The Dalek Task Force (feature)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
The Dalek Task Force was one of the features original to The Dalek World, a Dalek annual of 1965, which were not so much a story as an informative feature on Dalek society. Although non-narrative (and, as such, not currently considered a valid source by this Wiki), it featured a wealth of information about the Dalek spacecrafts forming the titular Dalek Task Force, expanding the catalogue of Dalek ships far beyond the familiar Dalek flying saucer.

- The Dalek Task Force, the deadliest attack unit in the known universe, includes the Dalek Cleaver, the Task Leader's Solus Combat, the Megallanic Cloud Cruiser, the dual Solar Power Stations, a Dalek Sauce Transporter, three ordinary transolar disks, and the Skaro Screamer.
- The Dalek Cleaver is a ship capable of hurling itself at anything, including a mountain, and bore its way through with nary any speed loss. It is nicknamed the "cosmic can opener" by Earth space pilots.
- The Dalek Task Leader is outfitted with the Task Leader's Solus Combat, a hoverbout-esque solo craft with fifty times the firepower of ordinary Dalek weapons.
- The Megallanic Cloud Cruiser is an advance scout for hidden enemies, designed to explore cosmic cloud zones.
- The dual ball-shaped Solar Power Stations can be directed at any sun to collect enough power from it to power the entire Dalek attack forces.
- The Skaro Screamer is a jet-powered all-purposes fighter craft, most feared for its ability to turn the atmosphere of any planet into liquid air which it then uses as fuel.
