[[Historian]]s who studied the Dalek race believed, but could not confirm, that the New Paradigm had deployed the totality of its army during the [[Siege of Trenzalore]] to prevent the return of the Time Lords and as a consequence, its destruction at the hands of [[Eleventh Doctor]] had been the final defeat of the Daleks.
