THE HISTORY OF THE DALEKS

NOTE:  If you can read this line of text then the black back ground to this page didn't load.  95% of the text is colored so don't worry about it t. oo much The stuff in white is all Fan Speculation and stuff from the Benny Novels.  You can read the white text by "selecting it" with your mouse.  I'll try to get this problem fixed.

'might'        The event was revealed under highly suspicious circumstances.  There's at least a 50% chance the entry is completely false.
?                  The event occurred approximately in this interval.
??               A pretty wild guess as to when this event took place. 



--                            Three of the Guardians of this Universe (later known as the Gods of Ragnarok) caused the end of the previous Universe in a war involving the previous Key to Time and the previous Daleks.  The Old Time Lords of the previous universe shunt themselves into a parallel universe (with a slightly longer lifespan) to escape this destruction. They become the Great Old Ones. 

13,500,017,903 BC     (pretty close to exactly 10,000,000 years before the Qqaba mission / at least 3 or 4 cycles after the Shub-Niggurath appear existence)
                Event 0
- A massive Timestation
journeys back to the beginning of Time.  Due to instabilities a massive Timestation ejects its fuel from one of its engines.  This ejected fuel is a condensed monoblock of matter that detonates when another timeship,named the Vipod Mor, materializes at its center creating the Big Bang. 

5,000,000,000 BC      (5 billion years before 4663 AD)
                Skaro's sun ignites.

5,000,000,000 BC      The Sol system's sun ignites.

3,500,000,000 BC     The Era of the Time Lords.  Gallifreyan Mythology has lots to say about the Daleks and the Klade.

??                (over 80 years before A Dalek Problem is published)
                  
Chief of Multihistorical Research for the CIA, Professor Qualenawitvanastech begins researching the Daleks.

??                (after Genesis of the Daleks from the Dalek's POV) 
                    The Dalek Problem: A Symposium
is published by the Chief of Multihistorical Research for the CIA, Professor Qualenawitvanastech.

??            An Alternative History of Skaro: The Daleks without Davros is written by a Time Lord.

300,000,000 BC??      (when Saturn's rings were formed)
                    Dalek time travelers set up a colony in the planet Saturn in the Sol System to mine ammonia.

100,700,000 BC          (100,000,000 years before the first sentient Skarosian appears)
                   The Beginning: Two of the Outer Galaxies (beyond Andromeda) collide forming the 7th Galaxy
(probably the Maffei-1 Galaxy).  From this cosmic explosion gasses solidify to form the planet Skaro. 

92,700,000 BC          (8,000,000 years after the two galaxies collide)
                   The Siletarian Age begins on Skaro.  The first forms of life appears.  A red lichen quickly spreads to cover the entire planet.

80,700,000 BC           (20,000,000 years after the two galaxies collide)
                   The Planistavian Age begins on Skaro.  At this point the planet is mostly swamps and jungles.  Starting as one celled organisims animal life evolves untill the first snake-like creature capable of breathing air leaves the ocean. 

40,700,000 BC       (60,000,000 years after the two galaxies collide)
                    The Thalistunian Age (aka Age of the Monsters) on Skaro.  Numerous giant reptiles roamed the planet battling for dominance in the jungles. 

6,000,000 BC          (3,500,000,000~ Local Dateline)
                    Tellurians (Humans) evolve on Sol III.  Human beings are one of the few races in the Universe which has an instinctive understanding of time travel.  Because of this the Time Lords fear the Tellurians.


1,101,000 BC              (1,097,328 years before Genesis of the Daleks)
                   
The first hominids appear on Skaro.

736,000 BC        (240,000 years before historical records could have been made
/ 100,000,000 years after the two galaxies collide)
               
The Sparasunian Age on Skaro begins.  The great reptiles die off.  The Halldons relocate the humans from Earth to the planet Skaro (called Ameron by the Halldons).  They modified the humans so that their evolution would be accellerated.  They also apparently change their blood color from red to green.   These are the first sentient Skarosians appear on Skaro.

736,000 BC??           
                The Crystal of Kronos is hidden on millions of worlds - including Skaro. 


736,300 BC         (a few centuries after gaining sentience)
                The Skarosians destroy their Halldon overseers.


