Ultimately, Davros was cut off by the Black Dalek, who spoke in its turn. Davros had never renounced his claim to be the supreme ruler of the Daleks; to him, they were nothing more than an extension of his own purposes. The Black Dalek insisted, however, that the Daleks could do what was needed without Davros, who would undoubtedly seize his first opportunity to reprogram them to obey him again. As Davros could not be trusted, it was deemed necessary for him to be [[exterminated]] so that the Dalek race could achieve its own destiny. Davros denounced the Daleks as [[fool]]s if they were to reject him, promising that without him they were doomed. The Daleks refused to listen further, and [[death sentence|sentenced]] their creator to death. Davros managed one last attempt to regain power, for there were some within the [[Dalek hierarchy|Dalek ranks]], including even within the Supreme Council, who felt that he was possibly telling the truth. At any rate, there were some Daleks who felt that Davros could be used and then discarded once his mind had been drained and utilized. A rescue attempt was staged but was anticipated by the Black Dalek had been anticipating this; since the disastrous losses of the [[Movellan War]], he had known that there was talk of overthrowing the Council and reforming the Dalek power scheme. The true and only reason Davros had been brought to Skaro was to force the rebel elements into the open. | Ultimately, Davros was cut off by the Black Dalek, who spoke in its turn.

The Black Dalek and his forces struck against whom they deemed to be [[traitor]]s. They succeeded in slaying the dissidents, leaving Davros with no means of escape. The Black Dalek ensured that the Dalek creator was condemned, and he was placed within a [[matter transmitter]]. It was set on a broad beam, and his component molecules were scattered about [[Skaro's sun]]. Despite his rantings and boasts, this resulted in the apparent death of Davros and the end of the war for the final control of the Daleks.

In the aftermath, the Daleks, still lacking the army they desired, executed an [[Daleks' master plan|elaborate plan]] to conquer [[the galaxy]] involving the construction of a [[Time Destructor]] and the formation of an [[Intergalactic Council]]. This [[Time Destructor Incident|plot]] was thwarted by the [[First Doctor]], and so the [[Dalek Wars]] lingered for the next couple of [[century|centuries]] as the Daleks were gradually pushed back to Skaro. There, the [[Dalek Prime]] launched a [[Operation Human Factor|new plot]] to use the [[Second Doctor]] isolate the [[Dalek Factor]] so it could be spread throughout [[human]] [[history]]. This backfired when the Doctor implanted the [[Human Factor]] into what became the [[Humanised Dalek]]s, resulting in the [[Dalek Civil War]] which resulted in the [[Final End]] of the Dalek Prime and the Dalek species itself.

Other accounts, however, indicated that the Daleks had survived the Human Factor incident, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Bringer of Darkness (comic story)|Bringer of Darkness]]'') and that the return of Davros was still within their future. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dalek Combat Training Manual (novel)|Dalek Combat Training Manual]]'') Incidentally, the circumstances of this account of Davros's trial after Necros, including its true purposes and the apparent execution of the Dalek creator, bore similarities to an account of a later [[Davros's trial (War of the Daleks)|trial of Davros]] following a staged [[destruction of Skaro]]. One witness to this event was the [[Eighth Doctor]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[War of the Daleks (novel)|War of the Daleks]]'') who would be embroiled in the [[Last Great Time War]] along with Davros, who followed the [[Dalek Emperor in the Last Great Time War|Dalek Emperor]].

According to one account, Davros was then taken to Skaro, where he was put on trial by the [[Dalek Prime|Golden Emperor]]. He tried to argue that under the Emperor, the Daleks, lacking his guidance, had seen their destiny curtailed, and that only he could allow them to advance once again. Although some [[Scientist Dalek]]s were privately swayed by the argument, the irate Emperor thundered that it was in command of the Daleks' destiny, not Davros, and ordered his [[extermination]]. | According to one account, Davros was then taken to Skaro, where he was put on trial by the [[Dalek Prime|Golden Emperor]].
