Dalek (The Warrior's universe)
In the Warrior's universe, the Daleks were a species of mutated Kaleds created by Davros on Skaro. After the Fourth Doctor changed history by attempting to prevent their creation, the Daleks had their entire timeline rewritten, resulting in them allying with the Kaleds and the Thals to form the Unified Skaroan Alliance and, with the use of the Doctor's left-behind Time Ring, develop advanced time travel far earlier than in their original history. Eventually, the Daleks, Kaleds and Thals declared war on the Time Lords, recommencing the Time War.
History
Creation, death and rebirth
Much like their counterparts in the Doctor's universe, (AUDIO: Dust Devil, TV: Genesis of the Daleks) the Daleks of the Warrior's universe were created by Davros on Skaro during a war between the Kaleds and Thals. In the original timeline, the Daleks became powerful enough to engage the Time Lords in the Time War. In an attempt to end the War, the Time Lords sent the Fourth Doctor back to the creation of the Daleks to prevent the Daleks from being created. (AUDIO: Dust Devil) However, unlike in the Doctor's universe, (TV: Genesis of the Daleks) the Doctor succeeded in blowing up the Dalek incubation room on his first attempt, killing all (AUDIO: Dust Devil) but two (AUDIO: Aftershocks) of the newborn Dalek mutants inside. The resultant paradox violently rewrote the Dalek race's timeline, as well as that of the entire universe, causing the Daleks to, for a brief time, cease to develop beyond the initial prototypes.
However, in the immediate aftermath, one of the Dalek prototypes cornered the Doctor and his companions Sarah Jane Smith and Harry Sullivan outside Davros' laboratory before they could retrieve the Time Ring that they had used to arrive on Skaro in the first place. The Dalek swiftly exterminated Harry and Sarah before attempting to do the same to the Doctor; although it was able to mortally wound him, the Time Lords extracted the Doctor from time immediately before the Dalek's shot could kill the Doctor permanently. (AUDIO: Dust Devil) The Kaleds and Thals discovered the destroyed incubators and the Time Ring, and concluded that the Time Lords had attempted to destroy Skaro's future. Vowing to avenge the dead Dalek mutants and ensure that Skaro's future would never be threatened by aliens again, the Kaleds and Thals abandoned their war against each other to instead defeat the Time Lords and conquer time itself. In addition to recommencing the birthing of new Dalek mutants, the Kaleds, Thals and prototype Daleks successfully reverse-engineered the left-behind Time Ring to develop time technology on par with the Time Lords extremely quickly. Within the ruins of the incubators, the three races also found the two Dalek mutants who survived the incubators' destruction and fitted them inside a unique Dalek casing, forming the Twin Dalek.
Eventually, the Daleks, Kaleds and Thals formed a vast temporal military empire - the Unified Skaroan Alliance - and formally declared war against the Time Lords, recommencing the Time War. (AUDIO: Aftershocks)
Fighting in the Time War
As the Warrior considered the Time War to fundamentally lack a definitive chronology, due to its nature as a conflict in which time was constantly rewritten, (AUDIO: Dust Devil) by extension, the history of the Daleks' actions in the War were almost impossible to accurately chronologize. However, at least some form of chronology concerning the Daleks' actions in the Time War was discernible.