548,000 BC                 (before any recorded history / during the Skaroisian Stone Age)

               
A great shift in Skaro's crust occurs causing planet wide devastation.  Many tribes of Skarosians are killed.  A group of people known as the Dals rebel against the Thal tribal policies.  Outnumbered and outvoted they break off from the Thal Tribes in the west and cross the newly formed Drammankin Range to settled on the east side of the continent.  In the future both groups will tell stories of the Great Disaster and the casting out of the evil ones by the gods.  Both Thal and Dal translate as "Choosen Ones."

496,000 BC~  (50,000 TL)
                The Dals cease their nomadic life styles and become farmers.
            

496,000 BC~                 (500,000 years before The Daleks)
                The Thals begin keeping historical records that they will maintain for at least the next 500,000 years.  At this point the Thals were a warrior race, while the Dals were
teachers and philosophers.  Skaro is a beautiful world. 

484,000 BC     (12000 years after the Dals become Farmers)
              The Thals discover agriculture. 

28,703 BC      (42005 TL)

                Daleks from the year 3805 AD use a time corridor to vist the planet Bav in the Marli system of the Milky Way.  They attempt to convert the local Ka into Daleks.  They exterminate the CIA Investigator Lord Drasilinilevitaz.  The Daleks realise that the Ka Daleks will renegade and destroy the Imperial Dalek Faction in the future.  The attempt to destroy the planet but Time Lady Loribetcazistanopiliain of the CIA stops them and removes the all the Dalek technology from Bav.

9,300 BC      (about 5300 years before Gensis of the Daleks)
                Permanent towns and cities begin to emerge on Skaro.  Both the Dals and the Thals begin exploring the sea. 

??            The Kaled god of War has horns. 

5250-4250 BC    The two races develop for 1000 years.   Skaro is filled with ideas, art and innovation. 

5028 BC       (1028 years before the War)
                The Thals and Dals reencounter each other.  The two races are quite hostile towards each other.  Many Thals cross the mountains and settle in Dal territory. 


??            The Thals offer the Dals the chance to rejoin their civilization but only if they accept that their acts of rebellion were wrong

??                  (after the Thal history records begin / 1000 years before the War begins?)

                As a statement of superiority the Dals rename themselves Kaleds.

??            The Kaleds construct a reseach center to develop nuclear weapons. 
This facility also houses the Kaled Goverment.

??            In response to the Kaleds' construction of a research center for their government the Thals build their own facility (unknowingly) 4 miles away on the opposite side of the
Drammankin Range.

4250 BC     (the beginning of the War / 250 years before Genesis of the Daleks)
                The Age of Unreason: When Kaled Security catches a Thal spying on the military research they obtain and film a confession.  The release of this confession begins the War.  Both sides launch their neutron bombs at the opposing forces.  In the first day of the war all the cities of both sides are destroyed and vast forests are petrified.  This is Year 0 in the New Skaro Calender.

4250 BC     The few surviving Kaleds and Thals retreat to their research centers and build protective domes over them.  These domes are resistant to conventional nuclear attack.   The war continues.  After both sides have exhausted their nuclear and atomic arsenal they revert to more conventional weapons like tanks, projectile weapons, and poison gas.  

4248-4150 BC      (The first century after the beginning of the War)
                    The chemical and biological weapons used create a new subspecies called Mutos.  These genetically damaged humanoids are banished to the wastelands. 

4250-4000 BC            
                Without any infastructure to support them both the Thals and the Kaleds find themselves using increasingly primitive technology as consumables are exhausted and hardware succumbs to wear and tear. 
Elite Thal units continue to use beam weapons.  Kaled politicians name the war the Thousand Year War (despite the fact that it has only lasted a few centuries).  By this point the Kaled race subsists only on food pills.  These pills are manufactured (in part) from dead Kaleds.  By this point most Kaleds don't know what started the War. 

4050 BC     (50 years before Genesis of the Daleks / a long time after the War started)
                 The Kaled leadership have a research center constructed where the
Scientific Elite Corp can work on the war effort without fear of spies.  To ensure security the Kaleds build the bunker some distance to the north of the Kaled Dome.  The Kaled biologist Davros becomes a member of the Scientific Elite.  Davros and the other Scientific Elite are moved here.   Davros first job with the Elite is using his knowledge of cybernetics to design safe ways of handling nuclear material during bomb construction.  He uses his spare time to study the effects of radiation on living tissue. 

