Summary

UNIT receives a report about the Thals. Once they were a warrior race who fought the Kaleds, but the neutron bomb which devasted Skaro ended their warrior ways. Unable to directly stop the Daleks, the Thals live on Skaro and make raids into the heart of the Dalek Empire. They are the universe's leading authority on Dalek technology, and thus an important ally to Earth.