Within the Unified Skaroan Alliance, the Daleks were revered by the Kaleds and Thals, who craved vengeance against the Time Lords - particularly the Warrior, who they referred to as "the Doctor that Was" - for their role in attempting to avert the Daleks' creation. The Twin Dalek held an extremely high role in the Skaroan Empire, alongside Commander Esk, (AUDIO: Aftershocks) and Davros also fought for the Daleks. (AUDIO: The Key To Key To Time) The Time Lords continued to regularly regard the Daleks as their true enemy in the Time War, particularly as they frequently engaged the Daleks in battle without the presence of the Kaleds or Thals, (AUDIO: Dust Devil et al.) and bred countless generations of Time Lords who were raised solely to fight the Daleks. (AUDIO: The Difference Office) The Unified Skaroan Alliance installed a vast number of temporal defences around the exact moment that the Fourth Doctor destroyed the Dalek incubators, rendering it the most fortified point in all of time and preventing anyone from ever returning to it, although the Warrior made several futile attempts to return to and avert the incubators' destruction, (AUDIO: Aftershocks) although Davros and an alternate version of the Warrior briefly managed to return to the Kaled Dome at this time during their quest to assemble the Key to Time near the very end of the Time War. (AUDIO: The Key To Key To Time) The Daleks also destroyed this universe's equivalents of Karn and the Sisterhood of Karn, although the Time Lords managed to retrieve the Elixir of Life from the planet's ruins; it was eventually used by Narvin to allow the Fourth Doctor to regenerate into the Warrior. (AUDIO: Dust Devil)
During what the Warrior viewed as the start of the Time War, he authorised the use of two Temporal Bullets in order to kill the iteration of the Sixth Doctor from the original timeline - who was the Warrior's direct counterpart in said timeline - in order to prevent this Doctor from being captured and weaponised by the Daleks. (AUDIO: Dust Devil) The Warrior also authorised a stratagem to breed a species of psychic warriors powerful enough to fight the Daleks and ordered the Master to enact it. The latter did so on the Warrior's universe's version of Mordee, creating the Sevatesh, a hybrid of Sevateem and Tesh warriors, and secretly planned to use them to completely eradicate both the Daleks and Time Lords before conquering the multiverse, (AUDIO: Who Am I?) although the Master's plan ultimately never came to fruition before the destruction of the Warrior's universe. (AUDIO: The Key To Key To Time)
The Daleks frequently battled the Warrior and the Master together during the War, leading to constant acts of genocide and planetary destruction. (AUDIO: Aftershocks) A Dalek saucer and a Dalek time ship crashed on Marinus due to a paradox created by the Warrior's TARDIS materialising on a Millennian in Millennius, killing most of the Daleks onboard and leaving the few survivors to be killed by Marinus' deadly climate. The time ship was raided by rogue Bankrupt, although the Master was able to lead his own Bankrupt expedition in salvaging numerous Dalek gunsticks and a weapon powerful enough to break through the temporal barrier surrounding Millennius. All Dalek technology left on Marinus was destroyed when the Warrior dematerialised in his TARDIS following the Master's rebellion against Horol. (AUDIO: Time Killers)
During the Warrior's Presidency, the Daleks invaded the Bridgeheaded Carthidge. The Warrior authorised the War Room to incinerate the entire Carthidge, killing all the invading Daleks as well as the vast number of non-Dalek lifeforms within. By this time, the Alliance had formed to fight both the Daleks and Time Lords and end the Time War. (AUDIO: The Difference Office)
Extinction
By the final segment of the Time War, the Daleks and their technology were constantly shifting between different eras of their evolution due to time degrading even further as a result of the damage inflicted to the universe by the War. Regardless, they continued to fight the Time Lords. (WC: The Warrior Meets His Destiny) At some point, the Daleks established a base on Necros, but this was eventually destroyed by two decades used as projectiles as part of a Time Lord attack on the planet, led by Romanadvoratrelundar of the Collective Victorious. The majority of the Time Lord fleet proceeded to combat the Daleks in a temporal retaliation, although Romanadvoratrelundar's gunship dematerialised to instead monitor the Warrior's quest for the Key to Time, which some of the Daleks did as well.
As the Warrior and Davros assembled the Key, all matter in the universe became aware of their nature as potential segments of the Key to Time. A force of Daleks was driven insane by this realisation, causing them to fly their saucer to Aridius (AUDIO: The Key To Key To Time) as the last surviving Mire Beast was about to kill the Sixth Doctor of the original timeline. While the Doctor believed that the Daleks were responsible for killing the Mire Beast and saving his life, (AUDIO: Dust Devil) the creature was actually killed by the Warrior, who used the Key segment locator to shrink the Mire Beast and extract the segment of the Key to Time that it had ingested from its body. The Warrior was transported onboard the Dalek saucer by the Key segment immediately afterwards, separated from Davros, and was confronted by the Daleks onboard, who repeatedly stated that he was seeking the Key to Time. The Warrior was returned to his TARDIS afterwards, along with another segment of the Key.
