== Invasion Earth: 2164==
: [[Image:BITDW1.jpg|centre|150px]]
: Shown is the land and air battle at Westminster, London, during the early days of the Daleks Invasion of Earth. The Dalek plan was to remove the planets core and turn the planet into a giant spacecraft. (They used radio-controlled Human converts called [[Robomen]] to help oversee and control the rebel population.
 
===[[Doctor Who: Battles in Time Issue 3]]===
==The Battle for the Planet [[Mechanus]]==
: [[Image:BITDW3.jpg|centre|150px]]

===[[Doctor Who: Battles in Time Issue 5]]===
==Battle of Armagedos (from the diary of Captain R’ar’Han’e)==
: [[Image:BITDW5.jpg|centre|150px]]
: Shown is the space battle above the planet Armagedos, a suicidal attempt at a distraction to allow transport ships from the planet to take survivors clear of the Dalek invading forces. By reversing the polarity of the canons neutron flow, the colonists were able to break through the Dalek shield and escape the planet, entering hyperspace and regroup.
 
===[[Doctor Who: Battles in Time Issue 7]]===
==The Battle for Raxas (from ‘Daleks: A History’ by Dr. Cornelius Filkins)==
: [[Image:BITDW7.jpg|centre|150px]]
: Shown is the land and air battle on the planet Raxas where the Daleks underestimated the resistance offered by the native ‘unintelligent’ earth-like dinosaurs on the resources rich planet of Raxas. The Dalek mines were never entirely secure and required an ongoing Dalek presence.
 
===[[Doctor Who: Battles in Time Issue 9]]===
==The Battle for Phijax III, 9000AD (From ‘Daleks: A History’ by Dr. Cornelius Filkins)==
: [[Image:BITDW9.jpg|centre|150px]]
 
: Shown is the underwater battle between the Squeeth (giant octopus-like creatures) and the Daleks on the waterworld of Phijax III. The Daleks hunted and crushed the Squeeth until finally able to capture and extract the paralysing venom in their suckers, the Daleks were able to use it enslave others on others worlds.
 
===[[Doctor Who: Battles in Time Issue 11]]===
==Bermuda Triangle Incident (From Journal of Flight Commander Benjamin K. Hooper)==
: [[Image:BITDW11.jpg|centre|150px]]
: Shown is the 1958 American air conflict with the Daleks which followed their last received broadcast from the Bermuda Triangle. The broadcast, like others, (following disappearances since the 1490’s), tell of a ripple like effect, loss of navigational controls and attacks by metal creatures rising from an island with a rusting alien craft.
 
===[[Doctor Who: Battles in Time Issue 13]]===
==Clash of the Titans! (From the Daily Story, summer, 2006)==
: [[Image:BITDW13.jpg|centre|150px]]
: Shown is the Dalek and Cyberman conflict at Tower Bridge, London, Earth. After getting used to the ‘friendly ghosts’ the people of Earth watched as they had become more solid and, as Cybermen, demanded a total surrender. While the Cybermen took control of the streets, the Daleks arrived from the air and battle between the two invading forces ensued until, as suddenly as they arrived they were both sucked from the skies. Some reports suggest activity concentrated around Docklands in the east end of London but there has been no official confirmation.
 
===[[Doctor Who: Battles in Time Issue 15]]===
==Creation of the Daleks (From ‘The history of the Thals’ by Dr. M Christopholos)==
: [[Image:BITDW15.jpg|centre|150px]]
: Shown is the Dalek army attacking the [[Kaled]] dome now occupied by the Kaled enemies the [[Thal]]s. Following a thousand year war which had seen the Kaled form genetically accelerated by their top scientist [[Davros]], the new genetic mutation (housed in an armoured shell of a Mark Three Travel Machine) were the first Dalek conquerors. Davros betrayed his own people in order to ensure the survival of the Daleks, his creation!
 
===[[Doctor Who: Battles in Time Issue 17]]===
==Battle for Pultonia 7 (From ‘A Planet Under Threat’ by Efrosini Skatesis)==
: [[Image:BITDW17.jpg|centre|150px]]
: Shown is the Dalek’s first attempted invasion of the planet Pultonia 7 in the 43rd Century. A planet rich in minerals the Daleks had planned to enslave the native giant wasps and praying mantis, but had underestimated the armoured exoskeletons of these giant insects and the carnivorous planets of the planet. By comparison, this time it was the Daleks that were being squashed like insects. Although defeated a further, stronger attack on the planet is anticipated.
 
