]'') | |||
During the resulting [[Imperial-Renegade Dalek Civil War]], Davros searched for the [[Hand of Omega]], taking the mothership over [[Earth]] in [[1963]]. Ultimately, the mothership was [[Shoreditch Incident|destroyed]] by the Hand of Omega. Davros was the only survivor, immediately fleeing from the ship when the Doctor refused to stop his attack. ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'') | |||
There were a number of [[escape pod]]s on board the vessel. Davros used one to escape when the Hand of Omega was used to destroy the mothership.
