& 4590 - Resurrection of the Daleks
 [1331]

One
Supreme Dalek came up with an audacious plan that would strengthen the Daleks’ position
.
Davros would be released from prison, and use his scientific genius and understanding of the Daleks to find an antidote for the Movellan virus. Dalek duplicate technology would be used to strike on twentieth-century Earth, while a second group, composed of duplicate versions of the fifth Doctor and his companions, would assassinate the High Council of Gallifrey. The plan totally failed.

Once Davros was released, he attempted to usurp control of the Dalek army and completely re-engineer the race. This met from resistance from those loyal to the Supreme Dalek, and the two factions began fighting. The Duplicates rebelled, destroying the prison station and the Dalek battlecruiser. Davros escaped.

The parents of Geoff, who was later a member of Davros’ science team, died in the Kensington disaster of ’97.

c 4600 - Davros
 [1333]

Arnold Baines, head of the TAI corporation (which sold everything from foodstuffs to recreational narcotics to laser cannons), tracked down Davros’ body. The sixth Doctor saw Davros revive. Baines hired both the Doctor and Davros to develop business strategies to help mankind spread to other galaxies. Davros secretly developed a computer model that could accurately predict the galactic stock market. With it, he planned to destroy capitalism in favour of a system that placed the entire galaxy’s economy on a permanent war footing. He launched a coup against Baines, but failed. Davros escaped in Baines’ spacecraft with a hostage, Kim, who killed herself - allowing the Doctor to crash the ship. The Doctor suspected that Davros survived.

Collectors were looking for Dalek regalia at this time. Some historians, like Lorraine Baines, offered revisionist histories where the Daleks were seen as victims, not aggressors, and Davros was hailed as a visionary. The Treaty of Parlagon prevented individuals from having nuclear weapons. There was famine in the galaxy, virtually every available planet of which had been colonised by humanity.

The Daleks reoccupied Skaro, and a new Supreme Dalek came to power. The Daleks developed biomechanoid computers that interfaced with human brains to provide the Daleks with raw creativity, and they began to reassert their power.

? 4615 - Revelation of the Daleks
 [1335]

A human President now ruled the galaxy, which was becoming overpopulated. Famine was a problem on worlds across known space. Tranquil Repose on Necros had been established for some time as a resting place for the dead of the galaxy - literally, as they were kept in suspended animation there until whatever killed them was cured by medical science. The “rock and roll years” of twentieth century Earth were extremely popular. The grandfather of a DJ on Necros purchased some genuine records from Earth on a visit there.

Davros went into hiding on Necros and formed an alliance with Kara, a local businesswoman. He took control of Tranquil Repose, and secretly began to break down the corpses there into a foodstuff. This ended famine across the galaxy, and Davros gained a reputation as “the Great Healer”. Kara discovered that Davros was also growing a new army of genetically re-engineered Daleks from the corpses, and planned to use them to take effective control of her company. She hired Orcini, an excommunicated member of the Grand Order of Oberon, to assassinate Davros.

Davros had been keeping track of the Doctor’s movements - when one of the Doctor’s friends, the agronomist Arthur Stengos, died, Davros prepared for the Doctor to attend the funeral. Orcini, the sixth Doctor and Peri thwarted Davros’ plans, although Orcini died in the process. The Daleks were summoned from Skaro and captured their creator. The Doctor suggested that protein from a commonplace purple flower could alleviate the famine.

? 4615 - The Davros Mission
 [1336]

The Daleks took Davros to Skaro and put him on trial for plotting against them and creating “impure” Daleks. En route, a Thal named Lareen snuck into Davros’ cell and - thinking she had convinced Davros to redeem himself by destroying his creations - provided him with a vial of super-concentrated Movellan virus. Had Davros released this, it would have killed all Daleks on Skaro and broken the spine of their empire. Instead, Davros convinced the Daleks that his refraining from destroying them demonstrated that they owed him their allegiance. The Daleks concurred, pledged to make Davros their Emperor and exterminated Lareen...

