([[TV]]: ''[[Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)|Genesis of the Daleks]]'') After the early [[Dalek]]s had ended the fighting by detonating a [[neutron bomb]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe (short story)|Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe]]'') Skaro's atmosphere became so irradiated that nothing could survive the outside world without survival equipment. After five centuries, the radiation levels began to drop but the Daleks, discovering that they had adapted to survive on radiation, sought to flood their nuclear waste into the atmosphere but were defeated by the [[Thal]]s in the [[Thal-Dalek battle]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Daleks (TV story)|The Daleks]]'') Held in suspended animation in the city's secret [[incubation level]], the [[Dalek Supreme (Return to Skaro)|Dalek Supreme]], after having overcome the dependancy on radiation, provided the Thal [[Tryana]] with the blueprints for a network of ionising towers that reduced the radiation present in Skaro's atmosphere.