??              (after becoming a member of the Elite)
                 The Davros becomes known as the foremost intellect of the millennium. 
His specialties are cybernetics, microsurgery, and genetic engineering.  Davros is made Supreme Commander of the Special Scientific Division.  Under Davros's guidance the Scientific Elite Corp makes numerous scientific breakthroughs. 

??            Using Skaroine electroscopes
Davros determines that it is impossible for intelligent life to exist in the surrounding seven Galaxies.


??            Davros begins experimenting with augmenting the intelligence and altering the behavior of various types of aquatic creatures. 

??            Davros beings experimenting with ruby based laser technology. 

??            Davros meets with the Elite Scientist named Shan.  Shan has written a paper titled The Dalek Solution.
  This paper reveals that Shan has discovered that the mutations induced in the Kaled people by the radiation wasn't entirely random.  She predicts that within 200 years the Kaled people will have reached a new genetically stable form.  These Kaled Mutants would be small clawed creatures which would in fact be dependent on the harsh radiation that poisoned all of Skaro to survive.  Shan believes that the only way that the Kaled people will be able to survive on Skaro in the coming years is if they recreate their race in the form that they Skarosian species will eventually evolve into.  Shan names this theoretical lifeform the Daleks (an anagram of Kaleds).

??        (before Davros's accident)
               
Davros presents parts of Shan's paper to the Kaled Leadership Council.  He claims that these were his own discoveries.

??        (before Davros accident)
                Upon learning that Shan is having a relationship with a member of the Kaled Council named Councillor Valron, Davros has Shan framed for treason and executed.  Davros tells himself that she was going to betray him to ensure her place in Kaled History as justification.

4034 BC   (before the war / at least 25 years after the war begins / 34 years before Genesis of the Daleks)
                A Thal spy penetrates the Kaled Research Facility and learns of Davros' discoveries.  The spy alerts the Kaleds to the location of the research center and the Thals bomb it with a nuclear shell.  The shell impacts during one of Davros' experiments causing an explosion that irradiates more than 50 of the Kaled's finest scientists.  Davros loses his eyes, left arm, and both legs.  He suffers severe damge to his chest and skull.   Thanks to Davros' breakthroughs in fields of cybernetics Davros and five other scientists survive. 


4034 BC?    (shortly after the explosion)
                Within 4 months of awakening the first 5 surviving scientists die.  The Kaled Psy-techs predict that there is an 86% probability that Davros will commit suicide when he awakens.  When Davros awakens he views his shattered body for some time before deciding that his physical body is unimportant next to the brilliance of his mind. 
Secretly Davros decides that the Kaled government was (directly or indirectly) responsible for for his injuries.  He decides that the Kaled race must be reborn in the Dalek form.  He promises the Kaled Leadership victory over the Thals if they give him the scientific resources he needs. 


4031 BC       (3 years after the explosion)
                Davros has a Mark I Mobility Unit designed that allows him limited mobility and self sufficiency.  This Mobility Unit is connected to his mind allowing him to control many of its functions by thought alone.  With a special security force assigned to him Davros returns to his scientific studies.  Davros begins studying the effects of radiation and mutations on living beings.  He charts the genetic drift for several mutated animals and begins collecting mutated Kaleds to perform experiments on. 
 

??                (after the explosion)
                   By this point neither the Kaleds or Thals have any functioning aircraft.


4002 BC?    Working in the remains of the old Kaled Capital City Davros created the Mark II Travel Machine for the Dalek lifeform.   The Mark II Machine was powered by static electricity that was drawn from charged metal floors. 

4000 BC?    Davros uses mutated embryos to create several Dalek mutants.  He then uses chemical agents and micro-surgery to change the mutant's genetic makeup by introducing chromosomal variations.  This prevents them from experiencing compassion, and love (unknown to Davros these changes also prevent the Daleks from experiancing pity and mercy).  The sense of morality and conscience was removed.  He programed them to have total loyalty to the Dalek Species, and to view all other species (including the humanoid Skarosians) as inferior.  They have a strong instinct to destroy all alien lifeforms.  They have been conditioned to survive at all costs and programmed to believe that survival can best be achieved by becoming the dominant species in the Universe.  They are designed to be the Supreme Victor in the "universal war."  Davros views the Daleks as the supreme species and the ultimate conqueror of the Universe.