? 4620 - The Juggernauts
 [1337]

Davros crashed on the planet Lethe, where mining engineers excavated a group of Mechanoids. Davros attempted to build an army of Mechanoids (re-named “the Juggernauts”) that incorporated human tissue, but the grey Daleks tracked him down. The sixth Doctor and Mel sabotaged the Juggernaut production lines, and Davros’ body was severely injured in the fighting. His life-support chair self-destructed, which obliterated the colony, the grey Daleks and the Juggernauts, although the colonists themselves evacuated.

Earth had passed mandatory organ donation laws.

The sixth Doctor and Peri encountered the Daleks on Mandusus.
 [1338]

? 4625 - “... Up Above the Gods” / “Emperor of the Daleks”
 [1339]

The Daleks put Davros on trial - he had replaced his destroyed hand with a claw, and started to persuade some Daleks that they could learn from him. Nonetheless, the Emperor sentenced him to execution. Before the sentence was carried out, a giant asteroid entered the Skaro system.

The sixth Doctor and Peri arrived on Skaro. While the Daleks were occupied with the asteroid (which the Doctor had sent their way), the Doctor infected the Dalek computers with a virus, then kidnapped Davros in the TARDIS. The Daleks vowed revenge.

A year later, the Daleks tricked Abslom Daak into bringing the seventh Doctor to Skaro (along with the other Star Tigers and Benny, from the mid-twenty-sixth century), Daak fought a pitched battle with the Daleks, but he and his allies were subdued. The Daleks demanded that the Doctor take them to Davros, and used a Psyche Dalek to place the others in a hypnotic trance.

A Dalek battle fleet under the command of the Black Dalek was dispatched to Spiridon, where they were met by Davros and an army of four million white-and-gold upgraded Daleks. The Psyche Dalek was destroyed, and the Doctor’s friends were released from hypnotic control. Routed, the Black Dalek withdrew his forces and ordered the orbiting fleet to destroy Davros - but the energy was reflected back and destroyed all but one ship, which was also blown up.

Davros had won the battle, and had
not -
as he had promised the Doctor - given his upgraded Daleks a conscience. Davros’ fleet set course for Skaro, planning to reactivate the Doctor’s computer virus and seize control. Davros’ forces landed, and he watched as the former Emperor was exterminated. However, Daak sliced through Davros with his chainsword before being forced to withdraw by the other Star Tigers. A nuclear blast devastated the Dalek city, and finally destroyed Taiyin’s body.

Davros had a new survival chair built only four days after his arrival, but a bitter civil war was underway between the Dalek factions.
Davros was now Emperor of the Daleks.
 [1340]
The Thals had relocated from Skaro by this point, and the Daleks did not normally enter their region of space, which included Spiridon.

Abel Gantz revived the lost science of alchemy when he discovered paracelsium, a catalyst that could transmute metals.
 [1341]

c 4635 - “Kane’s Story” / “Abel’s Story” / “Warrior’s Story” / “Frobisher’s Story”
 [1342]

Skeletoids invaded outposts on Vega and Sigma IV, meaning they were only weeks from the Sol system. The Skeletoids were armoured humans from the Vespin system, but their armour had gradually become so sophisticated, the humans inside had become redundant components. They swept through five systems in a year - either converting any humanoids they conquered, or wiping out races they couldn’t convert (such as the Daleks and Cybermen). The Skeletoids were now at the gates of the Planetary Federation. The Draconians were their next targets, and the powers of the galaxy arranged a summit on Ankara III.

