Circa the 26th century, Dalek Killers (otherwise know as DK's) were criminal citizen of the Earth Empire were given a slim chance of having their death sentences of vapourisation commuted if they fought the Daleks, with miniscule odds of survival. (600 million to one, according to one estimate.) Only a quarter of the criminals would survive the experimental telportation technique from the "Dee-Kay room". Of these, the survivors had an average life expectancy of just under two and a half hours.

Earth Empire judicial authorities would offer, as an alternative to execution, the chance to choose from a selection of weapons prior to teleportation to a Dalek Empire planet. (DWM: Abslom Daak... Dalek Killer) Those few who survived, however, could make money by selling bounty in the form of salvaged parts of Daleks such as gunsticks and eyesticks. (NA: Love and War)

The most notorious Dalek Killer was Abslom Daak. DWM: Abslom Daak... Dalek Killer) Others included Máire, a contemporary of Daak's, who chose DK duty after her trial for political terrorism. After her return to Human space, Máire served as high priestess to a group of Travellers on the planet Heaven. (NA: Love and War)
