Later in the Time War, the Daleks had bolstered their numbers by [[Dalek of human origin|converting humans]] into Dalek drones. Due to their "impure" origins, they were viewed as more expendable than [[Skarosian]] Daleks and so were fielded as cannon fodder. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Engines of War (novel)|Engines of War]]'') In their observation of the [[Asylum Incident]] from the [[post-Time War universe]], the [[Time Lord]]s understood that not all Dalek conversions were successful and that finding even one Dalek drone that was not totally subservient to Dalek control would provide a massive tactical advantage.

A single bronze Dalek soldier, who was fielded in the [[fall of Arcadia]], fell through time to [[Earth]] where it was found by [[human]]s and, after fifty [[year]]s, ended up in [[the Vault (Dalek)|the Vault]] of [[Henry van Statten]], who called it the "[[Metaltron]]", in [[2012]]. Greatly damaged, the "Metaltron" sent a [[distress signal]] which was picked up by the [[Ninth Doctor]], who believed it to be the last Dalek in existence at the time. Manipulating [[Rose Tyler]] to make physical contact with its casing, the "Metaltron" used her [[artron energy|background radiation]] to reconstruct itself. In the absence of orders from superiors, the "Metaltron" [[Battle of GeoComTex|fought to escape the Vault]] and intended to follow the [[Primary Order]], the extermination of all non-Dalek life, only to find it was [[mutation|mutated]] by Rose's [[human]] [[DNA]]. Conflicted with its new [[emotion]]s, the Dalek chose to [[self-destruct]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]]'') | |||
The drone casings of the [[New Dalek Empire]] were identical to the bronze casings of the Time War [[Dalek Empire]]. One minor variation, the [[Vault Dalek]]s (found aboard their space station the ''[[Crucible]]'') possessed a specialised [[manipulator arm]] with eight "digits" but were otherwise identical. The mutants inside all the New Empire casings were grown from the cells of [[Davros]]' own body. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Stolen Earth (TV story)|The Stolen Earth]]'') The New Dalek Empire was ultimately destroyed by the [[Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor]], however.
