During the reign of the [[Dalek Empire]], the Daleks began keeping armies in [[suspended animation]], most notably the [[Spiridon army|army]] on [[Spiridon]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Planet of the Daleks (TV story)|Planet of the Daleks]]'', [[WC]]: ''[[The Sentinel of the Fifth Galaxy (webcast)|The Sentinel of the Fifth Galaxy]]'') In the [[Last Great Time War]], the Daleks began boosting their overworked army, converting conquered [[Dalek of human origin|humans into Daleks]] at an accelerated rate to serve as cannon fodder and harvesting versions of themselves from alternate realities to serve as shock troopers, creating the [[Skaro Degradations]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Engines of War (novel)|Engines of War]]'') Numbering at a "billion billion" units, the Dalek army attacked [[Gallifrey]] on [[Fall of Gallifrey|the last day]] of the war, destroying itself in its own crossfire when the planet disappeared. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') The post-Time War [[New Dalek Empire]] was said to have a standing army large enough to "slaughter the cosmos".

When the [[New Dalek Paradigm]] was raised, they used the production facilities of [[Goth (planet)|Goth]] to quickly build a galaxy-conquering army. [[Drone Dalek (New Dalek Paradigm)|Red Drones]] initially made up the bulk of the [[Dalek Imperial Army]] before the New Paradigm's repeated failures led the [[Prime Minister of the Daleks]] to replace them with the [[bronze Dalek]]s associated with the Time War so as to provoke the most [[fear]] across [[N-Space|the universe]]. The larger Red Drones became an officer class, albeit one kept safely away from the front line. [[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.
