As such, the Time Lords personally intervene to stop him.
+* [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Curse of Davros (audio story)|The Curse of Davros]]''
+: Davros is leading a force of Imperial Daleks. His skirt matches that of a Dalek. He has not adapted to his Emperor casing. These Daleks lose their memories at the end of this story, perhaps explaining why Davros is on trial in the next story.

 *[[COMIC]]: ''[[Emperor of the Daleks! (comic story)|Emperor of the Daleks!]]''

+:The [[Dalek Prime|Golden Emperor]] is seemingly destroyed by Daleks loyal to Davros, who becomes the new Emperor on Skaro while the [[Renegade Dalek]]s are left scrambling under [[the Black Dalek]]. Davros upgrades to a new casing.
+:: ''Alternatively:''
+*[[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Davros Mission (audio story)|The Davros Mission]]''
+:The Golden Emperor is already missing from Skaro; [[the Black Dalek|the Dalek Supreme]] intends to become the new Emperor in its absence, but Davros usurps him. He upgrades to a new casing.

-:[[Davros]] is the Emperor Dalek and leader of the [[Imperial Dalek]]s during the [[Imperial-Renegade Dalek Civil War|civil war]] against the [[Renegade Dalek]]s.
+:[[Davros]], in his new sphere-headed casing, is the Emperor Dalek and leader of the [[Imperial Dalek]]s during the [[Imperial-Renegade Dalek Civil War|civil war]] against the [[Renegade Dalek]]s. He ends up escaping the destruction of his fleet in a pod.
+* [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Terror Firma (audio story)|Terror Firma]]''
+: Davros's [[escape pod]] enters the time vortex after the explosion of his [[Imperial Dalek mothership|mothership]] but his memory is unstable so his memories are probably scrambled, allowing him to forget the previous two stories. He believes Skaro has been destroyed and his personality is subsumed by that of the [[Dalek Emperor]].
+* [[COMIC]]: ''[[Nemesis of the Daleks (comic story)|Nemesis of the Daleks]]''
+:Set in the [[26th century]]. A Dalek Emperor in a casing resembling the Golden Emperor's rules the Daleks of the [[Death Wheel]]. In the story itself, he is strongly implied to be Davros, although retcons in [[COMIC]]: ''[[Emperor of the Daleks! (comic story)|Emperor of the Daleks!]]'' instead claim this Emperor is the same one that puts Davros on trial in ''Emperor of the Daleks!'', i.e. the actual [[Golden Emperor]].
 * [[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'' / [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Novel of the Film (novelisation)|The Novel of the Film]]''
-: On Skaro, the [[Dalek Emperor (The Novel of the Film)|Dalek Emperor]] presides over [[the Master]]'s trial, which ends in his [[extermination]], and allows the Seventh Doctor to take his remains to Gallifrey.
+: On Skaro, the [[Dalek Emperor (The Novel of the Film)|Dalek Emperor]] presides over {{Tipple}}'s trial, which ends in his [[extermination]], and allows the Seventh Doctor to take his remains to Gallifrey.
-* [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Terror Firma (audio story)|Terror Firma]]''
-: Davros's [[escape pod]] enters the time vortex after the explosion of his [[Imperial Dalek mothership|mothership]] but his memory is unstable so his memories are probably scrambled, allowing him to forget the previous two stories.
