The '''New Dalek Empire''' was a recreation of the old [[Dalek Empire]], which was destroyed during the [[Last Great Time War]].
=== First attempts ===
The New Dalek Empire was to be the new Empire of the Daleks that the [[Cult of Skaro]] had planned to create. The very first attempt was on planet Earth with the [[Genesis Ark]], to unlock it and unleash the Daleks within, which the [[Tenth Doctor]] thwarted. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doomsday (TV story)|Doomsday]]'')


==Overview==
Time travelling from [[London]] in [[2007]] to [[New York City]] in [[1930]], the Cult, now the last four [[Dalek]]s in existence, attempted to conquer [[Earth]] and recreate the Dalek Empire. This attempt, even with the help of the [[Final Experiment]] (which included use of [[Pig slave]]s and [[human-Dalek]] hybrids) failed due to the interference of the Tenth Doctor. By the end, [[Dalek Caan]] was the last surviving Dalek in all of creation. ([[TV]]: ''[[Daleks in Manhattan (TV story)|Daleks in Manhattan]]''/''[[Evolution of the Daleks (TV story)|Evolution of the Daleks]]'')
The New Dalek Empire was somewhat different compared to the Dalek forces that appeared after their empire's supposed destruction in the Time War. They were not survivors using scattered technology but rather a true empire and quite capable of combating [[Time Lord]] technology. They were even capable of capturing and disabling a [[TARDIS]]. Their forces consisted of hundreds of starships with enough power to devastate the universe. Their central base of operations was the [[Crucible]] where they planned to reside on when the [[reality bomb]] destroyed the universe.

The Daleks moved 27 planets into the [[Medusa Cascade]] from various times and places (mostly mid-[[2009]], but from other eras as well). These made a large device when put together. The new Daleks then [[War in the Medusa Cascade|took control over the planets in the Cascade]], apparently concentrating their forces on [[Earth]]. They took many [[Human]]s aboard their ships, and wiped out any resistance. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Stolen Earth]]'')

The [[Supreme Dalek (The Stolen Earth)|Supreme Dalek]] made an arrangement with Davros; the creator of the Daleks would ensure their domination of the universe if they allowed him to live. The plan failed by the interference of [[the DoctorDonna]], who closed off all of the [[Z-Neutrino]] energy relay loops of the reality bomb by using an [[internalised synchronous back-feed reversal loop]], locked the Daleks' weaponry in a [[self-replicating energy blindfold matrix]] through [[macrotransmission of a K-filter wavelength]], and interfered with the Daleks' systems with a [[trip stitch circuit-breaker]] in the [[psycho-kinetic threshold manipulator]]. The [[Meta-Crisis Doctor]] destroyed the fleet and the ''Crucible'' by maximising the [[Dalekanium]] [[Dalekanium power feed|power feeds]] and blasting them back.

The new Empire planned to use the 27 planets in the Medusa Cascade in conjunction with the [[Crucible]]'s energy source to power a [[Reality bomb]] created by Davros. This would have led to the destruction of all of existence and allow the Daleks to be the sole inhabitants of the universe. However, interference from the Doctor and his companion [[Donna Noble]] led to the device being destroyed. Despite this, the Daleks had enough troops and starships to slaughter the universe until they were killed by the New Doctor overloading and feeding back the [[Dalekanium]].
By unknown means, Davros escaped the destruction of the ''Crucible'', and returned to [[Skaro]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)|The Magician's Apprentice]]'')


Also, Dalek Caan was in fact working against them and aiding the Doctor, having deemed the entire race evil after seeing what they had done. This act destroyed all the Daleks and their starships which includes the Crucible. Its presumed that the Dalek race were destroyed as a result of this act, although as Caan and Davros were not affected, theoretically there could have been others immune to the effect as well, Davros's chair was of a different design to a base Dalek's, also Caan's armour appeared to have no energy so no 'power feed' could be blasted back.

== Behind the scenes ==
Somehow, a trio of Daleks managed to escape the destruction of the Crucible. Fleeing back through time, they attempted to use a [[Progenitor]] Device, which contained enough Dalek DNA to restore the species. However, as the surviving Daleks were created from Davros' cells, the Progenitor did not recognise their DNA as "true" Dalek, and refused to activate.
* According to the non-narrative "[[The Dalek Handbook]]", three Daleks in ''[[Victory of the Daleks (TV story)|Victory of the Daleks]]'' were members of the New Dalek Empire and the survivors of the Medusa Cascade. ''[[Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe]]'' later confirmed this.

The Daleks set in motion a plan to lure [[Eleventh Doctor|the Doctor]], the one being who could positively identify them, to the same time period. Travelling to [[1940]], they posed as "Ironsides", the inventions of Professor [[Edwin Bracewell]] (who was actually an [[Android]] they created and implanted with human memories) and offered to assist [[Winston Churchill]] in winning [[World War II]]. When the Doctor discovered the Daleks, he attacked them, declaring their true name out loud. The Daleks transmitted this "testimony" to the Progenitor, which accepted their Dalek-ness, and began creation of the new Dalek race. The first act of the new Daleks was to destroy the old ones, declaring them "inferior". The new Daleks then threatened the Doctor with the revelation that Bracewell contained an [[Oblivion Continuum]] bomb, easily capable of destroying the Earth. Although the Doctor managed to disarm the bomb, the new Daleks utilised a [[Time corridor]] to escape to the future, in order to begin rebuilding their empire. ([[DW]]: ''[[Victory of the Daleks]]'')

You may be looking for New Dalek Paradigm.