The sixth Doctor, Frobisher and Peri learned of the threat and headed for Xaos, the oldest planet in the galaxy - as did Abel Gantz, the Draconian Emperor’s bodyguard Kaon (who the Doctor and Frobisher had met some years from now), and Kane Borg of Kaltarr. They were the champions of six worlds, and they travelled in the TARDIS to the Vespin system to take the fight to the Skeletoids. Abel sacrificed himself, destroying the Skeletoid command centre. The menace to the galaxy ended, and the Doctor and the surviving champions arrived at the galactic summit to tell the delegates they’d had a wasted trip.

c 4650 - The Story of Martha: “The Weeping”
 [1343]

Agelaos had become an icy planet following the failure of its terraforming. The last of the colonists, Waechter, had guarded the quarantine there and lived for centuries thanks to a slowed metabolism. Waechter found that he would die if ever he left Agelaos, and the tenth Doctor and Martha helped him to attain his last wish: that he be mutated into a creature like his fellow colonists, so he would never be alone.

? 4663 - Remembrance of the Daleks
 [1344]

Upon returning to Skaro, Davros usurped control from the Supreme Dalek and declared himself an Emperor Dalek. With his body now wasted, Davros was reduced to little more than a disembodied head. He fashioned a new casing for himself. Most Daleks supported Davros, who genetically re-engineered the race and oversaw a complete revamp of Dalek technology. These “Imperial Daleks” were given new cream and gold livery, improved weapons, sensor plates and eyestalks. As always, some Daleks dissented: this “Renegade Dalek” faction followed the Black Dalek and fled Skaro using a Time Controller.

Both factions had learned of the Hand of Omega, a powerful Gallifreyan device that could manipulate stars. They converged to its location on Earth in 1963. Davros acquired the Hand, but was unable to control the device. On the seventh Doctor’s instructions, the Hand travelled to Skaro in Davros’ native time and made its sun go supernova, obliterating the planet. Davros escaped, but his flagship was obliterated and the Dalek homeworld was
seemingly
destroyed.

(=) In 4688, Chiyoko, the “child of time”, transported a Vorlax Regeneration Drone from the war planet Grakktar back to 2011.
 [1345]

& 4693 - War of the Daleks
 [1346]

The Daleks had invaded Earth “several times” by this point.

The garbage ship
Quetzel
recovered both the eighth Doctor’s TARDIS and Davros’ escape pod. Thals raided the ship, and Delani, the Thal commander, asked Davros to reengineer his race to defeat the Daleks. Davros’ reactivation alerted the Daleks, and the Doctor, Sam and Davros were taken to Skaro... which the Doctor had thought destroyed. The Dalek Prime explained that the Daleks had learned of Skaro’s destruction beforehand and plotted to prevent it.

The Daleks had previously taken the dormant Davros from Skaro, and placed him in ruins on Antalin, which were designed to look like Skaro. The planet was then bathed in radioactivity. The Daleks then faked the Movellan War using their own robot servants, fooling Davros into believing they needed his help, but Davros escaped and triggered a civil war. He took the Hand of Omega, which destroyed
Antalin
rather than Skaro. The Daleks’ real homeworld survived.

Now, the Dalek Prime planned to draw the Daleks who supported Davros out into the open and destroy them. The Doctor made a seemingly easy escape in the Thal ship - then discovered a Dalek factory in the hold. He jettisoned it back in time, where it crashed on Vulcan.

Daleks loyal to Davros attempted to rescue him, but the Dalek Prime’s forces prevailed. Davros was placed in a dispersion chamber and seemingly vaporized, but the Dalek implementing Davros’ execution was one of his followers, and it was possible that Davros survived...

The Dalek Prime was later lost to the Time Vortex, owing to the intervention of four incarnations of the Doctor in the Daleks’ war with the Jariden, a race of biomechanoids.
 [1347]
The eighth Doctor ventured into a library and came to accept a worker there, Samson Griffin, and his sister Gemma aboard the TARDIS. They shared many adventures together, but eventually were overpowered by Davros - who desired to strip the Doctor of everything he held dear, and so erased his memories of his two companions. Davros mentally conditioned Samson and Gemma to accompany him back to Earth, then embarked on a scheme to turn it into a new Dalek homeworld. Samson was allowed to live with his mother, Harriet Griffen, in Folkestone.
