The Dalek saucers of theLast Great Time War and beyond werebronze like the contemporarybasicDaleks. As recognised by theNinth Doctor, the average Dalek saucer had a complement of more than 2,000Daleks. (TV:The Parting of the Ways) These saucers were armed withmissiles andenergy weapons. (TV:The Parting of the Ways,The Stolen Earth,Victory of the Daleks)
TheDalek Emperor resided in a much largerDalek Flagship. (TV:The Parting of the Ways) Other Dalek saucers were much smaller and could be maintained by a single Dalek. (TV:The Stolen Earth,Victory of the Daleks)
History[[edit] |[edit source]]
Development[[edit] |[edit source]]
The Daleks began to research space travel when aKrattorian ship piloted by aslave-ownerKest landed onSkaro. Interested in seizing the ship for themselves, they began examining it. Kest's escaped slavesSala andAstolith managed to steal the ship, killing Kest and leaving Skaro. However, by then the Daleks had learned enough about spaceship operation to begin the construction of their own spacecrafts. (COMIC:Power Play)
Research was delayed when the Daleks encountered the problem of metal fatigue. They needed a material that could withstand more heat than their own casings. When Dalek scientistZeg accidentally discovered such a material inmetalert, he claimed it would suit their needs but a power struggle resulted between him and theDalek Emperor. Zeg was destroyed in a duel but the Emperor decreed they would improve on the metalert experiments, allowing them to resume to space travel program. (COMIC:Duel of the Daleks)
The Daleks built prototype ships such asProto 1,4, and9.Proto 13 had a flying saucer design and was successful in take off, space flight, and entering/exitinghyperspace. It became the standard Dalek ship. (COMIC:The Amaryll Challenge) To further their military campaigns, the Daleks converted vast swathes of the wastes surrounding thecity ofKalaann into industrial plants where saucers could be constructed. (PROSE:Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe)
Early history[[edit] |[edit source]]
The Daleks used saucers when invadingplanets, including during the2150s Dalek invasion of Earth ofEarth. Each saucer was under the command of aDalek Saucer Commander. They were all caught in the upshot of an explosion when their base inBedfordshire blew up. (TV:The Dalek Invasion of Earth) The ships in this invasion wereMk. 1 saucers. (PROSE:Spaceships[+]Loading...["Spaceships (feature)"]) In the immediate aftermath of the invasion,only one saucer was known to remain operational, being docked in a London sewer. Thougha surviving Dalek bargained with Dalek collaboratorMarcus Bray for passage to the saucer, Bray wound up killing the Dalek, later making his way to the saucer in an attempt to contact theDalek Fleet.
With the saucer's antenna damaged, the message failed to send. Following Bray's demise,David Campbell suggested thatSusan Foreman use the saucer to escape the anti-alien environment of Earth but she refused, setting the ship toself-destruct. (AUDIO:After the Daleks) In the years that followed, numerous saucers were dismantled by humanity, with Susan and David visiting some and learning how to fly one. (AUDIO:To the Death) Saucers were also used during the Daleks' second invasion thirty years later. The captiveEighth Doctor was transported across the Atlantic onboard one, which was shot down by a resistance submarine which did not know he was onboard. (AUDIO:Lucie Miller)
To foil the Daleks’ occupation,Lucie Miller crashed a saucer into the time engine theDalek Time Controller planned to have installed at the Earth’s core, creating atime warp which wiped out the occupying Dalek forces. (AUDIO:To the Death) In2223, aBlack Dalek led a single saucer to London to establish a base for anew invasion of Earth. The Daleks were defeated bythe Bruce Master, enablingLila Kreeg andVienna Salvatori to useYellow Brick technology to send the saucer into theTime Vortex with the Master onboard. (AUDIO:Vengeance)
A trio of flying saucers fled aplanet afterIan Chesterton and theFirst Doctor used aray gun to defend themselves against them. (COMIC:The Defeat of the Daleks)
