According to the [[Seventh Doctor]], the mothership potentially held as many as [[400 (number)|400]] Daleks, and possessed weapons that could easily crack open an [[Earth]]-like planet "like an [[egg]]". The mothership also contained a creche where [[Dalek embryos]] listened to indoctrination tapes while being fed nutrients. It was powered by a [[fusion reactor]]. One Dalek was plugged into the computer where it could control the creche and [[servo-robot]]s on the outer hull of the ship.

==History== | |||
On the [[planet]] [[Spiridon]], [[Davros]] amassed an army of loyal Daleks, opposing the [[Emperor Dalek (Nemesis of the Daleks)|Emperor Dalek]] based on Skaro. After surviving an attack by the Emperor's forces, Davros took the mothership to Skaro. Once there, he seized control of the planet, destroying the Emperor Dalek and naming himself the new Emperor.

During the resulting [[Imperial-Renegade Dalek Civil War]], Davros searched for the [[Hand of Omega]], taking the mothership over [[Earth]] in [[1963]]. Ultimately, the mothership was [[Shoreditch Incident|destroyed]] by the Hand of Omega. Davros was the only survivor, immediately fleeing from the ship when the Doctor refused to stop his attack.

There were a number of [[escape pod]]s on board the vessel. Davros used one to escape when the Hand of Omega was used to destroy the mothership.
