| CHARACTER: Classic Series Daleks The Daleks were the housing for the mutated Kaleds, inhabitants of the planet Skaro. The Kaleds warred with Skaro's other inhabitants, the Thals, for hundreds of years, making most of the planet uninhabitable. Davros reasoned that the Kaleds were mutating and so speeded up the process. He altered their brains to remove emotion, compassion and morality, turning the Kaleds into perfect fighting machines. The Daleks went on and exterminated Davros to dominate the Universe. Many planets and assaults were made which brought together other peoples and planets, who might otherwise have been enemies, to fight a common foe. The Daleks gained knowledge of time travel capabilities and planned to use the Time Destructor on the galaxy. This was eventually set off just on Kembel, wiping out a majority of the Dalek forces and unfortunately killed the Doctors companion, Sara Kingdom. The Daleks located Davros, revived him and hoped to use him to help defeat the Movellans. However, Davros was captured by mankind instead, and the Movellans developed a virus which wiped out the Daleks. Davros returned to Skaro, creating a deep division between Daleks loyal to him, and those loyal to the Supreme Dalek. Setting himself up as Emperor, Davros was tricked into using the Hand of Omega, and thus destroyed Skaro's sun, which obliterated Skaro as well. Big Finish Productions have also brought the Daleks back with each of the Doctors and in their own stand alone series - Dalek Empire and Dalek War and the Daleks are now going to be in the new TV Series. |