Theasymmetrical Daleks used a golden, saucer-shapedspace craft with ahatch at the top. This craft was taken by theSecond Doctor,John andGillian after they destroyed the Daleks. (COMIC:Attack of the Daleks)
Second Dalek War[[edit] |[edit source]]
The saucers were a huge part theDalek Empire's war effort during theSecond Dalek War of the26th century. At the very beginning of the war, theDalek Supreme'ssaucer, aCouncillor-class craft, was stolen by a group ofThals who used it to escapeSpiridon, causing the Dalek Supreme to send for a rescue craft. (TV:Planet of the Daleks,PROSE:Doctor Who and the Planet of the Daleks)
A saucer-shapedDalek command ship was established on theplanetMazam. It was commanded by aCommand Dalek with a complement of 1,000 Daleks andOmega-Units. (COMIC:Abslom Daak... Dalek Killer)
TheExterminator was a supremeExterminator-classflagship belonging to theDalek Inquisitor General,Dalek X, which contained over 500 Daleks. When theExterminator was destroyed at the end of the war on the planetHurala, the Dalek fleet was pushed right back from Earth-Space. (PROSE:Prisoner of the Daleks)
Later history[[edit] |[edit source]]
Dalek saucers appeared over theforests ofKembel as the Daleks established a base on the planet. (PROSE:Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe) In4000, the First Doctor,Steven Taylor andSara Kingdom stole a Dalek saucer to escape theplanetMira. Thousands more were part of theinvasion fleet the Daleks planned to use to wipe out thesolar system. They were destroyed by theTime Destructor. (TV:The Daleks' Master Plan,PROSE:The Mutation of Time)
After the Dalek war, aDalek saucer Mk. 2 (PROSE:Spaceships[+]Loading...["Spaceships (feature)"]) travelled to the planetExxilon in search ofparrinium. All of its power was taken by theExxilon City. When the power was restored, the ship took off. It was destroyed byDan Galloway, who had stowed away on the ship with a Dalek bomb, which he detonated. (TV:Death to the Daleks)
During the course of the Daleks'Great War,Thal forces destroyed 200 Dalek saucers in theSeventh Sector, and theDraconians destroyed half of the Dalek fleet along theDraconian frontier. (PROSE:The Evil of the Daleks) Following the outbreak of theGreat Civil War, theHumanised Daleks led byAlpha used asaucer to flee Skaro. (COMIC:Children of the Revolution)
Saucers were present on Earth when the Daleks used time travel to invade Earth again following the destruction of theSecond World Peace Conference. (HOMEVID:Day of the Daleks)
The Daleks used asaucer to destroy Earthsatellites during theCold War, hoping theAmericans and theRussians would blame each other and the conflict would escalate. The saucer landed at the bottom of the ocean, sealed within a pressure dome, where it was to wait until the Daleks saw the perfect moment to strike. However, it was infiltrated by the Doctor who contacted asubmarine, theHMSPandora, and ordered it to fire on the ship. The Daleks died as the ship flooded. (COMIC:The Threat from Beneath)
During a conflict with theIce Warriors, the Daleks usedbronzedgoldencommand saucers with Councillor-classassault craft. (PROSE:The Jeopardy of Solar Proximity)
TheImperial Daleks loyal to theEmperor Dalek used saucer-shapedbattle cruisers andshuttles. OnSpiridon,Davros'Rebel Daleks' fielded their own distinctly shapedmothership andshuttle. After Davros successfully usurped the Emperor Dalek (COMIC:Emperor of the Daleks!) his Rebel Daleks became the new Imperial Daleks while the former Imperial Daleks becameRenegade Daleks. (TV:Remembrance of the Daleks)
Among the images seen by theEighth Doctor in aTomorrow Window was a ruinedcity, with manybuildings onfire and a Dalek saucer hovering overhead, withDaleks below scanning the ruins. (PROSE:The Tomorrow Windows)
Led by theEmperor, the Daleks launched a fleet of over a thousand Dalek Saucers into theTime Vortex. These forces were stopped by theEighth Doctor, who left them trapped in the vortex. (AUDIO:The Time of the Daleks) TheTime Lords later made a deal with the Daleks that allowed them to leave the Time Vortex. (AUDIO:Neverland)
At a point when the Emperor anticipated theTime War on Skaro, theMain Saucer saw to theextermination of theMechanoids onMagella, on the orders of theDalek Commander who would later be namedDalek Sec. (PROSE:Birth of a Legend)
