The Forbidden Planet was a feature in Doctor Who and the Daleks Omnibus which introduced Skaro's moon Falkus. It notably gave the earliest account of Davros' life after the events of TV: Genesis of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)"], which would be contradicted by TV: Destiny of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Destiny of the Daleks (TV story)"].
Summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
Falkus was created by the Daleks based upon Davros' plans. The city under its surface was a living machine. It could repair and service itself, hear, see and feel. The Daleks also built Falkus with defensive capabilities should it ever be attacked.
The Daleks who built Falkus had their memories wiped so they did not know its true purpose.
Falkus served as a sanctuary for the Dalek race and all Daleks would think of Falkus with a sacred quality although none of them knew of its true function. Only the Supreme Dalek knew Falkus' purpose: a planet-sized Dalek gene-bank capable of creating thousands of Daleks in mere seconds.
Falkus was created as the Daleks' last hope in the face of extinction. The living brain of Davros resided within the heart of Falkus, ready to be placed in a new body and start the production in the factory should the Daleks ever become extinct. The Dalek Supreme would visit Falkus every hundred years in a one-man shuttle to make sure Falkus was still running.
