Magnetrap

Magnetraps were devices used by the Daleks.
== Functions ==
Magnetraps could pull spacecraft down to a planet with magnetic attraction exerted by the spotlight-like devices on the four corners of the landing pad. A ship could be brought down so gently that a sleeping crew would not wake before the ship was boarded.
== History ==
On Skaro, the Daleks used a magnetrap in an attempt to capture 2K, but he used a drill in his head to escape underground. (COMIC: Impasse)
The Daleks later used a magnetrap to capture Kirid's spacecraft. (COMIC: The Emissaries of Jevo)
On Gurnian, the Daleks used a magnetrap to capture the craft transporting Mary Stone and Andy Stone. (COMIC: Monsters of Gurnian)
On Earth, the Daleks used a magnetrap to capture the saucer Lucie Miller and Alex Campbell were using to carry their doomsday bomb. Alex tricked the Daleks into destroying the magnetrap controls at the cost of his own life. (AUDIO: To the Death)
== Behind the scenes ==
