The '''Mark I''' was the name given by [[Davros]] to a '''Travel Machine''' [[prototype]], the [[casing]] of [[Baran|the first]] [[Dalek]] that he created. It was an experimental life support unit modeled after his own chair. Besides the transplanted Thal brain, it included a life support matrix, an optical stalk, feeding tubes and was activated by a power conduit with only 92% distribution.

Davros's claims to have designed the Daleks' travel machines were later contradicted by the Daleks themselves under the command of the [[Dalek Prime]], who instead claimed that he had stolen the designs from other scientists and then passed them off as his own. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[War of the Daleks (novel)|War of the Daleks]]'') Indeed, in one account, the very first Dalek casings were originally the "[[Dalek War Machine]]s" designed by the scientist [[Yarvelling]] for use in the war against the [[Thal]]s before the mutated Daleks claimed them as protection against the harsh conditions of the devastated, irradiated Skaro.
