The Imperial Daleks were a faction of Daleks loyal to their creator, Davros, rather than the Dalek Supreme. They found for Davros, their new Emperor in the Imperial-Renegade War.

History

Davros experimented with a new kind of Dalek at the Tranquil Repose funerary complex on Necros, using parts from teh cryogenically frozen bodies there. Some, like Arthur Stengos, he decapitated and modified and placed, still living, and modified, into a Glass Dalek casing. Stengos' personality shifted from that of a Human to that of a Dalek. (DW: Revelation of the Daleks)

Orcini set off an exploion Davros' bunker, killing many of the prototype Imperials. other Daleks, loyal to the Dalek Supreme then apphrehended him to take him to Skaro for trial. (DW: Revelation of the Daleks) As part of a long-term strategy, the Doctor himself rescued Davros so that he could further develop the Imperials and caused an eventual Imperial-Renegade Dalek War. (DWM: Emperor of the Daleks!)

At a later stage in the Renegade-Imperial Dalek War, he created Imperial Daleks by grafting bionic appendages onto the bodies of Kaled mutants. (DW: Rememberance of the Daleks)

We do not know how many of the Imperial Daleks or their warfleet survived when the Hand of Omega caused Skaro's sun to supernova.

Davros survived the destruction of Skaroand created a new army of Imperial Daleks from Earth's population by releasing a virus that turned humans into Dalek mutants. Davros' mind was taken over by a completely Dalek personality, and this new Emperor assumed control of the Imperial Dalek army. (BFA: Terror Firma)

It was not stated if the Imperial or Renegade factions were dominant at this point or after.

Appearance

The basic Imperial Daleks had white livery with gold bumps, and high-pitched voices. (DW: Revelaion of the Daleks)

Later Imperials now had golden eye-stalks and a lozenge shape on the front of their casings, and their gold plungers were slotted to fit into machinery. (DW: Rememberance of the Daleks)

A civil war, ostensibly over racial purity, broke out between the original, now Renegade Daleks, and the Imperial Daleks. Although their firepower was weak, Imperial Daleks augmented their battle tactics with the Special Weapons Dalek, now converted over to the Imperial cause and sporting a partially white casing.