The Daleks were ultimately rendered extinct, along with all other life in the universe barring Davros and the Warrior, when a sample of temporal horfrost unleashed upon the Warrior's TARDIS by Romanadvoratrelundar seeped into the Time Vortex and spread across the entire universe by latching onto the time particles inherent in all matter, destroying the universe in the process. (AUDIO: The Key To Key To Time)
Other realities
The original timeline
In the original timeline, the Doctor ultimately refused to avert the creation of the Daleks, and the Daleks eventually fought the Time Lords in the Time War, which led to the Time Lords sending the Fourth Doctor back in time to prevent the Daleks' creation. Due to the Fourth Doctor averting the Daleks' creation during the Time War, the original Daleks, and by extension, the rest of the original timeline, were erased from existence by the resultant paradox, along with approximately one million other timelines. Even after being displaced into the Warrior's universe, the Sixth Doctor of the original timeline was able to recognise a Dalek saucer of the Warrior's universe's Daleks on sight, despite the saucer originating from a different reality to that of his timeline's Daleks. The iteration of Peri Brown that traveled with him also recognised the relevancy of the Daleks from a mere mention of the word "Skaro." (AUDIO: Dust Devil)
The Carrisent Particum timelines
In the first of the Carrisent Particum timelines, the Daleks and the Unified Skaroan Alliance conquered Gallifrey and reduced the planet to a backwater world, winning the Time War with such speed that, in the words of a memory of the Master, "there was no War." The Celestial Intervention Agency was integrated into the Skaroan Empire, with the Twin Dalek replacing Narvin as the CIA's Coordinator, which was kept secret from the rest of the Skaroan Empire. Over the next several years, the Daleks conquered the rest of the universe and seized full control over time, although rumours spread of the existence of resistance to Dalek rule. The Skaroan Empire planned to follow this with the creation of a new universe in the Daleks' image.
However in the aftermath, still craving vengeance against the Warrior for his previous incarnation's attempt at averting the creation of the Daleks, the Unified Skaroan Alliance decided to capture the Warrior and publicly place him on trial. To this end, a squad of Daleks, overseen by Commander Esk, manufactured a Carrisent Particum, a temporal prison devised by Esk to imprison the Warrior's entire personal timeline and everything connected to it, trapping him for all eternity. Before he could be captured by the Unified Skaroan Alliance, the Warrior engineered a plan with the Master to avert the Daleks' conquest of Gallifrey by destroying the Carrisent Particum at the exact moment it would imprison him, forcing the Warrior to regenerate and creating a paradox that would reverse time to the start of the Warrior's upcoming interrogation by the Celestial Intervention Agency on Skaro, albeit leaving the past Warrior with severe amnesia and requiring a future memory of the Master, released by the Warrior's regeneration, to guide the past Warrior to destroy the Particum again at the end of his trial in order to force time back further to prior to the Daleks' invasion of Gallifrey.
Shortly after Commander Esk's Daleks completed the first Carrisent Particum, another Dalek informed Esk during a briefing of the Skaroan generals that the Warrior was being interrogated by the CIA. Esk then relayed this information to the Twin Dalek, who eventually usurped her plans to send a shuttle to an alternative base and instead redirected the shuttle to the Warrior's ongoing trial. When Esk contacted the Twins and ordered them to return the shuttle to her base, a squad of Daleks relieved her of her duties before exterminating her. The Twin Dalek then arrived at the Warrior's trial and eventually ordered the use of the Carrisent Particum, only for the Warrior to blow up the Particum with a detonator at the exact moment that the Particum closed around him, triggering a vast explosion that killed the thousands of people present to witness his trial and reverting time to the start of his interrogation by the CIA.
