Dalek (The Warrior's universe): Difference between revisions

After countless failed attempts to fully revert this timeline, resulting in countless near-identical versions of the initial Carrisent Particum timeline being sealed and destroyed inside the Particum only for the Warrior to return to the start of his interrogation by the CIA, the Warrior finally succeeded in sealing the original Carrisent Particum timeline inside the Particum, albeit by diverting from the path planned by his future self and the Master, ultimately leading to the Master being exterminated by the Twin Dalek. Upon succeeding, he returned to Gallifrey shortly before the Daleks' invasion, although he was left distressed and confused by the continued presence of a Particum in [[Narvin's office]] containing a version of himself despite seemingly averting the timeline in which the Particum was created. Despite this anomaly, he managed to ensure that the Skaroan invasion of Gallifrey failed, consequently preventing the Unified Skaroan Alliance from conquering the universe, although despite the Warrior and the Master's plans, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Aftershocks (audio story)|Aftershocks]]'') the Warrior failed to outright end the Time War in this manner.

[[Dalek Supreme Type E|Type E Dalek Supremes]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The Stolen Earth (TV story)|The Stolen Earth]]'', [[PROSE]]: {{cs|Dalek Combat Training Manual (reference book)|chaptnum=VI|chaptname=Dalek Hierarchy}}) commanded Dalek time ships and, during the Time War's final segment, [[Dalek Supreme (The Warrior Meets His Destiny)|one]] devolved into a variant resembling ([[WC]]: {{cs|The Warrior Meets His Destiny (webcast)}}) the [[Black Dalek Leader]] of the Doctor's universe, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Chase (TV story)|The Chase]]'') albeit with silver [[sense globe]]s ([[WC]]: {{cs|The Warrior Meets His Destiny (webcast)}}) instead of [[blue]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Chase (TV story)|The Chase]]'') The Supreme then devolved into a variant resembling ([[WC]]: {{cs|The Warrior Meets His Destiny (webcast)}}) the [[Dalek Prime]] of the Doctor's universe, in its golden [[Dalek Emperor]] casing, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Invasion of the Daleks (comic story)|Invasion of the Daleks]]'') before shifting into a casing identical to ([[WC]]: {{cs|The Warrior Meets His Destiny (webcast)}}) the Black Dalek Leader's [[Dalek Earthforce]] [[Supreme Controller]] casing. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Dalek Invasion of Earth (TV story)|The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]'') The Supreme eventually stabilised as a scorched, dead Bronze Dalek with a curved wire around each [[luminosity discharger]]. ([[WC]]: {{cs|The Warrior Meets His Destiny (webcast)}})

The [[Twin Dalek]] existed within an entirely unique casing specifically designed to facilitate them, due to being a pair of [[Dalek mutant]]s that could only survive by coexisting in a single casing. Their casing featured two gunsticks, one for each mutant to use. The Twins held a very high rank in the Unified Skaroan Alliance, even greater than [[Commander]] [[Esk]], which allowed them the authority to assume command of her operations if they possessed the necessary permission from the rest of the Alliance's [[general]]s. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Aftershocks (audio story)|Aftershocks]]'')

The Daleks of [[the Warrior's universe]] [[Evolution|evolved]] far faster ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Aftershocks (audio story)|Aftershocks]]'') than their counterparts in the [[Aberrant timeline (Dust Devil)|original timeline]] ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Dust Devil (audio story)|Dust Devil]]'') and, by extension, [[Dalek|their counterparts]] in [[the Doctor's universe]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)|Genesis of the Daleks]]'') as the [[Genesis Dalek]]s were able to use the [[Fourth Doctor's Time Ring]], which he accidentally left on [[Unified Skaro|Skaro]] ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Aftershocks (audio story)|Aftershocks]]'') after being extracted by the [[Time Lord (The Warrior's universe)|Time Lords]] following his attempt to avert [[Creation of the Daleks|the Daleks' creation]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Dust Devil (audio story)|Dust Devil]]'') to rapidly accelerate their evolution into a [[time]]-active species ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Aftershocks (audio story)|Aftershocks]]'') on par with the Daleks of the [[Last Great Time War]] of the Doctor's universe. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]]'' et al.) As such, Dalek technology in the Warrior's universe was designed to fuel the [[Unified Skaroan Alliance]]'s war machine against the universe, and particularly centered around [[time travel]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Aftershocks (audio story)|Aftershocks]]'') [[The Master (The Warrior's universe)|The Master]] described the Daleks to [[The resistance (Time Killers)|the resistance]], an organisation of [[Brankrupt]] [[Millennian]]s on [[Marinus (The Warrior's universe)|Marinus]], as "[[engineer]]s from another world" whose technology was designed "to make [[slave]]s of the universe," ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Time Killers (audio story)|Time Killers]]'') and considered them to "lack the Time Lords' panache" when naming their technology. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Aftershocks (audio story)|Aftershocks]]'')

[[DARDIS|Dalek time ships]] were far larger in size than Dalek flying saucers and featured a bridge flanked with two control computers adorned with [[sense globe]]s, as well as a lower level. The interiors of these ships featured ambient orange lighting and walls lined with different types of [[scanner]]s. ([[WC]]: ''[[The Warrior Meets His Destiny (webcast)|The Warrior Meets His Destiny]]'') Dalek time ships contained particularly strong weapons programmed to [[self-destruct]] if salvaged by non-Dalek [[lifeform]]s, although this failsafe could be bypassed by a skilled individual. [[Weapon (Time Killers)|One such weapon]] was powerful enough to break through a [[The Wall|temporal barrier]] separating two [[time zone]]s, and sounded a firing noise similar to that of a Dalek [[gunstick]]. If mishandled, however, the weapon had enough power to vapourise a large encampment. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Time Killers (audio story)|Time Killers]]'') [[Dalek time ship (The Warrior Meets His Destiny)|One]] Dalek time ship [[devolution|devolved]] into numerous versions of itself during the final segment of the Time War, including a [[silver]]-and-[[black]] variant, a variant with yellow lighting, ([[WC]]: ''[[The Warrior Meets His Destiny (webcast)|The Warrior Meets His Destiny]]'') and a second silver-and-black variant, identical to a type of Dalek time ship developed by the Daleks of the Doctor's universe. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Chase (TV story)|The Chase]]'')  

*Thompson also considered including the [[Dalek (Barusa's universe)|Daleks]] of [[Barusa's universe]] from ''[[The Chronicles of Doctor Who? (short story)|The Chronicles of Doctor Who?]]'' among the other [[Dalek variant]]s onboard the [[Dalek time ship (The Warrior Meets His Destiny)|Dalek time ship]] in ''[[The Warrior Meets His Destiny (webcast)|The Warrior Meets His Destiny]]'', but ultimately did not include them, as he "wasn’t sure [he] could do [them] justice."<ref>https://x.com/InvincibleChr1s/status/1728798349149573258</ref>
