Dalek Emperor ( The Parting of the Ways ) During the Last Great Time War , a Dalek Emperor resided in Kaalann on Skaro . ( GAME : " City of the Daleks " ) He formed the Cult of Skaro , a group above and beyond the Emperor himself , created to " think as the enemy thinks " and " imagine " new ways to find victory . ( TV : " Doomsday " ) The Emperor took control of the Cruciform . ( TV : " The Sound of Drums " ) Towards the end of the War , the Emperor oversaw the creation of the Eternity Circle , and was present when they created the Temporal Cannon to use against the Time Lord s . ( PROSE : " Engines of War " ) When Skaro was devastated , the Emperor was thought to have been killed . ( GAME : " City of the Daleks " ) The Dalek Emperor was aboard its saucer flagship when all thirteen incarnations of the Doctor moved Gallifrey to a pocket universe on the last day of the Time War , the assembled Dalek Fleet ended up firing on itself through the space Gallifrey once occupied ( an event which was presumed to have been the activation of the Moment ) ( TV : " The Day of the Doctor " ) ; as such , the Emperor was believed to have died with the rest of its species , but this was mistaken . ( TV : " The Parting of the Ways " ) The Emperor ' s lone ship barely survived the Time War , falling through time in a heavily damaged state . The nine - metre tall Emperor ' s new casing had the appearance of its Kaled mutant revealed floating in a transparent tank of liquid , topped by a giant - sized Dalek dome , complete with eyestalk , flanked by panels of armour dotted by Dalek " bumps " with a ring - shaped " throne " on the bottom . It went into seclusion at the edge of the solar system " damaged but rebuilding " during the Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire . Circa 199 , 909 , it secretly installed the Jagrafess aboard Satellite Five to play the " long game " of slowly manipulating human s and re - establishing the Dalek species and fleet . A hundred years after the Jagrafess was killed , in the year 200 , 100 , the Emperor was still using Satellite Five ( now renamed the " Game Station " ) to manipulate humanity and conceal his fleet . ( TV : " Bad Wolf " ) The Emperor secretly used transmat technology aboard the space station to kidnap humans for nearly two hundred years . The kidnapped humans were harvested for their genetic material , and " one cell in a billion " was used to rebuild a new race of Daleks ( TV : " The Parting of the Ways " ) numbering roughly half a million aboard a fleet of 200 ships . ( TV : " Bad Wolf " ) Because the Emperor had recreated the Dalek race , it saw itself as a god and immortal and so was worshipped by the new Daleks . These and other religious concepts such as blasphemy were new to Dalek psychology . ( TV : " The Parting of the Ways " ) The Emperor ' s pawn aboard Satellite Five , the Controller , hated her masters and transmat ted the Ninth Doctor aboard the Game Station to help defeat them . ( TV : " Bad Wolf " ) When he encountered the Emperor and his new religiously fanatical Daleks , the Doctor surmised that they were driven insane both because they isolated themselves for so long , but also because they were in denial of the fact that they were part human . The Daleks killed almost everyone aboard Satellite Five , and they attacked Earth , bombing millions of people , to transform it into the Emperor ' s " temple " . Shortly afterwards , the Doctor turned down his chance to use an uncalibrated delta wave to destroy all nearby life , human and Dalek alike . The Emperor thought he was victorious , but he and his entire fleet were atomised by Rose Tyler after she had absorbed the energies of the time vortex and became the Bad Wolf temporal paradox . ( TV : " The Parting of the Ways " ) Post - mortem . While competing with Sarah Jane Smith over their adventures with the Doctor , Rose Tyler one - upped her when she said she faced Daleks by noting that she " met the Emperor " . ( TV : " School Reunion " ) Rose would later gloat over her destruction of the Emperor which she revealed in her confrontation with Dalek Sec , enraging him to the point that he was only stopped short of exterminating her by the arrival of the Tenth Doctor . ( TV : " Doomsday " ) This Emperor ' s casing on Skaro was used by the New Dalek Paradigm to create a new Dalek Emperor who resembled his predessor . ( GAME : " City of the Daleks " )
