'''Hover position''' was the [[Dalek]] act of ascension. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Penta Ray Factor (comic story)|The Penta Ray Factor]]'') Achieved by the [[elevation unit]] and [[antigravity mechanism]] beneath the [[base unit]] of the Dalek [[motor casing]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Prisoner of the Daleks (novel)|Prisoner of the Daleks]]'') it allowed individual Daleks to take [[flight]] without the use of a [[hoverbout]]. Much like how the Daleks fired their [[gunstick]]s after exclaiming "[[Extermination|exterminate]]!", a Dalek would generally exclaim "elevate!" before taking flight.

Numerous Daleks took flight during the [[21st century Dalek invasion|invasion]] of Earth in [[2009]], most notably during the attack on the [[aircraft carrier]] ''[[Valiant (aircraft carrier)|Valiant]]''.
