The Daleks were later perfected by Davros in the [[Dalek drone|Mark III Travel Machine]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)|Genesis of the Daleks]]'')
The Daleks were later perfected by Davros in the [[Dalek drone|Mark III Travel Machine]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)|Genesis of the Daleks]]'')
Other accounts stated that large groups of Daleks matching the descriptions of the Mark I Travel Machine were created after a devastating [[neutronic war]] forced the Daleks' "[[Humanoid Dalek|forefathers]]" into [[casing]]s after horribly [[mutating]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Daleks (TV story)|The Daleks]]'', [[COMIC]]: ''[[Genesis of Evil (comic story)|Genesis of Evil]]'') A [[Black Dalek]] later told Davros that it had been created by the neutron war with Davros merely accelerating the Daleks' evolution, giving both accounts the scope to be accurate. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[War of the Daleks (novel)|War of the Daleks]]'')
Mark I Travel Machines were physically distinguishable from later Dalek models by their lack of [[slat]]s.

The first Mark I Travel Machine created by [[Davros]] hosted the [[brain]] of [[Baran]], a captured [[Thal]] [[spy]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Guilt (audio story)|Guilt]]'')
A group of Mark I Daleks were stranded in their [[Dalek City|city]] on [[Skaro]], as their casings were powered by [[static electricity]] channeled by the metal floors of the City, preventing them from leaving it. While they were in the city, the Daleks monitored the radiation count as it continued to drop. They had ambitions to leave the city and rebuild their planet. They eventually found that the [[Thal]]s had also survived what was known as the [[neutronic war]]. After discovering that they had become dependent on the background radiation to the point of the anti-radiation meds [[Susan Foreman]] gave them being lethal to them, the Daleks attempted to vent radiation from their nuclear reactors into the atmosphere which would have left them as the only living species on [[Skaro]]. The [[First Doctor]] and his [[companion]]s led a [[Thal]] assault and deactivated their power, believing that he had wiped out the Daleks altogether in the process (the necessity of which crime he lamented, though he saw no other way). ([[TV]]: ''[[The Daleks (TV story)|The Daleks]]'')
Mark I Travel Machines were among the Daleks who operated on the rebuilt Skaro where the dying Davros lived as he called the [[Twelfth Doctor]] to him. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)|The Magician's Apprentice]]'') These Daleks were destroyed by the rejuvenated Daleks from the [[sewer]]s. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Witch's Familiar (TV story)|The Witch’s Familiar]]'')

* "Mk I Dalek" is the fan name given to the first model of Dalek [[casing]]s ([[TV]]: ''[[The Daleks (TV story)|The Daleks]]'', [[COMIC]]: ''[[Genesis of Evil (comic story)|Genesis of Evil]]'') which reappered on the reconstructed Skaro near a dying Davros ([[TV]]: ''[[The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)|The Magician's Apprentice]]'') and are distinguishable by their lack of slats. The "Mk II" designates the one with a dish from ''[[The Dalek Invasion of Earth (TV story)|The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]'' and "Mk III" --matching the designation from ''[[Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)|Genesis of the Daleks]]''-- is for the one with slats first seen in ''[[The Chase (TV story)|The Chase]]'' .<ref>[http://www.projectdalek.co.uk/mainsite/index.php/dalek-plans Naming convention] by Project Dalek</ref>
* "Mk I Dalek" is the fan name given to the first model of Dalek [[casing]]s ([[TV]]: ''[[The Daleks (TV story)|The Daleks]]'', [[COMIC]]: ''[[Genesis of Evil (comic story)|Genesis of Evil]]'') some of whom were also seen on the restored [[Skaro]] attending to the dying Davros in [[TV]]: ''[[The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)|The Magician's Apprentice]]''. They are distinguishable by their lack of slats. In this terminology, the "Mk II" isthe one with a dish from ''[[The Dalek Invasion of Earth (TV story)|The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]'' with the "Mk III" — tying back to the designation of the standard Dalek casing from ''[[Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)|Genesis of the Daleks]]'' — being for the one with slats first seen in ''[[The Chase (TV story)|The Chase]]'' .<ref>[http://www.projectdalek.co.uk/mainsite/index.php/dalek-plans Naming convention] by Project Dalek</ref> Within in-universe sources, however, there is little in-universe room for Davros's Mark I Travel Machine to correspond to the Daleks in ''[[The Daleks (TV story)|The Daleks]]'', as the clear intent behind ''[[Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)|Genesis of the Daleks]]'' was that it took place prior to ''The Daleks''. The term of [[Dalek War Machine]] is instead given by ''[[Genesis of Evil (comic story)|Genesis of Evil]]'' as the original name of the casings seen in the first few Dalek television stories.
