* There are two extracts from an in-universe book series called ''The Children of Davros'', ''Volume XX'' and ''[[The Children of Davros Volume XIX|Volume XIX]]'', published in [[4065]]. (The subtitle for Volume XX is ''A Short History of the Dalek Race'') It is stated the [[Movellan virus]] killed 83% of the Daleks and cut off Skaro, cauisng the various surviving sector commands to become the factions "that characterize Dalek politics to this day". Davros' "subversion" of the "imperial Skarosian Daleks" is also part of a technological renaissance centred on Skaro. The Doctor expands on the Dalek civil war over racial purity, stating the factions normally wouldn't fight as they "bang databases" and one Daleks listens to the other, but the Imperials and Renegades don't recognise the other ''as'' Daleks. | * There are two extracts from an in-universe book series called ''The Children of Davros'', ''Volume XX'' and ''[[The Children of Davros Volume XIX|Volume XIX]]'', published in [[4065]].

* The [[Imperial Dalek|Imperial faction]] employs [[scout Dalek]]s with "overpowered motor[s]" that navigate and attack using sensor signals from bulb housings on their torsos. They may bear an ancestral resemblance to the reconnaissance drone depicted in [[TV]]: ''[[Resolution (TV story)|Resolution]]''. | * The [[Imperial Dalek|Imperial faction]] employs [[scout Dalek]]s with "overpowered motor[s]" that navigate and attack using sensor signals from bulb housings on their torsos.

* The [[Renegade Dalek]] faction employs electronic countermeasure pods, a form of in-built intrusion countermeasures electronics (ICE), in their defence. These devices allow them to infiltrate and confuse the targeting computer and life support systems of any [[Imperial Dalek]]s who come into range. During their first face-to-face encounter in London, the Renegades overwhelm their opposition by distorting their foes' aim and eventually drown them in their own nutrient tanks.

* The Daleks know the Doctor by the titles of [[Ka Farq Gatri]], Enemy of the Daleks and the Bringer of Darkness. These were reused commonly in 1990s/2000s spin-off media, but most prominently for [[COMIC]]: ''[[Metamorphosis (comic story)|Metamorphosis]]'', ''[[Emperor of the Daleks! (comic story)|Emperor of the Daleks!]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[Love and War (novel)|Love and War]]'', ''[[The Quantum Archangel (novel)|The Quantum Archangel]]'' and for the Second Doctor in [[COMIC]]: ''[[Bringer of Darkness (comic story)|Bringer of Darkness]]''. | * The Daleks know the Doctor by the titles of [[Ka Farq Gatri]], Enemy of the Daleks and the Bringer of Darkness.

* The Doctor mentions the Movellan War to Ace, Rachel and Allison. The [[Movellan virus]] apparently fragmented the Daleks and left them in isolated factions. | * The Doctor mentions the Movellan War to Ace, Rachel and Allison.

* The novelisation expands on Davros's origin, depicting the bombardment that led to him becoming crippled and chief scientist of the Kaled scientific division. The Kaled High Command attempted to persuade him to suicide after he was lamed. Citing his genetic impurity. Davros instead came to the realisation that they were too weak to abide by their principles. They couldn't kill him or even exile him and that weakness was incorporated into the Dalek design. This rejection and the bombardment were depicted in [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Davros (audio story)|Davros]]'' and [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Corruption (audio story)|Corruption]]'', respectively. | * The novelisation expands on Davros's origin, depicting the bombardment that led to him becoming crippled and chief scientist of the Kaled scientific division.

* The novelisation is notable for providing many points of reference for lore in the [[Virgin New Adventures]]. [[Kadiatu Lethbridge-Stewart (Remembrance of the Daleks)|Kadiatu Lethbridge-Stewart]], an ancestor of [[Kadiatu Lethbridge-Stewart|the character]] who later appears in ''[[Transit (novel)|Transit]]'', is introduced as the author of the oft-quoted ''The Children of Davros''. Flashbacks to ancient [[Gallifrey]] introduce "[[the Other]]", a prominent figure with links to the Doctor and the mysterious third member of the founding [[Triumvirate]] with [[Rassilon]] and [[Omega]]. | * The novelisation is notable for providing many points of reference for lore in the [[Virgin New Adventures]].