===[[Doctor Who: Battles in Time Issue 19]]===
==Pirates From the Sky! (From ‘Seafaring Myths and Legends’ by W J Rowing)==
: [[Image:BITDW19.jpg|centre|150px]]
: Shown is the reported battle of the sea that led to the sinking of the legendary pirate fleet (led by Jack Lawrence) in late September 1697. The few survivors that washed ashore were regarded as mad with their tales of metal ‘demons’, personal cannons that fired blue flames and cries of what sounded like the word ‘exterminate’.
 
===[[Doctor Who: Battles in Time Issue 21]]===
==Sea Bed Struggle (From ‘The Problems of Colonisation’ by M J Barzey)==
: [[Image:BITDW21.jpg|centre|150px]]
: Shown is the Dalek underwater assault on the human colonists on Cadoni 4, in the Stanzari system, 3682 AD. After a successful and harmonious settlement some fifteen years earlier (despite the planets nine month a year extreme weather pattern), the colonists were no match for the Dalek assault which started in the Kaye Ocean and ended with no survivors.
 
===[[Doctor Who: Battles in Time Issue 23]]===
==Exterminated Pests (From ‘Dalek Victories’ by Robert Keyte)==
: [[Image:BITDW23.jpg|centre|150px]]
: Shown is the Dalek army assault and conquest of their sixth planet in the Hanro solar system, Dirimion 7. The dominant life form, the Nidilla, were giant spiders living in the mountains that dominated the northern land masses, who in spite of being able to weave webs of up to 20 metres across were unable to withstand Dalek fire power.
 
===[[Doctor Who: Battles in Time Issue 25]]===
==Floating Fortress (From ‘Wars at the Ends of the Worlds’ by R K Datoo)==
: [[Image:BITDW25.jpg|centre|150px]]
: Shown is the Dalek’s concentrated attack on the central control station on the human settlement world of Graelliscy, in early 4826, 45th century. The cities which were like floating islands in the skies and designed to take advantage of the planets seasonally changing gravity, were no match for the Dalek’s when the central control station was destroyed along with the defensive shields. Within days the Daleks had won and human life exterminated.
 
===[[Doctor Who: Battles in Time Issue 27]]===
==Prehistoric Peril (from ‘Ancient Worlds’ by P M Stalley)==
: [[Image:BITDW27.jpg|centre|150px]]
: Shown is the Dalek battle on Senkus Sha, in both the skies and the sea where even the more aggressive, prehistoric native species in the south were wiped out by the Daleks desire to dominate this planet in oreder to launch out and conquer other nearby planets. Even working together against the invaders, the Empetnicks (huge sea creatures similar to sharks) and the flying Perrincott (pterodactyl-like birds) were no match for the Dalek force.
 
===[[Doctor Who: Battles in Time Issue 29]]===
==A Crushing Defeat (from ‘An Alien History of War’ by O M Burdett)==
: [[Image:BITDW29.jpg|centre|150px]]
: Shown is the battle on Rianken (third of the fourth molten planets of the Mejas system). The Daleks were determined to lay claim to the strong metal alloys developed over the 300 years by the human colonists. The toughened metals, able to withstand the planets high temperatures and used to build tanks for movement and defence of their stockpiled metals that the Daleks wanted, provided some defence against the Daleks. The Daleks suffered heavy loses but eventually won following a sustained aerial bombardment on the tanks.
 
===[[Doctor Who: Battles in Time Issue 31]]===
==Wings of Terror (from ‘Great Air Battles of the 59th Century’ by A Weston)==
: [[Image:BITDW31.jpg|centre|150px]]
: Shown is one of the air battles on Megana-Eros (5874), a world where the Daleks had built a breeding city for a population of ten billion Dalek embryos. When the Ornikronon (a legendary race of gigantic, eagle-like birds) returned to their homeworld from the other side of the universe, the 100 strong Dalek guards were no match for them. Had it not been for a nearby Dalek battle cruiser the Daleks would surely have been defeated. As it was, the Dalek cruiser laid waste to the planet with its dark-matter cannon – both the Ornikronon and the Dalek embryos were massacred.
 
