The Movellan Incident (PROSE: Dalek Combat Training Manual) was the Time Lord designation for a battle in the Dalek-Movellan War. After Davros was awoken in the remains of the Dalek City on Skaro, he sent a taskforce of Bomber Daleks, strapped with explosives, to destroy the Movellan ship that was also on the planet. The two forces met on the ground surrounding the craft, with the humans and the Fourth Doctor also taking part.
Premature detonation of the explosives meant that the attack failed. This defeat was significant in that it was a precursor to the imprisonment of Davros by the Movellans.
History
Events leading to the battle
When the Fourth Doctor held Davros hostage, he demanded all Dalek prisoners who were being used as slaves in order to find Davros be let go. Approximately forty humanoids were released. The Doctor escaped and Davros planned to evacuate Skaro before the Movellans could attack.
At the time the Movellans were programming their nova device. This bomb would ignite the atmosphere and destroy Skaro. A signal had been sent to a deep space cruiser to come to Skaro. Davros armed approximately forty Daleks with explosives.
The plan was that, before the Movellan ship could take off, the Daleks, carrying more than half a megaton of explosives, would press against the hull and Davros would detonate them to destroy the ship so the Doctor would not be able to help the Movellans defeat the Daleks in the space war. (TV: Destiny of the Daleks)
The conflict
Led by Tyssan and with help from the Fourth Doctor, the humans reprogrammed two Movellans and took full control of their ship. They planned to leave Skaro and were unaware of the Dalek force approaching. Davros did not know this and believed it was still manned by Movellans and the Doctor.
The humans armed themselves with Movellan weapons and Tyssan ordered a charge on the Daleks. The Daleks opened fire; the humans' weapons made no impact on them.
Off the battlefield, Davros had the detonator with him, ready to destroy the ship. The Doctor made his way into the Dalek base and confronted Davros, only to be held at gunpoint by another Dalek. He blinded the Dalek in command by throwing his hat onto its eyestalk. As it fired around the control centre, nearly hitting Davros, the Doctor placed an explosive on its casing and pushed it down a hall, where the explosive detonated, destroying the Dalek.
Tricking Davros, the Doctor detonated the explosives, and the Daleks, still engaged in the fighting, exploded before they could reach the ship. (TV: Destiny of the Daleks)
Aftermath
The cruiser never arrived and the nova device was never activated. The humans and the reprogrammed Movellans left Skaro to meet with a high-security ship from Earth. Davros, their prisoner, was placed in a cryogenic freezer and was to be put on trial for his crimes against the whole of sentient creation. (TV: Destiny of the Daleks) Tyssan arranged for the Earth Protection Corps to take custody of Davros. While en route ship charged with transporting him resuced the Tenth Doctor and Anya Kingdom from Enyo and was subsequently pursued by a Dalek saucer which captured it in a tractor beam. The crew opted to awaken Davros to attempt to negotiate, however an attack by Movellan forces interrupted their capture and caused them to crash land on Kembel. There the Movellan Prime Rocket, led by the First Movellan landed and captured the Doctor and Davros whilst the secret Dalek faction on Kembel captured Anya and the ship's commander. (AUDIO: The Dalek Defence) Davros attempted to use the guise of brokering an alliance between the Daleks and Movellans against humanity to infect the Movellans with a virus, however the Doctor stopped it spreading beyond Kembel. Earth Protection forces invaded Kembel and overcame the Dalek presence, recapturing Davros. (AUDIO: The Triumph of Davros) Davros' punishment was to be placed in suspended animation for all eternity whilst still remaining conscious.
In Davros' absence, the Daleks lost the war after the Movellans developed a virus which attacked the organic parts of the Daleks. Ninety years after his capture by humanity, the defeated Daleks attempted to rescue Davros in hopes of him providing a cure. He instead came to the belief his creations had failed and turned on them, (TV: Resurrection of the Daleks) going on to found his own faction of Daleks. (TV: Revelation of the Daleks) This schism culminated in the Imperial-Renegade Dalek civil war. (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks)