After countless failed attempts to fully revert this timeline, resulting in countless near-identical versions of the initial Carrisent Particum timeline being sealed and destroyed inside the Particum only for the Warrior to return to the start of his interrogation by the CIA, the Warrior finally succeeded in sealing the original Carrisent Particum timeline inside the Particum, albeit by diverting from the path planned by his future self and the Master, ultimately leading to the Master being exterminated by the Twin Dalek. Upon succeeding, he returned to Gallifrey shortly before the Daleks' invasion, although he was left distressed and confused by the continued presence of a Particum in Narvin's office containing a version of himself despite seemingly averting the timeline in which the Particum was created. Despite this anomaly, he managed to ensure that the Dalek invasion of Gallifrey failed, (AUDIO: Aftershocks) although he failed to end the Time War in this manner.
By the time the Warrior was assigned by the White Guardian to assemble the Key to Time, he referred to his actions in averting the Carrisent Particum timelines as "the Expulsion of Skaro." (AUDIO: The Key To Key To Time)
Appearance
The Daleks of the Warrior's universe evolved and devolved into a variety of Dalek variants over the course of the Time War, (WC: The Warrior Meets His Destiny [+]Loading...["The Warrior Meets His Destiny (webcast)"]) many of which were shared with the Daleks of the Doctor's universe. (TV: Genesis of the Daleks et al.)
At their creation, the prototype Daleks were identical (AUDIO: Dust Devil) to the Genesis Daleks of the Doctor's universe, who were themselves the first Grey Daleks. (TV: Genesis of the Daleks) Bronze Daleks served as the standard Dalek drones in the Time War, (WC: Doctor Who Unbound - Doctor of War: Genesis [+]Loading...["Doctor Who Unbound - Doctor of War: Genesis (webcast)"], WC: The Warrior Meets His Destiny [+]Loading...["The Warrior Meets His Destiny (webcast)"]) as they did in the Last Great Time War of the Doctor's universe. (TV: Dalek et al.) In the final segment of the Time War, due to time degrading even further, the Bronze Daleks occasionally devolved into more primitive Dalek variants, (WC: The Warrior Meets His Destiny [+]Loading...["The Warrior Meets His Destiny (webcast)"]) including Type V Daleks (TV: Death to the Daleks) and Dalek War Machines. (TV: The Daleks) By the time the Daleks conquered time in the Carrisent Particum timelines, the Dalek drones utilised silver versions of the Bronze Dalek casings. (AUDIO: Aftershocks)
Type E Dalek Supremes (PROSE: Dalek Combat Training Manual [+]Loading...{"chaptname":"Dalek Hierarchy","chaptnum":"VI","1":"Dalek Combat Training Manual (reference book)"}, TV: The Stolen Earth) commanded Dalek time ships, (WC: The Warrior Meets His Destiny [+]Loading...["The Warrior Meets His Destiny (webcast)"]) and, during the Time War's final segment, one devolved into a variant of the Black Dalek Leader (TV: The Chase) with silver sense globes, (WC: The Warrior Meets His Destiny [+]Loading...["The Warrior Meets His Destiny (webcast)"]) as well as the Dalek Prime's golden Dalek Emperor casing, (COMIC: Invasion of the Daleks) before shifting into the Black Dalek Leader's Dalek Earthforce Supreme Controller casing, (TV: The Dalek Invasion of Earth) before stabilising as a scorched, dead Bronze Dalek with a curved wire around each luminosity discharger. (WC: The Warrior Meets His Destiny [+]Loading...["The Warrior Meets His Destiny (webcast)"])
During the Time War's final segment, two Bronze Daleks onboard this Supreme's Dalek time ship briefly devolved into two separate Dalek variants (WC: The Warrior Meets His Destiny [+]Loading...["The Warrior Meets His Destiny (webcast)"]) reminiscent of two Dalek variants from Dr. Who's reality; (TV: Dr. Who and the Daleks) one transformed into a black and silver Dalek (WC: The Warrior Meets His Destiny [+]Loading...["The Warrior Meets His Destiny (webcast)"]) reminiscent of the Black Dalek that led the Skaro City Daleks, (TV: Dr. Who and the Daleks) while another transformed into a Red Dalek (WC: The Warrior Meets His Destiny [+]Loading...["The Warrior Meets His Destiny (webcast)"]) near-identical to the Red Dalek that served as second-in-command to the Black Dalek of Dr. Who's reality. (TV: Dr. Who and the Daleks)
