Dalek Empire

This article is about the term "Dalek Empire" as used in the Doctor Who Universe. For other uses of the term, see Dalek Empire (disambiguation).

The Daleks formed the Dalek Empire in an unknown period in their history, presumably after venturing into space from the planet Skaro. The Daleks would later seek to expand their empire into all of history as well, using time travel. It still centred itself around Skaro. (DW: The Evil of the Daleks, DW: Day of the Daleks)

During the Dalek Civil War, the Empire broke into a faction known as the Imperial Daleks, loyal to Davros (now calling himself the Emperor) and another, the Renegade Daleks, loyal to the Supreme Dalek. Waging war with each other, the Doctor seemed to have defeated both factions. (DW: Remembrance of the Daleks)

The Dalek Prime and Davros survived the war and encountered one another once more during a decline in Dalek pervasiveness throughout the galaxy. Davros was again defeated and the Dalek Prime began to rebuild the Empire. (EDA: War of the Daleks)

War of the Daleks however was so poorly received by fans that it's canonicity in the spin-off material is disputed, let alone towards the TV series.

By the Last Great Time War with the Time Lords of Gallifrey, the Daleks had once more re-unified their empire under the Emperor. (DW: Dalek).

Dalek Caan rescued Davros from the Time War in an attempt to recreate the Empire. The result was the New Dalek Empire. (DW:The Stolen Earth, DW:Journey's End)
