The Invasion[[edit] | [edit source]]
After their destruction of Alvega, the Daleks set their sights on the mineral-rich planet Solturis, which subsequently reported sightings of a Dalek invasion fleet; the World Government was said to be watching developments carefully. (COMIC: The Amaryll Challenge) Indeed, they were kept abreast of events through accounts from both the Solturian News Agency and Space News Agency. (COMIC: The Penta Ray Factor) One such article, released on 31 July, noted that Prince Jareth had been called in by Mirva to investigate another prophecy of Lurr which was possibly related to his continuing opposition to the Daleks. (PROSE: Peaceful Thals Ambushed!) The Solturians ultimately succeeded in defeating the Daleks' and the traitor Geltis' plan to destroy the capital city Bulos with the Pentaray. The Dalek Emperor had already left Solturis when its forces on the planet were crushed, but its fleet was recalled to deal with a crisis on Skaro before it could renew hostilities.

Aftermath and legacy[[edit] | [edit source]]
MI5 had at least one copy of a Solturian News Agency report which depicted the fatal shots Jareth fired at the Dalek forces. It was stored on Captain Blacker's boat and destroyed along with with the ship when Carl blew it up after killing Blacker and stealing the blueprints to a nuclear weapon which could have threatened the safety of the world. Jimmy Bondson successfully retrieved the plans with help from International Rescue. (TV: The Man from MI.5)
The psychoplasmic Golden City Zone within the Dalek Dome of 2323 had a display of the Solturian Pentaray in the Corridor of Conquests, indicating that it later somehow came under Dalek control. The Golden Emperor passed through this room while wondering if his reality could be a fabrication. (COMIC: Liberation of the Daleks)