??               (possibly before coating the Kaled Dome)
                    Davros invents Dalekanium armor. 

4000 BC?    (months before Genesis of the Daleks)
                    Davros reinforces the Kaled dome with a new material that will protect it from all rocket attacks. 


Ferain and a Dalek

4000 BC     (250 years after the start of the War)
                Genesis of the Daleks: The Time Team
of Matricians (led by Recorder Jelpax) predict that the Daleks will become the Enemy that will threaten the Time Lords in a massive Time War.  If the Daleks defeat the Time Lords then they will destroy all other sentient life forms in the Universe.  The Time Lords violate their deal with the Daleks by declaring Time War on them.  The Deliavatsud Intervention is commissioned by the CIA and Ferain sends the Doctor to Skaro to stop them from ever being created. 
                 
Davros perfects the Mark III travel machine known as a Dalek.  The first 20 Daleks become fully operational.  Because of the Doctor's interferance the Dalek brain modifications that Davros planned are never completed.  Instead these Daleks are controled by an on board computer program.  The First of these 20 has a minor mutation that allows it to realize that with the current programming that Daleks will exterminate all other life in the universe.  They will also be incapable of choosing a leader because all Daleks will be viewed as equal.  The First Dalek alters the programing in the embryos that are still developing to ensure that they will view him as their leader.  He also programs them with a desire to enslave (rather then exterminate) lesser lifeforms.  Davros betrays his people and the Kaled people are exterminated by a huge Distronic explosion.  The Daleks rebel against Davros and are entombed by the Thals. Unknown to the Daleks, Davros's secondary and backup circuits keep him alive and in long term suspension, while synthetic tissue regeneration takes place.
                 The results of the Doctor's intervention registers as a 4.6 on the Rassilon Scale of time distortion
and considerably weaken the Dalek Empire in the future by setting their development back by about 1000 years.  This is the first time the Doctor changes established history (in a major way).  The High Council begins greatly restricting the CIA's autonomy because of the failure of this incident, and Deliavastud is executed (probably in the Obliuett). 


Genesis of the Daleks Incident
        The entire Dalek history is altered by the Doctor (working for the CIA).  In the original timeline Davros used the Daleks to destroy most of the Thals.  Afterwards the Daleks renegaded and destroyed Davros and all of the Kaleds.  After being warned of the ruthlessness of the Daleks by the Doctor, Davros installs a backup system in his Mobility Unit to protect him from the Daleks weapons.  Thus, in the new version of events, Davros survives.  This sets Dalek development back 1000 years
but unknown to the Time Lords (due to the events of War of the Daleks) the intervention doesn't prevents the Daleks from becoming the Enemy of the Time Lords.  Infact it will be this action that the Daleks will reguard as the first action in the Time War.  The CIA had hoped that millions of worlds would be saved from the Daleks but the planets saved only numbered in the thousands.  In the original version of the Web of Time the Daleks were involved in the following situations:

The Daleks (aka The Mutants)
The Dalek Invasion of Earth
The Chase
The Dalek Master Plan
Power of the Daleks
Evil of the Daleks
Day of the Daleks
Frontier in Space
Planet of the Daleks
Death to the Daleks.
 

While it has been confirmed that the Dalek Invasion of Earth, Day of the Daleks, and Planet of the Daleks did occur (see War of the Daleks and Legacy of the Daleks).  It also appears that the some of the events of War of the Daleks led to events of Power of the Daleks.  So it would appear likely that all of the above stories did occur.  But the fact that thousands of planets were saved because of the Doctor's mission makes it possible that the details of the other stories (listed above) were probably changed.

4000 BC    (right after Genesis of the Daleks)
            The First Dalek exterminates the other 19 prototype Daleks and restarts the Dalek assembly line.  These Daleks are a modification of Davros' orginal design.  The First Dalek will keep the secret of his unique lineage until A Meeting of Minds. 

4000 BC          Horrified at what has become of their planet the few surviving Thals commit themselves to pacifism and become farmers.  The radiation and mutations eventually purify their race of all genetic imperfections.

