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, commencing the Time War.

History
Creation, death and rebirth
Much like their N-Space counterparts (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 N-Space, (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
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 Carrisent Particum timelines, the Daleks and the rest of 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. After imprisoning the Warrior in an interogation complex on Skaro, the Daleks and the Skaroan Empire proceeded to conquer the rest of the universe and seize full control over time. Still craving vengeance against the Warrior, the Skaroan Empire commissioned a squad of Daleks, supervised by Commander Esk, to develop a Carrisent Particum to imprison the Warrior's personal timeline within for all eternity as his sentence following his trial. The Skaroan Empire planned to follow this with the creation of a new universe in the Daleks' image. (AUDIO: Aftershocks)
