|- | |||
| The Daleks invaded Earth in the 22nd century (''[[The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]''). | |||
| During the invasion defeated in ''The Dalek Invasion of Earth'' (set in the 22nd century), the Daleks discovered records showing that Davros had destroyed Skaro in 1963 (''Remembrance of the Daleks''). | |||
|- | |||
| The Daleks used time travel to conquer Earth and it is implied that this was to prevent the failure of the 22nd-century invasion (''[[Day of the Daleks]]''). | |||
| The Daleks then used their nascent time travel abilities to try to prevent the failure of the invasion. This attempt created a parallel timeline (''Day of the Daleks''). When this failed, the Daleks realised that they could not save Skaro by changing history. | |||
|- | |||
| The Daleks entered into a war with the robotic [[Movellan]]s. Both sides were entirely logical and reached an impasse. The Daleks returned to Skaro to revive Davros, so he could help them break their stalemate. The Daleks and Movellans on Skaro were defeated and Davros was captured and taken for trial (''Destiny of the Daleks''). | |||
| The Dalek Prime came up with a new plan. The planet Antalin was terraformed to resemble Skaro. Davros was excavated from the Kaled bunker and moved to Antalin. The Daleks also created the [[Movellan]]s and faked a war with them to give them a plausible reason for reviving Davros. When Davros was revived, he believed himself to be on Skaro, and was told by the Daleks that they needed him to solve the logical impasse in their war with the Movellans. The Daleks ensured that Davros would be captured and taken for trial (''Destiny of the Daleks''). | |||
|- | |||
| Davros was sprung from his imprisonment by the Daleks, who wanted him to find a cure for the Movellan virus. At this time, the Daleks also wanted to invade Gallifrey by using robotic duplicates, as well as 1980s Earth in the same way. To this end, their ship contained a time corridor (''[[Resurrection of the Daleks]]''). | |||
| It was then arranged that Davros was sprung from his imprisonment and given access to the time travel technology he needed to return to 1963, acquire the Hand of Omega, and destroy Antalin (''Resurrection of the Daleks''). | |||
|- | |||
| Davros began to create a new race of Daleks (''[[Revelation of the Daleks]]''). | |||
| At this point, the plan seemed to go a bit wrong, as Davros instead began to create a new race of Daleks (''Revelation of the Daleks''). | |||
|- | |||
| Davros conquered Skaro with his Imperial Dalek faction. The Imperials and the Renegades and travelled back in time to 1963 in order to acquire the [[Hand of Omega]] (''Remembrance of the Daleks''). | |||
| When Davros was finally able to travel back to 1963 with his Imperial faction, the Renegade faction - ultimately loyal to the Dalek Prime - ensured that he acquired the Hand of Omega and destroyed what appeared to be Skaro to fulfil the historical record (''Remembrance of the Daleks''). | |||