Early into the Time War, a Dalek (WC: Doctor Who Unbound - Doctor of War: Genesis [+]Loading...["Doctor Who Unbound - Doctor of War: Genesis (webcast)"]) reminiscent of a Special Weapons Dalek, (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks et al.) albeit with a red eyestalk, was present in some ruins on Skaro alongside two Bronze Daleks. (WC: Doctor Who Unbound - Doctor of War: Genesis [+]Loading...["Doctor Who Unbound - Doctor of War: Genesis (webcast)"])
The Twin Dalek existed within an entirely unique casing specifically designed to facilitate them, due to being a pair of Dalek mutants that could only survive by coexisting in a single casing. (AUDIO: Aftershocks)
Characteristics
Similarly to their counterparts in the original timeline - whom Sarah Jane Smith described as "the most evil creatures ever invented" (AUDIO: Dust Devil) - and their equivalents in the Doctor's universe, (TV: The Daleks et al.) the Daleks of the Warrior's universe were a species of genocidal warmongers who firmly believed that they were superior to all other lifeforms in existence, and thus all other species existed solely to serve the Dalek race. They particularly hated the Time Lords for their attempt at averting their creation, and fought fiercely to conquer them entirely and win the Time War as vengeance; (AUDIO: Aftershocks) such was their dedication to this goal that they continued fighting the Time Lords relentlessly until the very end of the universe. (AUDIO: The Key To Key To Time) The Daleks also regarded the Warrior as their greatest enemy for being directly responsible for the Time Lords' attempt to avert their creation, and their thirst for vengeance was such that only the eternal confinement of the Warrior's timeline inside the Carrisent Particum would satisfy them. They also continued to refer to the Warrior as "the Doctor", or alternatively "the Doctor that Was", as opposed to the new title that he embraced upon regenerating from the Fourth Doctor.
While they fought alongside the Kaleds and Thals as part of the Alliance, and thus tolerated the two species' existence to some extent, within the Carrisent Particum timelines, they began to grow discontent with the prospect of ruling the universe alongside them, as evidenced by a squad of Daleks exterminating Commander Esk to allow the Twin Dalek to steal the Carrisent Particum. The Kaleds and Thals failed to recognise the Daleks' growing rebelliousness, however, as they greatly respected the Daleks. Commander Esk viewed the Dalek mutants that died when the Fourth Doctor destroyed the incubators as "innocents" who were murdered "without remorse", and frequently referred to the later Dalek generations that fought in the Time War as "comrades" whom she respected far more than her own soldiers, going as far as to describe the Daleks as "like phoenixes" rising from the ruins of Skaro that destroyed all who opposed the Skaroan Empire. (AUDIO: Aftershocks) The majority of the universe were fully aware of the Daleks' ruthlessness, as the civilisations within the Alliance considered both the Daleks and the Time Lords to be equally monstrous. Styggron, one of their members, described the two species as "brutal creatures driven by hate and the desire to kill". (AUDIO: The Difference Office) However, the Sevateem, Tesh, (AUDIO: Who Am I?) and Millennians were initially unaware of the Daleks' existence. (AUDIO: Time Killers) The Master considered the Daleks to "lack the Time Lords' panache" when naming their technology. (AUDIO: Aftershocks)
Unlike the Daleks of the Doctor's universe, who had a highly conflicted relationship with Davros, (TV: Genesis of the Daleks) the Daleks of the Warrior's universe tolerated Davros enough for him to serve them in the Time War. (AUDIO: The Key To Key To Time)
