Spiridon campaign: Difference between revisions

* ''[[The Discontinuity Guide]]'' claimed that the Daleks' Draconian Gambit and the Spiridon campaign took place after the [[Exxilon Gambit]], which itself followed their unrecorded first encounter with the [[Third Doctor]], which fell somewhere between the [[23rd century|23rd]] and [[25th century|25th centuries]].<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/episodeguide/dalekhistory1.shtml BBC.co.uk 'Discontinuity Guide' article on '''Dalek History: Part One''' in the original series of ''Doctor Who'']</ref> It is further noted that, since the [[Fourth Doctor]] inadvertently [[Genesis Incident|changed Dalek history]] so that [[Davros]] survived, this event would have occurred vastly differently if it happened at all in the new [[timeline]].<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/episodeguide/dalekhistory1.shtml BBC.co.uk 'Discontinuity Guide' article on '''Dalek History: Part Two''' in the original series of ''Doctor Who'']</ref>

* ''[[The Dalek Handbook]]'' suggests that the Daleks who waged Operation Divide and Conquer and the Spiridon campaign were [[time travel]]ers from the [[future]] attempting to overwrite their own [[history]], observing that a new hierarchy with [[grey Dalek]] [[Dalek drone|drone]]s, who had only identified the [[Third Doctor]] in the [[Time Paradox Incident]], succeeded the [[silver Dalek]]s following the [[41st century]] [[Dalek Civil War]] which itself followed the [[Time Destructor Incident]] of [[4000]]. It is further speculated that the [[Type V Dalek|silver Daleks]] in the [[Exxilon Gambit]] were [[27th century]]-native Daleks who had been subsumed into the future Dalek forces.
