History[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Invasion[[edit] | [edit source]]

First, the fires caused by the landing Dalek ships alerted the Amarylls to the Daleks' presence. Scout Daleks were sent out. They used fire-rays to clear a path when the Amarylls contacted their Controller deep in the core of the planet. Told to attack, the Amarylls blew seeds at the Daleks, which penetrated their casings, grew inside and strangled them from within.

One Amaryll was captured and studied by the Daleks. It told them that Alvega would never fall to the Daleks. Amarylls then began to attack the Daleks ships when the Dalek Emperor ordered lift-off. As the main fleet continued on to other worlds, four ships stayed behind to scorch the planet. Most Amarylls were burned. Three ships then landed with the intention of building a city while another ship searched the planet.

The Controller counterattacked with an Alvega Earthworm, which crushed the three landed ships. The Daleks in the fourth ship devised a plan to attack the Controller. The ship burrowed into the ground with excavation drills until it was attacked by the worm. The ship was crushed and the Daleks inside, having killed the worm, were trapped underground.

They made their way to the planet's core, buried and crushed by falling debris, until only one Dalek remained alive. It attacked the Controller and destroyed it, causing the planet to explode. The Emperor, observing this from the fleet, decreed that whatever the Daleks could not conquer, they would destroy. (COMIC: The Amaryll Challenge)

Aftermath and legacy[[edit] | [edit source]]

Human historians in the post-Time War universe, following the Siege of Trenzalore, were aware of the story of Alvega but could not confirm the claim that it was the first world to fall to the Daleks. (PROSE: Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe)
