== Worldbuilding ==
* On Skaro, Thals and Kaleds were locked in a war that had raged for generations.
* Davros was a Kaled scientist who created the Daleks as a way for his race to survive. But Davros worked without conscience, without soul, without pity and his machines were equally devoid of these qualities.
* The Daleks left Skaro long ago. At times they have been commanded by Davros. He has been their lackey and their leader. A loving father and a vengeful god.
* Davros's chair is equipped with life-support systems that activate when he is under attack.
* Davros has an artificial hand that can direct deadly energy bolts.
* The Doctor returned to Skaro and met Davros, encountering the Kaled when he was still a young child. The Doctor emphasized the importance of mercy. It is possible that this intervention persuaded Davros to imbue the Daleks with this quality.
