The [[Thirteenth Doctor]] used the term '''"basic Dalek"''' in reference to the "normal Dalek soldier".

Additionally, in the absence of orders from higher ranking Daleks, drones were to revert to the Dalek directive: to [[Extermination|exterminate]] all non-Dalek life forms. Thus, a single drone could still wage a war of [[genocide]].

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.

By another account, the Imperial Daleks were the victors of the civil war.

Silver drones were also among the [[Time-Sensitive Dalek]] in the [[Dalek Time Squad]] that the Emperor sent back to the [[Dark Times]]. Being standard drones, they were not supposed to be independent thinkers, but [[River Song]] suspected they could be anyway.([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Guide to the Dark Times (short story)|The Guide to the Dark Times]]'') [[Dalek (The Last Message)|A drone]] survived the events in the Dark Times and sent a warning out to the universe. It was this message that had been picked up by the Emperor. The Daleks' involvement in the [[Kotturuh crisis]] had thus been a [[bootstrap paradox]], as the drone's message was what had convinced him to send the Time Squad back at all.

When the Dalek race was successfully restored using the [[Progenitor]] device, the first five individuals of the [[New Dalek Paradigm]] emerged.
