Dalek-Movellan War[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Daleks were embroiled in a centuries long war with the Movellans that was fought across time. (AUDIO: The Dalek Gambit, et. al) According to the Time Lords, their attempted retrieval of Davros from the ruins of Skaro to break the logical stalemate the war had become took place in the 46th century. (PROSE: Dalek Combat Training Manual)
The retrieval of Davros was complicated by a rival Movellan expedition and the interference of the Fourth Doctor and Romana, who led the Daleks' human slaves to rebel, seizing the Movellan ship and Davros, who they placed in suspended animation. (TV: Destiny of the Daleks) Davros was handed over to the custody of the Earth Protection Corps, a successor to the Space Security Service. Davros nearly escaped when the ship transporting him crash landed on Kembel, having fallen foul of battling Dalek and Movellan forces after slowing to rescue the Tenth Doctor and Anya Kingdom, (AUDIO: The Dalek Defence) however Earth Protection forces subsequently recaptured him. (AUDIO: The Triumph of Davros) Davros was sentenced by humanity to remain in suspended animation. In the meantime the Daleks lost their war with the Movellans due to them developing a virus that was fatal to Dalek mutants. (TV: Resurrection of the Daleks)
A grey Dalek which was taken by a Time Scoop to the Death Zone on Gallifrey as Borusa played the Game of Rassilon; it was destroyed in its attempt to exterminate the First Doctor and Susan Foreman. (TV: The Five Doctors) The Time Lords' time scale of Dalek activity indicated that this Dalek was taken from the 46th century front of the Dalek-Movellan War. (PROSE: Dalek Combat Training Manual) It later transpired that this was not the only Dalek to be transported to the Death Zone, as several others were later encountered by the Fifth Doctor in another part of the zone. (AUDIO: The Five Companions) Scrutinising Dalek history during the Last Great Time War, the Time Lords believed that the Daleks had at some point became aware of their losses to the Time Scoop, which they regarded as an act of aggression which helped to trigger the Time War. (PROSE: Dalek Combat Training Manual)
In 4590, (PROSE: Resurrection of the Daleks) 90 years after the expedition to Skaro, the Supreme Dalek led an effort to rescue Davros in the hopes he might provide a cure for the Movellan virus. Davros instead deemed his creations failures and turned against them, wanting to start again. (TV: Resurrection of the Daleks) This schism would lead to Davros founding his own faction of Daleks in the next century, (TV: Revelation of the Daleks, PROSE: Dalek Combat Training Manual) culminating in the Imperial-Renegade Dalek Civil War. (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks)