Dalek saucers were seen byCaptain Jack Harkness during theTenth Dalek Occupation, after which the Daleks disappeared fromspace to fight the Time War. (PROSE:Doctor Who: The Encyclopedia)
Kotturuh crisis[[edit] |[edit source]]
In the timeline created by temporal fluctuations caused by the Tenth Doctor's actions in theDark Times, (PROSE:The Guide to Dark Times) theEmperor led a fleet of Dalek saucers to invadeIslos (WC:The Archive of Islos) but they were forced to retreat back to Skaro bythe Entity. (WC:The Sentinel of the Fifth Galaxy) The Emperor andStrategist travelled toMechanus in asaucer, damaging it by flying it through the orbital defences. (WC:Planet of the Mechanoids) After theMechanoidsdefeated the Entity, they returned to Skaro aboard it, crashing due to the damage it had sustained. (WC:Day of Reckoning)
The Emperor created aDalek Time Squad to investigate the temporal fluctuations (PROSE:The Guide to Dark Times) and they travelled back to the Dark Times in aDalek saucer after the Eighth Doctor connected its engines to his TARDIS. (AUDIO:The Enemy of My Enemy) The saucer was used during theBattle of Mordeela and to explore the Dark Times. After completing their Symbiont, the Time Squad used it toattack Gallifrey. An explosive in the saucer's engines was detonated by the Eighth Doctor, forcing it into the Time Vortex. (PROSE:All Flesh is Grass) He continued to sabotage the saucer, eventually resulting in it breaking apart in the Vortex. (AUDIO:Mutually Assured Destruction)
The Last Great Time War[[edit] |[edit source]]
As noted in theTime Lords'Dalek Combat Training Manual, a new generation of Dalek saucer, theTime War saucer, (PROSE:Spaceships[+]Loading...["Spaceships (feature)"]) with increased firepower was built for theLast Great Time War. (PROSE:Dalek Combat Training Manual) During the war, the average saucer contained over two thousand Daleks each and were small and bronze, the same colour as the drone Daleks of that time, as they had been in the Second Dalek War. (TV:The Parting of the Ways,PROSE:Prisoner of the Daleks) In addition, they held multipleDalek Attack Ships. (TV:The Day of the Doctor) The flagship was the same colour but many times larger and contained bothDalek dronesand theEmperor's Personal Guards. (TV:Bad Wolf)
Bronze, saucer-shaped motherships, a design recognised byAbslom Daak, were used during the Time War. One suchmothership crashed on theplanetVeestrax and was found by theEleventh Doctor after the war. (COMIC:Outrun) Another model of saucer was themega-saucer, several of which were deployed into the fatefulbattle of Seramiphius V. (PROSE:Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe)
In theyearA10%?, aDalek saucer was sent toMarinus, where the Daleks intended to erase theVoord fromreality. However, the Voord were defended by theWar Doctor, who deployed achronic tripwire which accelerated theevolution of the Daleks within the saucer, reducing them to dust. As a result, the saucer crashed on Marinus' surface. (COMIC:Four Doctors)
A fleet of Dalek saucers in theTantalus Spiral were forced to retreat by theFifth Time Lord Battle Fleet. The War Doctor andCinder investigated inside one of their saucers on the city ofAndor onMoldox. (PROSE:Engines of War)
On the final day of the Time War, ten million Dalek saucers (TV:Dalek) surrounded Gallifrey and launched their biggest attack ever. The saucers bombarded the planet from orbit and deployed countless Daleks and Dalek fighter pods to invade the surface. During theFall of Arcadia, several saucers managed to breach the city's airspace and deploy their forces. After the city fell, the saucers turned their focus to theCapitol of theTime Lords itself. Although the Capitol was badly damaged, thesky trenches held. (TV:The Day of the Doctor)Leela witnessed a number of saucers advancing on the damaged Capitol. (WC:The Final Battle[+]Loading...["The Final Battle (webcast)"]) Dozens of Dalek saucers were shot down during the battle, and crashed around the Capitol. (TV:The End of Time)
At the end of the War, "all thirteen"incarnations ofthe Doctor froze Gallifrey in time, causing the Dalek fleet firing on the planet from all directions to blast itself apart, although everyone would believe they all burned with the planet. (TV:The Day of the Doctor)
