The '''2060s Dalek invasion of Earth''' was a conflict between the [[World Government]] of [[human]]ity and the [[Dalek Empire]]. Although [[Dalek]] and [[human]] forces directly clashed on several recorded occasions, the war was largely characterised by a lack of fighting. Within the [[solar system]], tensions gradually rose in official circles as [[news]] of the Daleks' technologicial advancements reached them. On [[Skaro]], the Daleks were guided by a directive to [[Invasion|invade]] and conquer the entire [[universe]] which, as they encountered more [[humanoid]] species, evolved into a specific desire to stamp out the quality which the [[Dalek Prime]] labelled "human spirit". | The '''2060s Dalek invasion of Earth''' was a conflict between the [[World Government]] of [[human]]ity and the [[Dalek Empire]].

A blindspot for some time, the Daleks eventually discovered the location of Earth after a [[passenger]] [[spacecraft]] from the [[planet]] landed on Skaro. The [[Dalek Emperor|Emperor]] immediately launched [[Dalek Fleet|his fleet]] in preparation for the invasion. However, the culmination of multiple [[year]]s of hostility was foiled in most part by the outside involvement of the [[Elder (Return of the Elders)|Elders]], [[Telepathy|telepaths]] of great power who had seeded Earth in the [[distant past]]. Just [[Dalek flying saucer|one ship]] survived the onslaught, which carried the Emperor and his closest advisors, [[Black Dalek Leader|the Black Dalek]] and [[Red Dalek (Return of the Elders)|the Red Dalek]], who vowed as they fled to return for [[22nd century Dalek invasion|another oppurtunity]] to invade. [[Kaslan]], [[leader]] of the Elders, acknowledged this inevitability, telling [[Trent (Return of the Elders)|Commander Trent]] and his men that the Daleks would be resisted by "[[First Doctor|another]]" at some point in the [[future]]. | A blindspot for some time, the Daleks eventually discovered the location of [[Earth]] after a [[passenger]] [[spacecraft]] from the [[planet]] landed on Skaro.

As the Daleks continued to conquer, more people on [[Earth]] became aware of their presence with several agents of the [[Universal Secret Service]] mentioning them in their communications to [[Brent Cleever|Twenty One]]. [[Derek Connell]] knew reports on Dalek activity were obtained via [[hyper-space video-phone]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[From D. Connell of Essex (short story)|From D. Connell of Essex]]'') and [[R. Miles]] noted these among a list of [[news]] stories they kept up with. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[From R. Miles (short story)|From R. Miles]]'') [[J. Gray]] complimented ''[[TV 21]]'' on their coverage of the Daleks, agreeing that a [[headline]] feature to affirm their threat to [[human]]ity was a good idea. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[J. Gray (short story)|J.

([[PROSE]]: ''[[Peaceful Thals Ambushed!

Although all three were [[acting]], the reality of the Dalek threat was not underplayed. Penelope speculated that Roberta had experienced [[sleep]]less [[night]]s during filming and Roy openly admitted he was more scared than when he was in his [[horror]] film. Likewise, [[Parker (Mr. Steelman)|Parker]], Lady Penelope's [[driver]], was visibly terrified when she told him they were going to have [[lunch]] "with the Daleks" and it was not until she elaborated that he calmed down.

After the destruction of Alvega, the Daleks set their sights on [[Solturis]], a [[planet]] rich with [[mineral]]s. Solturis subsequently reported sightings of a [[Dalek invasion fleet]]; the [[World Government]] was said to be watching developments carefully. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Amaryll Challenge (comic story)|The Amaryll Challenge]]'') Indeed, they were kept abreast of events through accounts from both the [[Solturian News Agency]] and [[Space News Agency]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Penta Ray Factor (comic story)|The Penta Ray Factor]]'') One such article, released on [[31 July]], noted that [[Jareth|Prince Jareth]] had been called in by [[Mirva]] to investigate another [[prophecy]] of [[Lurr]] which was possibly related to his continuing opposition to the Daleks. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Peaceful Thals Ambushed! (short story)|Peaceful Thals Ambushed!]]'') The [[Solturian]]s were ultimately victorious in defeating the Daleks and the [[traitor]] [[Geltis]] in their plan to destroy the [[capital city]] of [[Bulos]] with the [[Pentaray]]. The Dalek Emperor had left Solturis prematurely but was unable to renew hostilities when the forces left behind were crushed because the [[fleet]] was recalled to deal with a crisis on [[Skaro]].
