Dalek Fleet
The Dalek Fleet, also known as the Dalek Imperial Fleet when controlled by the Emperor, was the massive fleet of flying saucers and battlecruisers used by the Daleks used at various points in the species' existence.
Pre-Time War fleets
Several Dalek Fleets participated in a series of major wars which occurred "before" the Time War.
The Great War and the Dalek Civil War
Thousand Dalek Saucers were part of the invasion fleet the Daleks planned to use to wipe out the Solar System. They were destroyed by the Time Destructor. (TV: The Daleks' Master Plan, PROSE: The Mutation of Time)
During the course of the Daleks' Great War, Thal forces destroyed 200 Dalek saucers in Sector Seven, and the Draconians destroyed half of the Dalek fleet along the Draconian frontier. (PROSE: The Evil of the Daleks)
Second Dalek War
The Dalek fleet during the Second Dalek War consisted of the ultimate flagship, an Exterminator-class vessel by the name of the Exterminator under the command of the Dalek Inquisitor General. The Tenth Doctor was accidentally taken back to the war by the TARDIS and helped to destroy the Exterminator and its provisions. The loss of such a powerful ship put a massive dent in the Dalek war machine and their fleet was pushed right back by the Earth Empire. (PROSE: Prisoner of the Daleks)
Dalek-Movellan War
During the Dalek-Movellan War, hundreds of Battlecruisers flew with Movellan Battlecruisers without a single shot being fired because of both sides having reached a logical impasse. (TV: Destiny of the Daleks)
Time Vortex
The Daleks launched over a thousand Dalek Saucers into the Time Vortex; these forces were stopped by the Eighth Doctor, who left them trapped in the vortex. (AUDIO: The Time of the Daleks) The Time Lords later made a deal with the Daleks that allowed them to leave the Time Vortex. (AUDIO: Neverland)
Unknown occasions
Half of the Dalek Eighth Fleet consisted of three killctuisers and twenty destroyers and were destroyed when the planet Terakis was destroyed by a Thal bomb as a trap. (PROSE: War of the Daleks)
The Dalek Seventh Fleet was fueled by the energised core of Galacton. (PROSE: Mission to Galacton)
The Last Great Time War
An extremely powerful Dalek Fleet, likely the largest in their history up to that point, participated in the Last Great Time War which was waged against the Time Lords. This fleet consisted of virtually the entire Dalek Empire. The final battle of the Time War was an all-out assault on Gallifrey, personally led by the Dalek Emperor himself aboard the Dalek Flagship. (TV: The Parting of the Ways) This invasion fleet consisted of 10 million ships. (TV: Dalek) Many Dalek saucers had already crashed outside Capitol during the final day of the Time War. (TV: The End of Time) A Dalek Fleet was located at the Tantalus Spiral and the Tantalus Eye. (PROSE: Engines of War) In the last moments, the Dalek fleet surrounded Gallifrey and were firing at it constantly. When thirteen different incarnations of the The Doctor saved Gallifrey by placing it in a pocket universe, the planet's sudden disappearance resulted in the Dalek Fleet destroying itself in its own massive crossfire (TV: The Day of the Doctor)
Post-Time War fleets
The Emperor's hybrid fleet
The Emperor barely survived the Time War aboard his heavily-damaged Flagship and was flung into the far future. In hiding for several hundred years, he slowly repaired the Flagship and created a new Dalek Fleet of 200 smaller saucers. By 200,100, he had almost half a million Daleks, including roughly 2000 Daleks aboard each of the smaller vessels. This fleet consisted of Daleks which were engineered using dead human cells. As such, they developed a twisted concept of religion, and the Ninth Doctor deemed them insane since they were hybrids who hated their own flesh. This fleet participated in the Battle of the Game Station and bombarded Earth, deforming whole continents. However, the Emperor, his entire fleet, and all the hybrid Daleks were divided into atoms by the Bad Wolf entity within Rose Tyler. (TV: Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways)

The New Dalek Empire fleet
The final survivor of the original Dalek Empire, Dalek Caan, traveled back in time and rescued Davros from the Time War. Davros then used cells from his own body to create the New Dalek Empire. This new force consisted of a massive fleet centered around a planet-sized space station called the Crucible, all of which were hiding within the Medusa Cascade. A group of 200 flying saucers was dispatched from the Cascade and undertook the 21st century Dalek invasion of Earth in 2009. They succeeded, and moved Earth into the Cascade so that their Reality Bomb could kill all life except for the Daleks. However, the New Empire was betrayed by Dalek Caan, and the Reality Bomb was disabled by DoctorDonna. Then, the Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor used the hardware of the Crucible to overload the dalekanium power feeds. This caused the Crucible, the whole fleet, and the individual Daleks themselves to explode, with Davros a fatality as well. (TV: The Stolen Earth/Journey's End) Only a single saucer with three individuals would survive.

The New Dalek Paradigm fleets
Only one saucer from the New Empire survived, and it fell through time to the Second World War. The three Daleks on board found the last Progenitor device, which created the first five individuals of the New Dalek Paradigm. The new Daleks exterminated their three forebears, escaped in the saucer, and rebuilt a brand new empire (TV: Victory of the Daleks)
A fleet of Dalek saucers were used during an attack on Earth's top secret Station 7 when searching for an experimentation on Dalek nature to make them less aggressive. The fleet was destroyed on the planet below the station by a deliberate eruption planned by the Eleventh Doctor and allies. (COMIC: The Only Good Dalek)
At Stonehenge, while scanning for ships, the Eleventh Doctor found Dalek ships in orbit and, thinking it was only the Daleks, stated that a Dalek fleet would have a minimum of 12,000 ships armed to the teeth. This fleet was actually a part of a larger force known as The Alliance. (TV: The Pandorica Opens)
A fleet of Dalek saucers waited above Earth in 2106 when the New Dalek Paradigm invaded London using a piece of the Eternity Clock. The fleet was lead by a Dalek Flagship owned by the Dalek Emperor. (GAME: The Eternity Clock)
The New Dalek Paradigm fleet grew so large that it established a vessel carrying the Parliament of the Daleks. The Prime Minister of the Daleks ordered the abduction of the Eleventh Doctor and his companions Amy Pond and Rory Williams, summoning them to the Parliament and forcing them on a mission to lower the indestructible force field of the Dalek Asylum. Once this had been achieved by Oswin Oswald (a human-turned-Dalek), the Dalek fleet bombarded and successfully destroyed the entire planet. But just beforehand, Oswin erased all information about the Doctor from the pathweb (memory) of the New Dalek Paradigm. The members of the Parliament were therefore unable to recognise him when the Doctor teleported onto the Parliament's ship, and they repeatedly asked the First Question: "Doctor Who?". (TV :Asylum of the Daleks)
A New Paradigm Dalek fleet besieged Trenzalore during the centuries-long Siege of Trenzalore along with many different races. Eventually only the Daleks were left, but all but one ship of their fleet had apparently either retreated or been destroyed. This last saucer was destroyed by the Doctor with his regeneration energy along with all the Daleks on the planet. (TV: The Time of the Doctor)