===[[Doctor Who: Battles in Time Issue 33]]===
==Prison Break! (from ‘Dalek Victories, Human Errors’ by Maxx Fo)==
: [[Image:BITDW33.jpg|centre|150px]]
: Shown is the secret human prison ship ‘Space Station X-R’ home to the most evil criminals and the only Dalek Supreme captured by the humans. Three Hundred years into the Dalek-Human War a huge prison ship was located in orbit around the planet Nowhere, tucked into an anti-matter reef between the Blore Wilderness and the Gulf of Null. It was believed to be secure by the humans but a successful rescue attempt by the Daleks from their base on the planet [[Kembel]], freed the Dalek Supreme, led to the humans being wiped out and the brain patterns of the most evil human minds (including Ook “Star Burner” Rowann and Petra Dank, Black Widow of Cep Zoltha) used by the Daleks in their battle computers.
 
===[[Doctor Who: Battles in Time Issue 35]]===
==Daleks vs Daleks! (from ‘The End of the Daleks’ by Dokktor Whit-Arkker)==
: [[Image:BITDW35.jpg|centre|150px]]
: Shown is a scene from the Daleks civil war on Skaro around the time of the Seventh Dalek Armada’s defeat at the battle of Gurnian. The Emperor Dalek was guarded by his army of black Daleks who defended him against Daleks ‘infected’ by the Human Factor. The original Dalek plan was to travel back in time (using the TARDIS of a runaway Time Lord) and ‘infect’ humanity with the Dalek Factor. Instead an army of Daleks infected with the Human Factor turned on their own Emperor and a civil war broke out that destroyed all the Daleks, including the Emperor, although there are those that said the Emperor survived.
 
===[[Doctor Who: Battles in Time Issue 37]]===
==Bats out of Hell (from ‘At the Mouth of Madness’ by Lawty Van Zorn)==
: [[Image:BITDW37.jpg|centre|150px]]
: Shown is the Daleks doomed attempt to travel the wormhole known as the Hellmouth which lies far beyond the Great Astral Fogstorm of Orlock’s Spiral. The wormhole was believed to lead to Nosfera II, home of the ancient Vampire Gods and their Vampire Weapon-Worlds. Guarded by the Chiroptera (gigantic, blood-thirsty bat-like creatures, with leathery wings, fangs and eyes capable of emitting devastating psionic energy beams), the Daleks were no match for these predators and were consumed, their ships reduced to ashes.
 
===[[Doctor Who: Battles in Time Issue 39]]===
==Dalek War: The Big Freeze! (from ‘Ice Cold on Alyx’ by Capt. Jacobean Cahill)==
: [[Image:BITDW39.jpg|centre|150px]]
: Shown is the Dalek assault in June 2614, on Alyx Pol-13, a ball of perma-frost on the fringes of the Dak-Snoom Ice Belt. There was only one survivor from the invasion of Snowbase Alpha, none from the assault on Snowbase Beta. The Daleks soon established a deep freeze collection of alien monsters which were later used in the Great War of the Rim Empires.
 
===[[Doctor Who: Battles in Time Issue 41]]===
==The Sagarro Desert Storm (from ‘Dalek: Destroyer of Worlds’ by Takz Intaaki)==
: [[Image:BITDW41.jpg|centre|150px]]
: Shown is the Daleks vengeful return to the planet Aridius, once a water-world now a desert planet because of a stellar incident some 1000 years earlier which shifted its position in relation to its twin suns. Aridius was a reminder of the Daleks long-since failed attempt to capture their legendary enemy the Doctor. The native Mire Beasts were disturbed when the Daleks (under orders from the Dalek Supreme), arrived using their gravity weapons to wipe out all life forms on the planet. Even king of the Mire Beasts (the Mire Colossus) was unable to survive such a vicious attack. With the Mire Beasts destroyed the peace-loving Aridians were all very quickly exterminated.
 
===[[Doctor Who: Battles in Time Issue 43]]===
==Quarantine Alert! (from a Scout Dalek Saucer 432/948/2 transmission)==
: [[Image:BITDW43.jpg|centre|150px]]
: Shown is the Daleks under attack by swarming insect bugs encountered in Dalek outpost sector gamma/red/delta.23 when twin scouting crafts, on entering a subspace rupture suffered power loss and crashed on a nearby moon. On landing the Daleks communications were first to be disrupted before the flesh eating bugs that were resistant to Dalek fire-power began to break into the Daleks casing and consume them. Dalek self destruct was initiated.
 
