Not only did the Daleks used rels for time measurement, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Genocide Machine]],'' ''[[The Mutant Phase]]'', [[TV]]: ''[[Doomsday]]'') but the [[Kaled]]s had before them as well. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Guilt (audio story)|Guilt]]'') A rel was about 1.2 seconds, slightly longer than a [[second]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Evolution of the Daleks]]'')

In other contexts, it was a unit of speed. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Plague of Death]]'', ''[[The Emissaries of Jevo (comic story)|The Emissaries of Jevo]]'') A rel was also used as a unit of [[Hydroelectricity|hydroelectric]] energy, not to be confused for a [[vep]], the unit used for artificial [[sun]]light. (''[[The Dalek Book]]'') When the [[New Dalek Empire]] tried to destroy the [[universe]] with the [[reality bomb]] using the [[Medusa Cascade]], they counted down from ten rels until their attempt to use it. ([[TV]]: ''[[Journey's End]]'')

Before appearing in the early ''Doctor Who'' comics, the word ''rel'' first appeared in the film, ''[[Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.]]'' starring [[Peter Cushing]] as [[Dr. Who (Dr. Who and the Daleks)|Dr. Who]]. However, this wiki [[Tardis:Valid sources|does not consider the Peter Cushing movies as part of the DWU]].
