Airborne Special Weapons Dalek
The Airborne Special Weapons Dalek was an altogether more sophisticated model in comparison to the Standard Battle type.
The Dalek conditioning techniques for these aggressive former renegades had become markedly more advanced by the time these were developed. Airborne Daleks were capable of intelligent speech and possessed interpretative skills when it came to following orders transmitted on the Dalek command net during intense battle situations. There was even anecdotal evidence to suggest that one Dalek creature who was originally housed within an Airborne Dalek casing had impressed its superiors to such an extent that it was relocated into a red Supreme Commander casing. The Airborne SWD was sleek in design and more aerodynamic than the standard Dalek design. It did not settle on the surface of a planet, but instead hovered constantly, eager to put into practice one of its many breath-taking battle maneuvers. (PROSE: Dalek Survival Guide)
