Dalek duplicate
Dalek duplicates, also known as Dalek replicants, were genetically engineered soldiers created by the Daleks. They were conceived as copies of individuals killed by the Daleks, to be used in undercover work. Despite this, the duplicates retained some memories, leading them to fight their programming. (AUDIO: Enemy of the Daleks) According to some accounts, they were androids. (COMIC: The Dalek Project, AUDIO: The Fearless: Part 4)
Biology
Duplicates were incredibly strong and were able to perfectly mimic voices. Among some issues with replicants were their cold skin (AUDIO: The Genocide Machine) and eye colour, which the Daleks could never get right. (AUDIO: Daleks Among Us) Duplicates emitted a magnetic field. (COMIC: The Dalek Project)

On Bliss, the replicants gained a reputation. (AUDIO: Enemy of the Daleks) In direct retaliation for the Time Lords' interference in the genesis of the Daleks, (PROSE: Dalek Combat Training Manual) the Supreme Dalek planned to use a duplicate of the Fifth Doctor to assassinate the High Council of Gallifrey, but he escaped before the duplicate was completed. Davros converted some of the duplicates to his own cause and they were all killed off in the crossfire between his Daleks and those loyal to the Supreme. The Supreme Dalek vowed to create more duplicates and invade Earth, though the Doctor insisted that there were unstable. (TV: Resurrection of the Daleks) The Time Lords later believed that these duplicates had indeed broken down, but did consider the possibility that events in Earth's history had been manipulated to serve the Daleks' ends.

According to an unsubstantiated report from the Space Security Service archive on Micawber's World, the Daleks, after being defeated in the Dalek-Movellan War, used their duplication program to infiltrate the Movellan forces and sabotaged the power pack production facilities; infecting all new power packs with a virus that connected them to the Dalek pathweb. After a suitable time had passed the Daleks sent a signal through the pathweb which caused the Movellans to turn on each other. The Movellans never recovered from their civil war and were later wiped out by Davros' Imperial Daleks in a conflict which Daleks called the Pa Jass-Gutrik, the War of Vengeance.
