[[Federation]] Archivist [[Van Kalik]], writing in ''[[From Break-out to Empire: Essays on the Third Millennium]]'', did not acknowledge the [[2060s]] conflict between the [[Dalek]]s and [[human]]ity. He said that although the popular view of [[Earth]] before the [[Break-out]], which he dated to the closing [[year]]s of the [[21st century]], was a [[planet]] "permanently besieged" in actuality humankind was at [[peace]] with its neighbours. He labelled the [[Cyberman|Cybermen]] and "[[Martian]]" threats as past and the near-[[destruction]] of [[life]] on Earth in the [[First Dalek War]] as still almost a [[century]] in the [[future]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Prelude Deceit (short story)|Prelude Deceit]]'') | |||
At some point, the human [[Colony|colonists]] on [[Vulcan (Invasion of the Daleks)|Vulcan]] were threatened by a smaller-scale Dalek attack. Their success was prevented with help from the [[Second Doctor]], [[Ben Jackson]], and [[Polly Wright]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Power of the Daleks (TV story)|The Power of the Daleks]]'') The Doctor concluded that the [[invasion]] in the [[22nd century]] had not yet taken place, apparently explaining why the colonists were unfamiliar with the threat of the Daleks. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Power of the Daleks (novelisation)|The Power of the Daleks]]'') In [[2136]], [[Terri Willis]] told Ben that the Daleks were "just [[legend]]s". When Ben attempted to convince her he had really encountered them by mentioning Vulcan, Terri told him Vulcan itself was also "practically a legend". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Murder Game (novel)|The Murder Game]]'') | |||
Having rebuilt from their previous failed attempt, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Return of the Elders (comic story)|Return of the Elders]]'') the Daleks launched [[22nd century Dalek invasion|another invasion]] in [[2157]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lucifer Rising (novel)|Lucifer Rising]]'') Earth was bombarded by [[meteorite]]s which was first thought to be a result of a [[cosmic storm]] but shortly afterwards, people started dying from a [[plague]] sent by the Daleks via the meterorites. The majority of the [[population]] of [[Africa]], [[Asia]], and [[South America]] died before a [[cure]] was found, severely weakening Earth's defences. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Dalek Invasion of Earth (TV story)|The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]'') The [[Terran Security Forces]] were easily defeated ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Final Sanction (novel)|The Final Sanction]]'') and [[New York City]] was completely destroyed. The Daleks ultimately held the Earth for a [[decade]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Dalek Invasion of Earth (TV story)|The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]'') | |||
In [[2167]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Mutant Phase (audio story)|The Mutant Phase]]'') the [[First Doctor]], [[Susan Foreman]], [[Ian Chesterton]], and [[Barbara Wright]] arrived in Dalek-occupied [[London]]. They worked with resistance fighters to reach the centre of the [[mining]] operations in [[Bedfordshire]], where the Daleks' aim was to remove the Earth's core and replace it with a power system to pilot the [[planet]] anywhere in the [[universe]]. This plan was thwarted when the Bedfordshire mine was destroyed by the Doctor and his [[companion]]s, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Dalek Invasion of Earth (TV story)|The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]'') fulfilling [[Kaslan]]'s [[prophecy]] exactly one hundred years prior.