The New Dalek Empire was founded by Davros in the aftermath of the Last Great Time War, which had destroyed the original Dalek Empire. Though founding the New Empire, Davros eventually lost control of it, the empire falling under the reign of the Supreme One.

Overview[[edit] | [edit source]]

The New Dalek Empire was very different from the prior Dalek force that was created by the Dalek Emperor following the Last Great Time War. The prior force was full of insane hybrids. (TV: The Parting of the Ways) The New Dalek Empire, however, was dramatically larger, and quite capable of combating even Time Lord technology: they could capture and disable a TARDIS. Their forces consisted of hundreds of starships with enough power to devastate the universe. Their central base of operations was the Crucible, on which the Daleks planned to reside when the reality bomb destroyed the rest of reality. (TV: Journey's End)

History[[edit] | [edit source]]

A day to come[[edit] | [edit source]]

Through the projections of the Matrix, the Last Great Time War-era Time Lords foresaw the new empire, considering their strategy the Daleks' most diabolical plan yet. They were concerned that Davros was once again working with his creations, yet they were alarmed even more by how a single bronze Dalek, even if it had enhanced mental capacity, was able to break through a time lock. The Time Lords began to investigate the matter. Despite foreseeing how the encounter ended, the Time Lords noted that moving the Earth was one of their own tactics, having done so during the Ravolox Affair. Therefore, they realised the Daleks were willing to employ their own tactics against them. Furthermore, the fact that the Daleks managed to move the Earth without devastating the planetary biosphere proved to the Gallifreyans that their enemy had better technology than their own. The ways through which the New Dalek Empire moved entire planets thus became a matter that they began to urgently study. (PROSE: Dalek Combat Training Manual)

First attempts[[edit] | [edit source]]

The New Dalek Empire was to be the new Empire of the Daleks that the Cult of Skaro had planned to create. The very first attempt was on planet Earth with the Genesis Ark, to unlock it and unleash the Daleks within, which the Tenth Doctor thwarted. (TV: Doomsday)

Time travelling from London in 2007 to New York City in 1930, the Cult, now the last four Daleks in existence, attempted to conquer Earth and recreate the Dalek Empire. This attempt, even with the help of the Final Experiment (which included use of Pig slaves and human-Dalek hybrids) failed due to the interference of the Tenth Doctor. By the end, Dalek Caan was the last surviving Dalek in all of creation. (TV: Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks)

New Empire[[edit] | [edit source]]

Caan activated an emergency temporal shift to escape the Doctor in 1930, (TV: Evolution of the Daleks) and ended up at the Gates of Elysium during the Last Great Time War. Travelling into a time-locked era damaged his mind, but he helped to save Davros from his death. Davros built a Dalek Fleet of two hundred ships with millions of Daleks. He rebuilt the Daleks out of his own Kaled cells. Caan was left as a sort of prophet, and a new Supreme Dalek was created to oversee the Dalek forces.

The Daleks are the masters of Earth. (TV: The Stolen Earth)

As a result of his actions, Davros regarded Caan with immense respect and defended him against anybody who criticised him, including the Supreme Dalek. (TV: The Stolen Earth) However, no one knew that Caan was secretly plotting against them, having now realised the truth of the Daleks following his temporal shift into the Time War. (TV: Journey's End)

In the 2000s,[nb 1] the Daleks transported 27 planets into the Medusa Cascade from various times and places. The new Daleks then took control over the planets in the Cascade. In their attack on Earth, they took many humans aboard their ships, and wiped out any resistance that they met. Everything was placed one second out of sync with the rest of the universe to hide it from those who might stop them, such as the Tenth Doctor. (TV: The Stolen Earth)

The new Empire planned to use the 27 planets in conjunction with the Crucible's energy source to power a reality bomb created by Davros, who intend to use it to destroy everything in existence and allow the Daleks to be the sole inhabitants and masters of the universe. The Supreme Dalek made an arrangement with Davros; the creator of the Daleks would ensure their domination of the universe if they allowed him to live. The plan failed by the interference of the DoctorDonna, who closed off all of the Z-Neutrino energy relay loops of the reality bomb by using an internalised synchronous back-feed reversal loop, locked the Daleks' weaponry in a self-replicating energy blindfold matrix through macrotransmission of a K-filter wavelength, and interfered with the Daleks' systems with a trip stitch circuit-breaker in the psycho-kinetic threshold manipulator. The Meta-Crisis Doctor destroyed the fleet and the Crucible by maximising the Dalekanium power feeds and blasting them back. (TV: Journey's End)

By unknown means, Davros escaped the destruction of the Crucible, and returned to Skaro. (TV: The Magician's Apprentice)

Legacy[[edit] | [edit source]]

One saucer of the New Dalek Empire survived its fall, (PROSE: Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe) with its crew masterminding the Ironside Project that led to the creation of the New Dalek Paradigm, a third Dalek Empire led by purebred Daleks. (TV: Victory of the Daleks) Rusty observed visions of the New Dalek Empire's attack on the Valiant, and the Empire's destruction, when he saw into the mind of the Twelfth Doctor. In doing so, he felt the Doctor's hatred for the Daleks, and turned against his own kind, massacring the Dalek boarding party aboard the Aristotle. (TV: Into the Dalek)
