Vel Karneen planning the incursion into Skaro.^{[source needed]}

Vel Karneen was a famous Martian, living in the year 2400. He was renowned as the Commander of the Space Army who fought off the Dalek invasion of the solar system — first defeating their fleet over Venus (PROSE: The Secret of the Mountain) and later leading the Space Army to Skaro itself. (PROSE: Break-through!)

Vel Karneen is again mentioned within The Dalek Book, in the non-narrative Dalek Dictionary. There, Karneen is referred to as Commander of the Space Armies, rather than of the Space Army.

 == Behind the scenes ==
 * Vel Karneen is again mentioned within ''[[The Dalek Book]]'', in the non-narrative ''[[The Dalek Dictionary|Dalek Dictionary]]''. There, Karneen is referred to as Commander of the Space Arm''ies'', rather than of the Space Arm''y''.
-* Although his military prowess and his name are consistent with "the Martian Vel Karneen" being an [[Ice Warrior]] specifically, this cannot as such be assumed to be the case for the simple reason that the Ice Warriors had not actually debuted in ''[[Doctor Who]]'' at the time of Karneen's debut.
