Strategist Dalek (New Dalek Paradigm)

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

The Strategist Dalek was one of the new varieties of Dalek which emerged from the Progenitor in 1941. As its name suggests, this rank controlled tactical planning and manoeuvering, coordinating the Drones during battle. (DWAN: Doctor Who The Official Annual 2011)

History

The original Strategist, along with the other original four, the Supreme, Eternal, Drone and Scientist, was created by the Progenitor when the old Daleks tricked the Eleventh Doctor. The first Strategist Dalek destroyed an "Ironside" Dalek and the leader gold Dalek. It worked most of the machinery inside the Dalek ship and escaped through the Time corridor with the others when their plans to destroy Earth failed. (TV: Victory of the Daleks)

The Eleventh Doctor faces the new legion of Daleks. (TV: Victory of the Daleks)

Later, a number of Strategists would be seen in the Supreme Council Chamber on a restored Kaalann, alongside the new Dalek Emperor, who was also coloured blue. (GAME: City of the Daleks)

They may have acted as the Emperor's Personal Guard or members of the Dalek Council.

A Strategist Dalek was in command of the platoon that attacked Station 7, with several other Strategists, Scientists and Drones under its leadership. (COMIC: The Only Good Dalek)

When the Doctor, Amy Pond and Rory Williams were transported to the spaceship of the Dalek Parliament, at least one Strategist could be seen amongst the Parliament members. (TV: Asylum of the Daleks)
