With it clear that the Paradigm was enduring defeat after defeat at the hands of the Eleventh Doctor, the Paradigm began to lose influence in the restored Dalek Empire they had established, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe (short story)|Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe]]'') with Daleks that no longer wore the distinctive multi-colored Paradigm casings coming to represent the empire as it expanded. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Witch's Familiar (TV story)|The Witch's Familiar]]'', et. al) To distance itself from the Paradigm's many defeats, the Dalek state reorganised itself under the [[Parliament of the Daleks]] and its [[Prime Minister of the Daleks|Dalek Prime Minister]], creating the [[resurrected Dalek Empire]]. To further downplay their connection to the New Paradigm, the Prime Minister also promoted the red Paradigm drones to be officers, ordering that standard drones return to the [[Bronze Dalek|bronze casings]] seen in the Time War because it felt this casing was more likely to strike fear into their enemies.

As the now-Parliament commanded Dalek Empire expanded, [[Oswin Oswald]], a human who had been converted into a Dalek and also a temporal splinter of [[Clara Oswald]], [[Asylum Incident|erased]] all knowledge of the Doctor from the [[Pathweb|Dalek Pathweb]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Asylum of the Daleks (TV story)|Asylum of the Daleks]]'') an act that crippled the Dalek war effort for centuries as the Parliament, until the knowledge of their foe was restored during the [[Siege of Trenzalore]], was left to debate as to who their forgotten arch-nemesis had been | As the now-Parliament commanded Dalek Empire expanded, [[Oswin Oswald]], a human who had been converted into a Dalek and also a temporal splinter of [[Clara Oswald]], [[Asylum Incident|erased]] all knowledge of the Doctor from the [[Pathweb|Dalek Pathweb]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Asylum of the Daleks (TV story)|Asylum of the Daleks]]'') an act that either crippled the Dalek war effort for centuries — as the Parliament, until the knowledge of their foe was restored during the [[Siege of Trenzalore]], was left to debate as to who their forgotten arch-nemesis had been ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe (short story)|Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe]]'') — or emboldened the Daleks because they suddenly lacked the fear that had held them back. Furthermore, in this latter account, the Daleks were left with the belief that they had won the Time War because, while they had survived it, they knew of no surviving Time Lords.

The Matrix's projection of this event confirmed to the Time Lords that the Pathweb, which was ever elusive to them, could indeed be hacked, and so they devoted additional resources to this means of attack. They also learnt from Oswin's experience that not all Dalek conversions were successful, understanding that the discovery of even one drone that was not totally subservient to Dalek control would give Gallifrey a massive tactical advantage.

The Daleks captured [[the Yearn]] which had been exiled from [[Medrüth]] by the Doctor. It told them it had encountered a surviving Time Lord, to the surprise of the Daleks who now believed none had survived the Time War. To lure the survivor out, the Supreme led an [[Dalek invasion of Medrüth|invasion of Medrüth]], accompanied by the Eternal and a Strategist. The gambit succeeded; luring the Doctor back to Medrüth. He was captured and interrogated on if he was the only surviving Time Lord, but refused to give any information so the Scientist connected him to the Yearn in hopes of it attacking his mind to provide data. This led to the Doctor striking a deal with the Yearn instead for it to consume the Dalek Pathweb, immobilising the invaders. The effect proved short-lived as the Daleks reasserted their collective identity over the Yearn and regained control of themselves in time to destroy a fleeing freighter carrying Medrüthian refugees. | The Daleks captured [[the Yearn]] which had been exiled from [[Medrüth]] by the Doctor.
