Dalek Civil War

The Dalek Civil War was a war between two factions of Daleks, Imperial Daleks, loyal to the Dalek Emperor, and Renegade Daleks, who follow a Supreme Dalek instead.

The Dalek Civil War is often confused with another earlier internal conflict within the Dalek Empire, which started when the Doctor implanted some Daleks with 'the human factor' and caused them to revolt.

The true Dalek Civil War began long after the Daleks recovered their creator Davros, who had been thought long-dead. Davros was intent on creating a new race of Daleks loyal entirely to him, which eventually led to the Supreme Dalek taking command of Dalek forces and expelling Davros from the Empire, but the crafty Davros would simply create his own Empire, ironically named the Imperial Dalek Faction. Though they shared similar ideologies, the minute physical differences between the factions mean that they see each other as two different species, causing a long and bitter war.

There were many tactics employed by both sides to win the war, and one of these tactics was the Imperial Special Weapons Dalek, an 'Abomination' that uses dangerous heavy weapons to annihilate Renegade Daleks on the spot.

The two factions of Daleks fought each other for many years, devastating their homeworld of Skaro and any other worlds they fought over. Any races caught in the crossfire were destroyed completely. There was Galactic outcry, but no-one wanted to interfere with the war for fear of being destroyed. Even the League Military opted to remain neutral, because there was no way they could decide who to side with. And even if they did side with one, the losses they would face fighting against the other seemed pointless for a conflict that was too similar to petty in-fighting (which the League Military remains strictly neautral in). Not only that, the League was concentrating on the Rachni Wars at this time.

The war stretched on and on, getting worse and worse with every conflict. As planet after planet fell, Galactic citizens began to wonder if there was any end to the carnage. Some thought it was a a massive Dalek scheme, an excuse to destroy everything in existence. Eventually the war reached the Human homeworld of Earth.



Both factions came to Earth looking for the Hand of Omega, a Time Lord weapon designed to engineer stars. Neither side managed to get it however, as the Doctor reached it first. He reprogrammed the Hand to turn against the Daleks, and it destroyed them all and burnt their homeworld to a cinder. The remains of the Dalek Empire regrouped and turned their attention towards the Time Lords, and began the Time War.

To this day, no-one knows who won the war, or if it is over at all. But for the citizens of the Galaxy, the worst is definitely over. As of 2021, Daleks were sighted battling each other in various high-profile tourists destinations across the UK, though this was later revealed to be a mutant Dalek army emerging on Earth who were later destroyed by a Death Squad sent by the Reformed Dalek Empire.