After the Time War[[edit] |[edit source]]
TheEmperor's flagship survived andfell through time to about the2000th century. TheDalek Emperor built two hundred ships of his fleet and created half a million new Daleks to rule. They attacked Earth, distorting entire continents with their attack, but were all destroyed by theBad Wolf. (TV:Bad Wolf /The Parting of the Ways)
TheNew Dalek Empire used saucers with a modified appearance in their2009 invasion of Earth. Though the Daleks themselves could fly and hadpersonal weaponry, smaller versions of the saucers served as fighter craft. (TV:The Stolen Earth) The Dalek ships were destroyed by theMeta-Crisis Tenth Doctor along with theCrucible and the Daleks of the Empire. (TV:Journey's End)
The restoration of the Daleks[[edit] |[edit source]]
New Dalek Paradigm[[edit] |[edit source]]
A ship survived the fall of the New Empire (PROSE:Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe) and fell through time to1941, acquiring aProgenitor. This ship hid behindthe Moon. When the three surviving Daleks on board were confronted by theEleventh Doctor, they used a beacon on the ship to activate all the lights inLondon, leaving it vulnerable to theGermanBlitz. EnhancedSpitfires were sent to destroy the beacon. Two were destroyed by the Dalek defence guns mounted around the saucer, but theEleventh Doctor disabled the ship's shields and the dish was destroyed. The new Daleks escaped in their ship through atime corridor. (TV:Victory of the Daleks)
Asingle Dalek saucer was used by a platoon of Daleks to recover their lostTime Axis from theSS Lucy Gray. The ship was fired into thesun. (GAME:Return to Earth) The Dalek ship escaped by making a random jump several hundred years into the past. The Daleks attempted to force the Doctor to fix their ship by attachinghis TARDIS to their ship; the Doctor escaped and used his TARDIS to fling their ship into ablack hole. (GAME:Evacuation Earth)
Dalek saucers were used in the attack onStation 7 when the Daleks conducted a search for"the Abomination". They disguised their saucers as asteroids which they discarded when the attack began. All were destroyed — save one, which was used byan SSS officer to travel home — when caught in a deliberate volcanic eruption. (COMIC:The Only Good Dalek)
When the Daleks joined thePandorica Alliance formed to imprison the Eleventh Doctor in thePandorica to save the Universe, many Dalek saucers were part of the Alliance fleet which arrived atStonehenge in102 A.D. The Doctor stated that a typical Dalek battle fleet contained a minimum of twelve thousand ships. (TV:The Pandorica Opens)
A fleet of Dalek saucers waited aboveEarth in2106 when theNew Dalek Paradigm invadedLondon using a piece of theEternity Clock. The fleet was led by aDalek Flagship owned by theDalek Emperor. (GAME:The Eternity Clock)
A contingent of Daleks - in Survey ShipsSigma,Delta andEpsilon - sent ona mission throughhuman history to learn how humans fought war were caught in aVortex storm and were stranded in1908, with Ship Delta being destroyed. Still proceeding with their plan, they were foiled by the Eleventh Doctor and the combined armies of theFirst World War in1917 and Ship Sigma was sent crashing to the ground.One hundred years later, some archaeologists discovered the saucer underground and accidentally powered it back up. The Eleventh Doctor arrived just in time and connected the ship to a power line, overloading the reviving Daleks and their ship. (COMIC:The Dalek Project)
On theDalek Foundation world ofCarthedia, the Eleventh Doctor assumed the Daleks would not fire on him and the Blakely children while they stood close to a Dalek saucer, as they risked damaging it. The Doctor was proved wrong as the Daleks opened fire on them, tearing the saucer apart in the process. The Daleks continued to pursue the Doctor across theSunlight Worlds in other saucers and theDalek Time Controller retreated in one when it was attacked byJenibeth Blakely. (PROSE:The Dalek Generation)
Resurrected Dalek Empire[[edit] |[edit source]]
