Even though their conflict was bringing about the utter destruction of time and space — with the War Doctor saying that "every moment in time and space [was] burning" because of the War ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') — and despite the years that had passed, the mighty armies of the Daleks and Time Lords still continued their clash, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Meet the Doctor (DWAN 2006 short story)|Meet the Doctor]]'') but the Daleks found their campaign going exceptionally well. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') A fragmented Dalek transmission from the Time War, one of several salvaged and recorded in ''[[The Dalek Conquests]]'' having been found echoing through [[the Void]] or squeezed through [[temporal anomaly|temporal anomalies]] and [[black hole]]s, spoke of an attack formation, the extermination of the Time Lords and an impending Dalek victory.

Around this time, the Dalek drone that would later be dubbed "the [[Metaltron]]" was created in a Dalek nursery to be one of the countless drones thrown into the War to die for the Dalek cause. After excess limbs were removed from the mutant, with those parts then being placed back into the incubation vats to create new troops, the Dalek was assigned a training squad, later being told it would die in the most significant war its species had ever fought. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dalek (novelisation)|Dalek]]'') Despite the Dalek advances, the day before the end of the Time War, the War Doctor went to [[Skaro]] and destroyed most of the [[Dalek Emperor]]'s fleet. Using a stolen [[gunship]], he burned the message "no more" into the [[Dalek City]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') By the end of the War, ([[TV]]: ''[[Daleks in Manhattan (TV story)|Daleks in Manhattan]]'') the conflict's devastation brought about the destruction of Skaro, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Whoniverse (novel)|The Whoniverse]]'') leaving only ruins behind. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Meet the Doctor (DWAN 2006 short story)|Meet the Doctor]]'') The Doctor remembered seeing the capital of [[Dalek City|capital]] of [[Kaalann]] left in ruins after the Daleks fled Skaro, leaving destroyed casings behind in the wrecked halls.

Shortly before the attack on Gallifrey, the Daleks launched [[Attack upon the Kasterborous constellation|a successful incursion]] into the [[Kasterborous|Kasterborous constellation]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dalek (novelisation)|Dalek]]'') This victory came a mere day after the Metaltron was assigned its [[Dalek Commander 1 (Dalek)|Commander]], which was killed in the assault. The drone was certain its officer had fought bravely to help the empire secure a victory and was assigned [[Dalek Commander 2 (Dalek)|a new Commander]].
