== History ==
=== The Invasion ===
The [[Dalek]]s invaded Mars while on their way to Earth. Colonists fought back and, with the help of the [[Ice Warrior]]s, created a virus which ate away at Dalek cable insulation. The Dalek forces were driven away from the colony and decided just to focus on the Earth. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Dalek Invasion of Mars (short story)|The Dalek Invasion of Mars]]'')


While being interrogated by [[Davros]] in an [[agony seat]], the [[Fourth Doctor]] recounted that on Mars, the Daleks were defeated by a virus that attacked the insulation on the cables in their electrical systems. ([[TV]]: ''[[Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)|Genesis of the Daleks]]'')

While being interrogated by [[Davros]] in an [[agony seat]] during the [[Genesis Incident]], the [[Fourth Doctor]] recounted that on Mars, the Daleks were defeated by a virus that attacked the insulation on the cables in their electrical systems. ([[TV]]: ''[[Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)|Genesis of the Daleks]]'') According to [[Book (The Whoniverse)|one historical account]], this invasion was part of the [[Great War (The Evil of the Daleks)|conflict]] following the [[Time Destructor Incident]] of [[4000]], contemporary to the [[Dalek invasion of Venus]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Whoniverse (novel)|The Whoniverse]]'')
 
=== Aftermath and legacy ===
Mars was again attacked by the Daleks during their [[Second Dalek War|war]] with humanity in [[2545]], before they were driven off-world in the [[Battle for Mars]]. The 50th anniversary of the battle was recognised in [[2595]], also the 500th anniversary of Earth's [[colonisation of Mars]]. [[Bernice Summerfield]] observed that the battle was only the third [[war]] on Mars in a period of about 500 years, following the 2157 Dalek invasion and the [[Thousand Year War]] from [[2086]] to [[2088]], which she deemed a "pretty good tally" compared to Earth [[history]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Beige Planet Mars (novel)|Beige Planet Mars]]'')
 
=== Alternate realities ===
[[File:DVTM Robot Attacks the Saucer.jpg|thumb|The Daleks are attacked by the Martian Sphinx. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Daleks Versus the Martians (comic story)|Daleks Versus the Martians]]'')]]
In a [[Dr. Who's reality (Dr. Who and the Daleks)|version of history "B"]] to the [[First Doctor]]'s [[The Doctor's reality (An Unearthly Child)|version of history "A"]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dalek Survival Guide (novel)|Dalek Survival Guide]]'') the Daleks established a presence on Mars which was discovered by [[Dr. Who]], who was investigating the [[Martian Sphinx (Daleks Versus the Martians)|Martian Sphinx]], traveling to the planet with his granddaughter [[Susan (Dr. Who and the Daleks)|Susan]] and his niece [[Louise (Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.)|Louise]]. While Dr. Who was preparing to study the apparent formation, the group were surrounded by Daleks floating on [[hoverbout]]s. The Daleks kidnapped Louise and attempted to do the same to Dr. Who and Susan, but they were saved at the last moment by a group of telepathic [[Martian (Daleks Versus the Martians)|natives]], who lead them to an underground base.
 
Dr. Who and Susan noticed a series of hieroglyphics on the wall of the base, but were unsure of what they meant. Upon asking one of the Martians about why the Daleks had invaded, it was explained to them that they planned to use Mars as a base to concur [[Earth]]. Shortly after this, Dr. Who announced that he had solved the mystery of the Sphinx, revealing that the hieroglyphics on the wall were actually a long-lost activation sequence for a massive Martian robot. Using this knowledge, the group were able to raise the robot out of the air to attack the Dalek forces as Dr. Who attempted to save Louise by breaking into a [[Dalek flying saucer]]. However, he discovered that this was a trap, as the Daleks wanted to take him to [[Skaro]] to drain the secrets of [[time travel]] from his mind. As the ship took off, it was attacked by the robot, although Louise and the Doctor were able to escape on one of the Dalek hoverboats.
 
The Daleks foothold on Mars lost, Dr. Who and his companions departed in ''[[TARDIS (Dr. Who and the Daleks)|TARDIS]]'', although Who wondered if the preceding event was the eve of a war. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Daleks Versus the Martians (comic story)|Daleks Versus the Martians]]'') Indeed, the Daleks would [[2150 Dalek invasion of Earth|invade]] [[Earth]] in the [[year]] [[2150]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. (theatrical film)|Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.]]'')
