After the [[War in the Medusa Cascade]], all [[Dalek]] saucers were destroyed, save one. This one saucer fell back in time to [[World War II|World War Two]]. The three Daleks remaining on-board discovered a [[progenitor]] device which contained pure Dalek [[DNA]] that could be used to rebuild their empire. The progenitor did not recognise them as pure Daleks because their DNA was created from cells of [[Davros]]' body. | After the [[War in the Medusa Cascade]], all [[Dalek]] saucers were destroyed, save one.

The three surviving Daleks set a trap for the Doctor, tricking him into identifying them as Daleks. Using his "testimony" they were able to activate the progenitor. The result was the creation of a new Dalek paradigm. They had a bulkier, hunched casing, a new eyepiece, a new shaped dome, a neck section consisting of four flared rings, a thicker midsection and bumper, and a powerful laser which was capable of totally disintegrating enemies, including other Daleks. They destroyed their predescesors and attempted to destroy [[Earth|The Earth]] using an [[Oblivion Continuum]] inside their [[android]] [[Edwin Bracewell]]. The colour of the casing varied according to role/rank. The white was the [[White Supreme Dalek|supreme]], the orange was the [[Scientist Dalek|scientist]], the blue was the [[Strategist Dalek|Strategist]], the yellow was the [[Eternal Dalek|eternal]], and the red was the [[Drone Dalek|drone]].

This Dalek seemed to have more of a personality than the other Daleks. It had a very short temper and a very huge ego. It boasts about how the Doctor's weakness is his sympathy for Earth and Daleks have no such weakness. It also seems to be very demanding. The white Dalek had a deep voice, reminiscent of the [[Dalek Emperor]] in [[DW]]: ''[[Bad Wolf (TV story)|Bad Wolf]]''/''[[The Parting of the Ways]]'' and the Supreme Dalek in [[DW]]: ''[[The Stolen Earth]]''/''[[Journey's End]]''.The white Dalek spoke the most out of all the new Daleks. The other two speakers were the scientist and strategist, though they didn't speak as much as the leader. Also, the conversation between the [[Eleventh Doctor]] and the Dalek Supreme echoes of the conversation beetween the Dalek Emperor and the [[Ninth Doctor]] in that the Daleks are giving the Doctor a choice between saving [[Earth|the Earth]] or destroying the Daleks once and for all. | This Dalek seemed to have more of a personality than the other Daleks.
