Renegade Dalek The Renegade Daleks were a faction of Dalek s opposed to Davros and his faction of Imperial Dalek s during the Imperial - Renegade Dalek Civil War . The Renegade Daleks remained loyal to the Black Supreme Dalek , based on the planet Skaro ( TV : " Revelation of the Daleks " ) which the Imperials would later take over . ( COMIC : " Emperor of the Daleks " , TV : " Remembrance of the Daleks " ) Appearance . In stark contrast to the radical white - and - gold livery of the Imperials , the Renegade Dalek wore more traditional grey - and - black casings - albeit in a lighter shade of grey , with narrower skirt sections and a white band running underneath the midsection slats . As well as fighting the Imperials for political reasons , the Renegades loathed the Imperials because , like the Imperials , they adhered to a xenophobic and racist ideology . Davros had altered his Daleks , physically fusing them into their shells and giving the mutants themselves bionics . The Renegades found this unacceptable and believed themselves superior which was proved when — despite being outnumbered — they defeated Imperial Daleks with ease during the battle at Foreman ' s yard , forcing the Imperials to call reinforcements in the form of the Special Weapons Dalek to swing the tide of the battle . ( TV : " Remembrance of the Daleks " ) While the Imperial Daleks could hover and fly , the Renegades could only hover a short distance off the ground . ( COMIC : " Emperor of the Daleks " ) While the Imperials utilised time corridor technology for travelling through time , the Renegades used a compact Time Controller device . The Renegade faction also utilised a mental link that slaved a young , imaginative mind to both the Dalek battle computer and the Black Dalek . ( TV : " Remembrance of the Daleks " ) The Special Weapons Dalek originally belonged to the Renegades , but later changed sides to the Imperials . ( COMIC : " Emperor of the Daleks " ) The Renegades later created their own version of the special weapons Dalek . ( PROSE : " War of the Daleks " ) History . The so - called " Renegade " Daleks were formed between the events that transpired on Necros ( TV : " Revelation of the Daleks " ) and the events in Shoreditch ( TV : " Remembrance of the Daleks " ) , but the war may have begun with the events of Davros ' cryogenic revival . The Supreme Dalek ordered the destruction of Davros and the Daleks that serve him , and him with it , sparking a rivalry between Davros and the Daleks . ( TV : " Resurrection of the Daleks " ) A Renegade Dalek ship with 3 Renegades defeated the Prototype Imperial Daleks on Necros and took Davros back to Skaro to stand trial . ( TV : " Revelation of the Daleks " ) En route to Skaro , the ship carrying Davros crashed on the planet Lethe . Davros was rescued . He set himself up as " Professor Vaso " , altering the perceptions of the humans on the colony so they would not recognise him as the " Great Healer " . He attempted to create a new machine , a Juggernaut based on a Mechanoid design . Lethe ' s atmosphere prevented the Supreme Dalek retrieving Davros directly , but its forces intercepted the Sixth Doctor ' s TARDIS , forcing him to serve as an agent of the Daleks and stop Davros ' researches and manipulations . The Doctor discovered two of Davros ' Necros Daleks had survived the crash , but were destroyed following Davros ' final gambit on the colony and the Supreme Dalek ' s intervention . ( AUDIO : " The Juggernauts " ) The Renegades had declared war on the Imperial Daleks who were led by Davros , posing as a Dalek Emperor . Despite their greater battle experience , the Renegades appeared to be losing the war ; they had been driven off Skaro , which the Imperials had completely occupied . Learning that the Hand of Omega was hidden on 20th century Earth , the Renegades and Imperials travelled back through time to 1963 , each seeking to claim the Hand for their own . Having discovered that the Imperials had established a Transmat device in the basement of Coal Hill School , Shoreditch , the Supreme Dalek captured and brainwashed a young girl , using her both as the main component of the Renegades ' battle computer , and as an " inside agent " at the school . During this time , one of the Renegades came into conflict with a human military group , which in turn drew the attention of the Seventh Doctor , who helped them to destroy it . The Renegades had already made contact with some members of " The Association " , and formed an alliance with them , due to their mutual ideas of fascism , and falsely promising to help them " cleanse " Britain of foreigners in return for their assistance . Through the girl , the Renegade Daleks had managed to locate the Hand of Omega and bring it back to their base . The Imperial Daleks followed , and attacked the Renegades . During the battle , the Renegades ' human allies , learning that they had been deceived , stole the Time Controller and fled , followed by the girl . The Supreme Dalek was the only member of the Renegades to survive the battle , but , upon learning from the Doctor that Skaro had been destroyed , initiated its self - destruct mechanism , at the same time releasing the girl from its control . ( TV : " Remembrance of the Daleks " ) The Renegades survived this battle and began calling themselves Imperials . They were based on Skaro , with their leader , the Dalek Prime , claiming that the planet the Doctor had destroyed was actually Antalin . A civil war broke out within the Dalek ranks , and the last renegades were apparently wiped out , although at least one may have survived . ( PROSE : " War of the Daleks " ) Some Renegade Daleks survived and were classed as insane and taken to the Dalek Asylum . The insane Daleks died when the asylum was destroyed by the Parliament of the Daleks . ( TV : " Asylum of the Daleks " ) One Renegade Dalek ended up on Skaro , where its mission was to protect Davros until his death . ( TV : " The Magician ' s Apprentice " ) This Dalek ( with the other Daleks ) was destroyed by the rejuvenated Daleks in the sewers . ( TV : " The Witch ' s Familiar " ) Alternate Universe . In one timeline , the original Daleks simply abandoned Skaro and Davros rather than try to kill him . These Daleks , which went on to carve out an interstellar empire , these were called Renegade Daleks by Davros . ( AUDIO : " Masters of War " ) Behind the scenes . Renegade Daleks are absent in " The Curse of Davros "