When the Doctor,Amy andRory were captured byDalek puppets, several saucers were present around theDalek Parliament. (TV:Asylum of the Daleks) The Parliament commanded theresurrected Dalek Empire and was based out of a flagship named theNacrana Va Hateen which roughly translated to "The Highest Authority". (PROSE:Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe)
During theSiege of Trenzalore, several saucers were present. In the end,The Highest Authority arrived as well. When the Doctor was granted a newregenerative cycle, the final burst of energy from hisfirst regeneration in the cycle obliterated the saucer and the rest of the fleet asThe Highest Authority descended on the Doctor to try to kill him before he could regenerate. (TV:The Time of the Doctor,PROSE:Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe,Twice Upon a Time)
During theDalek invasion of the galaxy,saucer chased theCombined Galactic Resistance ship piloted byJourney Blue and her brother, attempting to destroy it and kill the two. TheTwelfth Doctor succeeded in rescuing Journey, but her brother died. After "Rusty" turned evil again, he sent out a distress signal from theAristotle and the saucer docked with the ship, dispatching boarding Daleks to slaughter the crew. At first they were successful, but the efforts of the Doctor andClara Oswald turned "Rusty" against his own kind once more and he slaughtered the other Daleks on board theAristotle. "Rusty" then ordered the saucer to retreat, telling the crew that the humans had activated theAristotle's self-destruct. Fearing destruction and believing their mission accomplished, the saucer retreated with "Rusty" joining it to continue his campaign against his species. (TV:Into the Dalek)
ADalek saucer was chasing aCyber-ship with a Dalek later namedLumpy inside who had a piece of theOrb of Fates. (GAME:The Doctor and the Dalek)
An ancient saucer-shapedDalek harvest ship, believed by theTwelfth Doctor to have been taken "out ofmothballs" for theTime War, kidnapped children to use their minds forbattle computers. The Doctor boarded the ship and saved them. (COMIC:Harvest of the Daleks)
In2021, theThirteenth Doctor broadcasted theReconnaissance Dalek's signal throughout theTime Vortex, attracting the attention ofa saucer full of thousands ofDeath Squad Daleks to Earth. As the Doctor planned, the Daleks detected theimpure new Daleks and dispatched forces around the world to destroy them. The Doctor sentJack Harkness,Ryan Sinclair andGraham O'Brien to destroy the ship using explosives that Jack possessed. As the three men planted the bombs,Jack Robertson betrayed the Doctor to the Daleks. Warned of this, the Doctor lured the Dalek forces outside of the ship intoher spare TARDIS and set it to implode and teleport into the heart ofthe Void, destroying the Death Squad Daleks. Once the Daleks were aboard the TARDIS,Yasmin Khan signaled Jack who usedhis vortex manipulator to teleport himself, Ryan, Graham and Robertson off of the ship. As they teleported out, Ryan detonated the bombs, destroying the Dalek saucer. (TV:Revolution of the Daleks)
On5 December that year, saucers made up theDalek War Fleet which theSontarans tricked along with theCyber-Fleet into being destroyed by thefinal Flux event. (TV:The Vanquishers)
Other realities[[edit] |[edit source]]
In theUnbound Universe, theDaleks used Dalek saucers to assist in defendingSkaro from aQuatch invasion force.Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart assisted the Daleks in flying three saucers towards theQuatch mothership, allowing theUnbound Doctor to enterDavros'laboratory and convince the latter to thwart the Quatch invasion. (AUDIO:Masters of War[+]Loading...["Masters of War (audio story)"])
.png)