===[[Doctor Who: Battles in Time Issue 45]]===
==The Temple of Haskavarr (from ‘The Rise of the Daleks’ by Exissa Canoomidid)==
: [[Image:BITDW45.jpg|centre|150px]]
: Shown is the battle of the giant rock creatures at the Temple of Haskavarr, on the planet of Haskavarr in the Canis Major Dwarf galaxy in early 4203AD. Following the loss of contact with a scout party of Daleks a probe sent back disturbing images of Daleks under attack. A battleship was ordered to take orbit and concentrated firepower on the rock creatures which heated and cracked. Dalek fire power was supreme.
 
===[[Doctor Who: Battles in Time Issue 47]]===
==Roots of Evil (from ‘Dalek: Extinction Level Event’ by Hexa An’Laffodi)==
: [[Image:BITDW47.jpg|centre|150px]]
: Shown is the Dalek invasion of the strategic planet of Querkus during the time of the Second Dalek Empire. Rich in resources, the planets dominant life form, giant killer trees, had previously prevented the planet being colonised by humans. In spite of early loses the  Daleks were more aggressive and ultimately resorted to a cobalt bomb attack on the planet which wiped out all life forms. From the dead planet the Daleks soon established factories from which to launch millions more Daleks.
 
===[[Doctor Who: Battles in Time Issue 49]]===
==The Dalek Invasion of Mars (From ‘The Battle of Jacksonville’ by Rachini Tong)==
: [[Image:BITDW49.jpg|centre|150px]]
Shown is the Dalek assault on Mars’ first colony Jacksonville. The sub-space blockage set up by the Daleks prior to their assault on Earth effectively isolated the colonists from their homeworld. Once the Earth conquest was under way Dalek attention turned to Mars. But the colonists, helped by the indigenous Ice Warriors, won against Dalek attack with a virus that ate Dalek cable insulation.
 
===[[Doctor Who: Battles in Time Issue 51]]===

===[[Doctor Who: Battles in Time Issue 53]]===
==The Nightmare Creature (From the report of General SJ Jackson IV)==
: [[Image:BITDW53.jpg|centre|150px]]
: Following the recovery of an unknown casing-damaged, Dalek  ‘creature’ from a crash site near a military base the sudden arrival of an alien mother ship with  “awesome” weaponry.

==The Match of the Daleks report compiled by Zorchin Azzoppadin==
: [[Image:BITDW55.jpg|centre|150px]]
: During the Second Great and Bountiful Human Empire, the Spindroids were created to mine and protect the radioactive planet JT227 and its reserves of Promethium 62. With the Promethium 62 which was used to break Dalek forcefields, the Humans were able to force the Daleks to retreat from star system after star system. The last battle of the Third Dalek War, took place above the planet on its 200 orbiting satellites. The Daleks were no match for the Spindroids which blasted and sliced through the Dalek casings.
 
===[[Doctor Who: Battles in Time Issue 57]]===
==The Worms That Turned! by Professor Jonah Effrid==
: [[Image:BITDW57.jpg|centre|150px]]
: Having found a source on the planet Uraka, of molybdenum (a tough metal used to build their saucer ship), the Daleks began to mine the planet only to be beaten by the huge Urakan Worms who had evolved with the molybdenum and become resistant to attack. <br>

===[[Doctor Who: Battles in Time Issue 59]]===
==The Battle of the [[Valiant]] from the memoirs of General Kerim Jendrassik==
: [[Image:BITDW59.jpg|centre|150px]]
 
: When the Daleks began their attack on the Earth, (prior to moving the planet across the Universe), the Valiant under UNIT command began its defence of the planet. It was specifically targeted by the Daleks and sustained heavy damage. When it was forced over heavily populated areas, the decision was taken to land on empty farmland thereby avoiding a further loss of life, but the battle continued…
 
===[[Doctor Who: Battles in Time Daleks vs Cybermen Special]]===
==Terror in the Streets! (from the online blog of V J Ellison)==

Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]

For an unknown reason, when depicting battles shown or referenced in the "Classic Series", the Dalek design used is the Time War Daleks introduced in 2005 instead of the correct classic Dalek types in the respective battles.
