The gunmetal and black design continued to be the standard for the Dalek Empire for many years. However, during his time at [[Tranquil Repose]] Davros genetically engineered an entirely new breed of Daleks from the [[Resting One]]s - these mutants were completely loyal to Davros, and had distinctive white casings with gold sensor globes, neck grating and limbs. Following the eruption of the [[Imperial-Renegade Dalek Civil War|war]] between these and the original Dalek Empire, these came to be known as the "[[Imperial Dalek|Imperial]]" faction, now featuring all-gold appendages and white bases and - for the first time - the ability to hover under their own power. Meanwhile, the original Skarosian faction of Daleks came to be known as the [[Renegade Dalek]]s, and phased out the traditional gunmetal casings in favour of a battleship grey and black colour scheme.

The drone casings of the [[New Dalek Empire]] were identical to the bronze casings of the Time War [[Dalek Empire]]. One minor variation, the [[Vault Dalek]]s (found aboard their space station the ''[[Crucible]]'') possessed a specialised [[manipulator arm]] with eight "digits" but were otherwise identical. The mutants inside all the New Empire casings were grown from the cells of [[Davros]]' own body. | The drone casings of the [[New Dalek Empire]] were identical to the bronze casings of the Time War [[Dalek Empire]].
