The '''Invasion of Manhattan''' was an attempted invasion of [[Manhattan]] in [[1930]] by the [[Dalek]] [[Cult of Skaro]], led by [[Dalek Caan]], after they overthrew [[Dalek Sec]]. Having converted over a thousand [[human]]s into [[Dalek-Human]]s, the Daleks' planned to convert the rest of Manhattan's [[population]] in what they intended to be the first stage of the [[conquest]] of [[Earth]]. However, the invasion was thwarted when the Dalek-Humans, having been imbued with the [[Tenth Doctor]]'s [[Time Lord]] [[DNA]], turned against the Cult of Skaro and destroyed Daleks [[Thay]] and [[Jast]]. In response, Dalek Caan remotely terminated all the Dalek-Humans before initiating an [[emergency temporal shift]] to escape.

A page that is trying to do too much. Coverage should be just the "invasion", the events of Evolution/Manhattan, anything else should be linking off to those articles, not being mini-summaries of those here.
These omissions are so great that the article's factual accuracy has been compromised. Check out the discussion page and revision history for further clues about what needs to be updated in this article.
The Invasion of Manhattan, (TV: Evolution of the Daleks) also known as the Dalek-Human Hybrid Incident, (PROSE: Dalek Combat Training Manual) was an attempted invasion of Manhattan in 1930 by the Dalek Cult of Skaro, led by Dalek Caan, after they overthrew Dalek Sec. Having converted over a thousand humans into Dalek-Humans, the Daleks' planned to convert the rest of Manhattan's population in what they intended to be the first stage of the conquest of Earth. However, the invasion was thwarted when the Dalek-Humans, having been imbued with the Tenth Doctor's Time Lord DNA, turned against the Cult of Skaro and destroyed Daleks Thay and Jast. In response, Dalek Caan remotely terminated all the Dalek-Humans before initiating an emergency temporal shift to escape. (TV: Evolution of the Daleks)

Prelude[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Main article: Battle of Canary Wharf
In anticipation of (PROSE: Birth of the Legend) or during the Last Great Time War, (PROSE: A Brief History of Time Lords, et. al) the Dalek Emperor assembled four Daleks who had shown initiative to become the Cult of Skaro, (PROSE: Birth of the Legend) tasking the new order to use imagination and "think as the enemy thinks". Consisting of Dalek Sec, the leader, Thay, Jast, and Caan, the Cult of Skaro escaped the universe to the Void in a Void Ship known as the Sphere. As such, they survived the near-extinction of the Daleks and, when they emerged within the Torchwood Tower on Earth in 2007, were believed by the Tenth Doctor to be the last surviving Daleks in existence.
However, they had brought with them the Genesis Ark, a dimensionally transcendental prison ship stolen from the Time Lords, which contained millions of Daleks. They soon came into conflict with an army of Cybermen who had crossed over from a parallel universe in the Sphere's wake. Though the Cult were successful in opening the Genesis Ark and unleashing the Daleks within, intending to exterminate all life on Earth, the Doctor forced those that had crossed over back through the Breach, with the Cult initiating an emergency temporal shift to escape whilst the other Daleks were sent into the Void along with the Cybermen.

Breaking the time lock, the temporal shift took Caan into the Time War where he rescued Davros from the Nightmare Child. Emerging in the post-war universe, Davros created a New Dalek Empire which invaded Earth. (TV: The Stolen Earth) One of the places where the Dalek struck was Manhattan, now the site of a UNIT base where Martha Jones was stationed. Martha escaped the attack and, upon coming into contact with the Doctor as one of the Children of Time, warned him that it was "not just Dalek Caan". Having saw time, Caan was believed to have gone insane; infact, he had come to believe that the Daleks must be destroyed, setting in motion a chain of events which led to the destruction of the empire. (TV: Journey's End) Nevertheless, one ship survived and, having found the last of the Progenitor devices, created a New Dalek Paradigm. (TV: Victory of the Daleks)
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
Explaining how Henry van Statten was unfamiliar with the Dalek he named Metaltron, The Time Traveller's Almanac suggested that the Van Statten Incident took place in a timeline where the Cult of Skaro did not emerge from the Sphere with the Empire State Building being constructed without their interference since the personal timelines of both the Doctor and the Dalek race had not progressed to the point where those events occurred.
