-The '''25th century Dalek invasion''' was an [[invasion]] of the [[Solar system]] waged by the [[Dalek]]s, led by the [[Golden Emperor]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Invasion of the Daleks (comic story)|Invasion of the Daleks]]'') from the [[year]] [[2400]] to [[2409]] at the latest.

 At a time when the Daleks still did not know the location of the [[Earth]], the Earth ship the ''[[Starmaker]]'' was pounded by a [[meteor storm]] and forced to land on Skaro. The Daleks destroyed the ship. The only survivors were [[Captain]] [[Flint Fleet]] and two children, siblings [[Tom (The Road to Conflict)|Tom]] and [[Jennie (The Road to Conflict)|Jennie]], who escaped in a Dalek saucer to warn Earth of the danger posed by the Daleks. Among the wreckage of the ''Starmaker'', the Daleks found the remains of a piece of [[paper]] which revealed to them the existence and location of Earth. The Emperor declared that the Daleks would search for Earth and conquer it. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Road to Conflict (comic story)|The Road to Conflict]]'')
-Later, Skaro moved to the Solar system around the orbit of the [[Sun]], making it easier for the Daleks to invade. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Invasion of the Daleks (comic story)|Invasion of the Daleks]]'')

-The Dalek Emperor agreed to the terms that the Daleks would never leave Skaro again and that their dreams of conquest were over. The world rejoiced over peace with newspaper articles reaching [[New York]] and [[Paris]], a [[cricket]] commentary being interrupted in one location and [[robot]]s receiving extra [[oil]] . Andy remembered that the [[Black Fleet]] had last been seen near Earth and realising that [[the Moon]] was undefended, he, Jeff and Mary set off to investigate. They discovered Daleks there intending to use discarded [[nuclear bomb]]s to stir up lots of dust and rock. They were then planning to use a [[megla ray]] during a [[solar eclipse]] to send the dust and rock to Earth making the air unbreathable. Mary set the bombs to detonate before the eclipse occurred which destroyed the Daleks who were still preparing on the Moon. As they watched the eclipse from space, Jeff confirmed that their search for Daleks was only just beginning. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Battle for the Moon (comic story)|Battle for the Moon]]'')

 === Aftermath ===
-Stories of the history of the invasion were written in the history book of the [[Age of Universal Peace]] which begun in [[2409]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Break-through! (short story)|Break-through!]]'') As part of the treaty, the Dalek weapons were stored in a big space vault above Skaro and the Daleks themselves had their [[gunstick]]s removed. Two hundred years later, an artificial planet had been destroying planets and posed a potential threat to Skaro and Earth. As it was an age of peace and the humans didn't understand how to work the Dalek weapons they had little with which to defend themselves. Reluctantly, the humans accepted the help the Emperor offered in return for their weapons back. After the Mechanical Planet had been destroyed, the Emperor declared that the Daleks will conquer every planet beginning the conflict anew.

([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Mechanical Planet (comic story)|The Mechanical Planet]]'')
 Daleks with [[time travel]] native to the [[40th century]] attempted to go back in time to reprise the invasion in [[2415]] but the Golden Emperor's [[time machine]] was faulty and he ended up in [[1415]] during the [[Battle of Agincourt]]. Without their leader the invasion was a failure and the remaining Daleks quickly surrendered. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Secret of the Emperor (comic story)|The Secret of the Emperor]]'')
+==== Historical discrepancies with the Dalek Wars ====
+The [[Time Lord]]s identified the Daleks' [[2150s Dalek invasion of Earth|initial invasion]] of Earth as taking place in the mid-[[22nd century]], following a [[Battle of Hope Valley|reconnaissance scout mission 1,300 years earlier]]. Initially a success, a [[decade]] of occupation ensued as a means for [[Project Degravitate]], which was thwarted by the [[First Doctor]], resulting in the liberation of Earth. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dalek Combat Training Manual (reference book)|Dalek Combat Training Manual]]'', [[TV]]: ''[[The Dalek Invasion of Earth (TV story)|The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]'')
+Accounts of the Age of Universal Peace lasting "two hundred years" until the beginning of the invasion of the [[27th century]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Mechanical Planet (comic story)|The Mechanical Planet]]'') conflicted with accounts of the [[Dalek Wars]], specifically the [[Second Dalek War]] which was fought throughout much of the [[26th century]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Frontier in Space (TV story)|Frontier in Space]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[Love and War (novel)|Love and War]]'', ''[[Prisoner of the Daleks (novel)|Prisoner of the Daleks]]'', et al.)
+The [[Narrator (The Dalek Conquests)|narrator]] of ''[[The Dalek Conquests]]'' noted that writing a precise chronological account of Dalek history was made very difficult by the fact that the Daleks possessed time travel. The exact details of the effects this may have had on Dalek history and the aftermath of the 25th century invasion in particular is unclear. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Dalek Conquests (audio story)|The Dalek Conquests]]'')
 == Behind the scenes ==
-This is the first attempted Dalek invasion of Earth depicted in any media as the release of ''[[The Dalek Book]]'' preceded their second television appearance in ''[[The Dalek Invasion of Earth (TV story)|The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]'' and the [[22nd century Dalek invasion|eponymous invasion]] in that story by nearly five months.
+This is the first attempted Dalek invasion of Earth depicted in any media as the release of ''[[The Dalek Book]]'' preceded their second television appearance in ''[[The Dalek Invasion of Earth (TV story)|The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]'' and the [[2150s Dalek invasion of Earth|eponymous invasion]] in that story by nearly five months.
+As with aspects of ''[[The Dalek Chronicles (comic series)|The Dalek Chronicles]]'' detailing the [[creation of the Daleks]], the events in ''The Dalek Book'' and its [[27th century Dalek invasion|follow-up storyline]] in ''[[The Dalek World]]'' were contradicted by future stories. In the case of the [[Dalek annual]]s, the 200-year peace achieved in ''The Dalek Book'' was eventually overridden by ''[[Frontier in Space (TV story)|Frontier in Space]]'' and ensuing stories about the [[Second Dalek War]] during the [[26th century]].
+No other works have tried to reconcile these inconsistencies, but ''[[The Dalek Conquests (audio story)|The Dalek Conquests]]'' and ''[[The Dalek Handbook]]'' at least suggest the Daleks involved in the Second Dalek War were guilty of [[Alternate timeline|changing history]] as their time travel technology became more sophisticated. The Daleks adopt similar strategies in ''[[The Dalek Outer Space Book]]'' comic story ''[[The Secret of the Emperor (comic story)|The Secret of the Emperor]]'', though to little success.
+At any rate, these inconsistencies do not necessarily suggest any alterations to the 25th century invasion itself - only to its longer-term aftermath during the [[Age of Universal Peace]] and the [[27th century Dalek invasion|27th century invasion]].
