New Dalek Empire The New Dalek Empire was founded by Davros in the aftermath of the Last Great Time War , which had destroyed the original Dalek Empire . Davros apparently lost control of this New Empire , which fell under the reign of the Supreme One . Overview . The New Dalek Empire was very different from the prior Dalek force that was reconstituted by the Dalek Emperor after the Time War . The prior force was full of insane hybrids . ( TV : " The Parting of the Ways " ) The New Dalek Empire , however , was dramatically larger , and quite capable of combating even Time Lord technology : they could capture and disable a TARDIS . Their forces consisted of hundreds of starships with enough power to devastate the universe . Their central base of operations was the Crucible , on which the Daleks planned to reside on when the reality bomb destroyed the universe . ( TV : " Journey ' s End " ) First attempts . The New Dalek Empire was to be the new Empire of the Daleks that the Cult of Skaro had planned to create . The very first attempt was on planet Earth with the Genesis Ark , to unlock it and unleash the Daleks within , which the Doctor thwarted . ( TV : " Doomsday " ) Time travelling from London in 2007 to New York City in 1930 , the Cult , now the last four Dalek s in existence , attempted to conquer Earth and recreate the Dalek Empire . This attempt , even with the help of the Final Experiment ( which included use of Pig slave s and human - Dalek hybrids ) failed due to the interference of the Tenth Doctor . At the end , Dalek Caan was the last surviving Dalek in all of creation . ( TV : " Daleks in Manhattan " / " Evolution of the Daleks " ) New Empire . Caan activated an emergency temporal shift to escape the Doctor ( TV : " Evolution of the Daleks " ) , and ended up at the Gates of Elysium during the Last Great Time War . Travelling into a time - locked era ruined his mind , but he helped to save Davros from his death . Davros , like the Dalek Emperor who also survived the Time War by time travel , rebuilt the Dalek Fleet of two hundred ships , but with millions of Daleks instead of just thousands — unlike the Emperor , Davros rebuilt the Daleks out of his own Kaled cells . Caan was left as a sort of prophet , and a new Supreme Dalek was created to oversee the Dalek forces . As a result of his actions Davros regarded Caan with immense respect and defended him against anybody who criticised him such as the Supreme Dalek . ( TV : " The Stolen Earth " ) However , no one knew that Caan was secretly plotting against them , having now realised the truth of the Daleks following his temporal shift into the Time War . ( TV : " Journey ' s End " ) In 2009 , the Daleks transported 27 planets into the Medusa Cascade from various times and places ( mostly the present , but from other eras as well ) . The new Daleks then took control over the planets in the Cascade . In their attack on Earth , they took many human s aboard their ships , and wiped out any resistance that they met . Everything was placed one second out of sync with the rest of the universe to hide it from those who might stop them , such as the Tenth Doctor . ( TV : " The Stolen Earth " ) The new Empire planned to use the 27 planets in conjunction with the Crucible ' s energy source to power a reality bomb created by Davros who intend to make the destruction of all existence and allow the Daleks to be the sole inhabitants and masters of the universe . The Supreme Dalek made an arrangement with Davros ; the creator of the Daleks would ensure their domination of the universe if they allowed him to live . The plan failed by the interference of DoctorDonna , who closed off all of the Z - Neutrino energy relay loops of the reality bomb by using an internalised synchronous back - feed reversal loop , locked the Daleks ' weaponry in a self - replicating energy blindfold matrix through macrotransmission of a K - filter wavelength and interfered with the Daleks ' systems with a trip stitch circuit - breaker in the psycho - kinetic threshold manipulator . The Meta - Crisis Tenth Doctor destroyed the fleet and the Crucible by maximising the Dalekanium power feeds and blasting them back . ( TV : " Journey ' s End " ) By unknown means , Davros escaped the destruction of the Crucible , and returned to Skaro . His next encounter with the Doctor would be with his twelfth incarnation , over 1000 years later from the Doctor ' s perspective . ( TV : " The Magician ' s Apprentice " ) Legacy . Rusty , a New Paradigm Dalek , observed visions of the New Dalek Empire ' s attack on the " Valiant " , and the Empire ' s destruction , when he saw into the mind of the Twelfth Doctor . In doing so , he felt the Doctor ' s hatred for the Daleks , and turned against his own kind , massacring the Dalek boarding party aboard the " Aristotle " . ( TV : " Into the Dalek " )