Dalek saucers were also widely utilised by theDaleks ofthe Warrior's universe in theTime War, (AUDIO:Dust Devil[+]Loading...["Dust Devil (audio story)"],WC:Doctor Who Unbound - Doctor of War: Genesis[+]Loading...["Doctor Who Unbound - Doctor of War: Genesis (webcast)"],AUDIO:Time Killers[+]Loading...["Time Killers (audio story)"],AUDIO:The Key To Key To Time[+]Loading...["The Key To Key To Time (audio story)"]) as well as their counterparts in theoriginal timeline that existed prior to the creation of the Warrior's reality. (AUDIO:Dust Devil[+]Loading...["Dust Devil (audio story)"]) The saucers of the Warrior's universe's Daleks were identical to the bronze model (WC:Doctor Who Unbound - Doctor of War: Genesis[+]Loading...["Doctor Who Unbound - Doctor of War: Genesis (webcast)"]) used by theBronze Daleks during theLast Great Time War ofthe Doctor's universe. (TV:Bad Wolf[+]Loading...["Bad Wolf (TV story)"] et al.)One Dalek saucer crashed in thewilderness ofMarinus along with aDalek time ship after both were caught in whatthe Master termed a "dogfight". Both ships were salvaged by the Master anda resistance force ofBankruptMillennians in preparation for an assault onMillennius to reclaim thecity fromHorol. The remains of the two Dalek ships were ultimately destroyed, along with the rest of Marinus, whenthe Warriordematerialisedhis TARDIS following the erasure of Horol'stemporal web. (AUDIO:Time Killers[+]Loading...["Time Killers (audio story)"])Another Dalek saucer flew from the final segment of the Time War toAridius (AUDIO:The Key To Key To Time[+]Loading...["The Key To Key To Time (audio story)"]) during whatthe Warrior deemed the start of the Time War, (AUDIO:Dust Devil[+]Loading...["Dust Devil (audio story)"]) after its Dalek crew were driveninsane from becoming conscious of their nature as segments of theKey to Time. (AUDIO:The Key To Key To Time[+]Loading...["The Key To Key To Time (audio story)"])
Weaponry[[edit] |[edit source]]
Dalek flying saucers were equipped withparticle beam cannons, (TV:Victory of the Daleks) magnetise beams to trap escaping ships, (TV:The Daleks' Master Plan) missile launchers (TV:The Parting of the Ways) and ahypnosound device to make targets see what they most fear or desire. (TV:Frontier in Space)
Some Dalek saucers could destroy entire planets with ease. Davros threatened to destroy Earth with hiskillcruiser. (TV:Remembrance of the Daleks) The Dalek saucer fleet that included theParliament of the Daleks was able to destroy theDalek Asylum planet with a barrage of missiles once itsforce field was taken down. (TV:Asylum of the Daleks) Often times, however, the Daleks still went through with invasions (GAME:City of the Daleks, et. al) instead of simply destroying a world from orbit. (TV:Asylum of the Daleks) The Daleks often wanted to exploit the resources of captured worlds (TV:The Dalek Invasion of Earth, et. al) and use their location if it proved to be strategic. (AUDIO:The Apocalypse Element, et. al) Furthermore, the Daleks wanted their enemies to die painful deaths as punishment for being non-Dalek. (PROSE:Dalek,Prisoner of the Daleks) While death in the explosion of a planet was quick, (TV:Asylum of the Daleks) Dalekgunsticks ensured a victim died in agony. (PROSE:Dalek,Prisoner of the Daleks)
Behind the scenes[[edit] |[edit source]]
Depiction[[edit] |[edit source]]
- Dalek flying saucers first appeared inThe Dalek Invasion of Earth. The DVD release of the story featured a new and more convincing CGIspecial effects version of the saucer as an alternative to the original. On the same DVD they also appeared in the entire story's title sequence at the beginning of part one.
- Dalek saucers featured prominently in the action ofThe Dalek Chronicles comics and other print-based Dalek stories.
- While the saucers do not appear in the original version ofDay of the Daleks, they were added into the Special Edition DVD release. The same ringing sound effect used inThe Dalek Invasion of Earth is used here.
- The interior of the flying saucer seen inVictory of the Daleks was not specially made for the show - it was in fact filmed in the storage room of an empty cigar factory.
- A Dalek flying saucer (post-2005) appears in the online gameDoctor In A Dash as one of three enemy ships, along with aSlitheen craft and aJudoon rocket, that race along withthe Doctor's TARDIS (the player) to find aSpace-Time Manipulator. Like the other enemy ships, the Dalek flying saucer can fire energy weapons to immobilise the other ships temporarily. Assuming the player completes the game, theTenth Doctor claims the Space-Time Manipulator and destroys it to prevent it falling into the wrong hands.
Merchandise[[edit] |[edit source]]
- Dalek Spaceship playsets were released as part ofCharacter Options'Character Building range, including a "detachableskimmercar" resembling ahoverbout.
