In this story, do the black domed Daleks actually make up the Emperor's Personal Guard? I believe that when I was listening to the audio version they were referred to as ''Section Leaders'', which would put them in a different class. Arguably they do guard the Emperor from the [[Humanised Dalek|Humanised Daleks]] towards the end, however their role in directing the operations of "normal" Daleks seems consistent with them being ''Section Leaders'' rather than actual Guards. That said, are there any stills from the story that show black domed Daleks around the Emperor all the time aside from the "normal" Daleks when the Doctor and co. were brought before him? I'm open to having my view changed on this, I was a believer that these Daleks were his personal guard, but now I'm not so sure, thoughts? -- [[User:Imperial Empire|Imperial Emperor]] - <sup>[[User talk:Imperial Empire|Talk]]</sup>

I don't think '''Emperor's Personal Guard''' is the best way to describe these Daleks. In the novel'' Prisoner of the Daleks'', Dalek X has guards with black domes too, and he's not the Emperor.

I agree. Elite Guards or Imperial Guards fit better. Something to fit those who act as commandoes and bodyguards for leading members including Emperors and Supremes. {{Unsigned-anon|2a00:23c7:ae85:3a01:382b:e40a:deae:7f51}}

: Multiple models of Daleks exist in the story, yes, but surely for an Emperor's Personal Guard, black dome or otherwise, they have to have an Emperor or similar to guard (the closest the stories get I think is ''The Magician's Apprentice'' calling Davros, dark lord of Skaro). The way the paragraph is laid out is that they're just one of several models and designs of Dalek seen which happen to have black domes and silver plating.

Evil of the Daleks[[edit source]]

In this story, do the black domed Daleks actually make up the Emperor's Personal Guard? I believe that when I was listening to the audio version they were referred to as Section Leaders, which would put them in a different class. Arguably they do guard the Emperor from the Humanised Daleks towards the end, however their role in directing the operations of "normal" Daleks seems consistent with them being Section Leaders rather than actual Guards. That said, are there any stills from the story that show black domed Daleks around the Emperor all the time aside from the "normal" Daleks when the Doctor and co. were brought before him?

Only for the Emperor?[[edit source]]

I don't think Emperor's Personal Guard is the best way to describe these Daleks. In the novel Prisoner of the Daleks, Dalek X has guards with black domes too, and he's not the Emperor. Maybe we could change the title of the page to something like Elite Guards or something along those lines? 90.200.188.107 16:15, May 17, 2011 (UTC)TheCoud'veBeenKing

I agree. Elite Guards or Imperial Guards fit better. Something to fit those who act as commandoes and bodyguards for leading members including Emperors and Supremes. The preceding unsigned comment was added by 2a00:23c7:ae85:3a01:382b:e40a:deae:7f51 (talk).