??         (after Genesis of the Daleks)
             Rather then emerge from the Bunkers Davros's Daleks, led by the First Dalek, hide underground.  They dig massive mines for materials and construct huge embryo tanks.  Numerous Daleks are cloned. 

3850 BC??            (less then 200 years after Genesis of the Daleks)
            As predicted by Davros the surviving Kaleds eventually mutate into the Dalek species. 
They are identical to the mutant Daleks Davros bred except that they last the behavior programing that Davros introduced into his variation.  These Daleks are sometimes know as the Exterminators.

3850 BC        (100 years before The Daleks)
            While exploring the old Kaled City the Exterminator Daleks discover the Davros's Mark II Travel Machines and research notes.  The begin using these machines and rebuild the City.  These Daleks appear to have a desire to become human again.

3748 BC         (over a year before The Daleks)
              The Thals leave their plateau to find better land. 

3750 BC         (a little over 500 years after the beginning of the War / millions of years after the Dalek Invasion of Earth)
              The Daleks (aka The Mutants, aka etc...) This might be the first time the Doctor meets the Daleks (from the Doctor's POV).  The Exterminator Daleks are destroyed by the Doctor and the Thals.
Officially, Last Contact occurs - the Time Lords encounter a species known as the Daleks for the first time in recent memory.  The Daleks will eventually be responsible for the events that lead to the destruction of the Time Lords in the Last Great Time War.  The image of Skaro's petrified forests will haunt the Doctor for the rest of his life.

3240 BC~         (Shortly before the return of the orginal Daleks)
             The Thals develop FTL drive.  They being colonizing a nearby star system. 

3250 BC    (500 years after The Daleks / 500 years after Genesis of the Daleks)
              By this point the radiation levels on Skaro have dropped and the Thals are thriving
.  The First Dalek to be created by Davros claims the position of Black Dalek.  The original Daleks from the Bunker emerge and swiftly conquer the planet Skaro - devastating again it with neutronic bombs.  Realizing that they are outnumbered, the surviving Thals flee Skaro to the Thal colony world. 

3150 BC    (100 years after the Dalek emerge from the bunker)
            The Daleks build metallic cities over the ruins of several older cities.  The Black Dalek takes command of the Dalek City (which was originally the Kaled City).

3042 BC    (67666 TL)
           
The 666 Plot: Daleks from the year 3958 AD travel back in time to the planet Teth to learn the secret of the Bruul Hypnotism.  The CIA realises that this could prevent the Klevits from evolving and change the history of the Milky Way.  Senior Field Operative Cavoristaliteras attempts to put history back on track but ends up creating an even more deviant version of events.  Cavor  is recalled to Gallifrey. 

3040 BC        (67668 TL)
             Chief CIA Field Operative Time Lady Loribetcazistanopilain travels to Teth to mend history but is betrayed by Cavor who has done a deal with the Daleks.  Loribet is stranded in the Vortex.  She is rescued by her cousin CIA Trainee Alistanathcalebiviteth.  Loribet undertakes another trip to Teth and
succeeds in mending the timeline by defeating the Daleks. 

2780 BC        (470 years after emerging from the Bunker)
             The Daleks achieve orbital spaceflight.  They construct vast orbital space stations.

2650 BC        (600 years after emerging from the bunker /
over 100 years after the Orginal Daleks take back Skaro)

           Daleks discover antigravity and design anti-gravity disks for individual Daleks. 
Using Thal records they build a FTL ship and begin constructing a fleet.

2650 BC         (The same year they discover FTL drive / before Dalek Invasion of Earth / 1600 years after the begninng of the Neutronic War)
           
The Year of the Dalek: The First Dalek to be created by Davros claims the position of Supreme Dalek of the Dalek Space Fleet.  The Dalek decide to conquer the Universe.  Several groups of Dalek forces move out into the Milky Way.  One group is dispatched to the Lesser Magellanic Cloud (aka Galaxy 5) aboard Magellanic Cloud Cruisers.  A new Dalek is commissioned as the Black Dalek.  Eventually there will be many Black Daleks.

2150 BC         (500 years after leaving the Skaro System)
             Daleks in the Milky Way Galaxy have conquered over 35 agricultural worlds, and at least 15 low tech industrial worlds.  These worlds will provide the resources for their expansion throughout the Milky Way. 

2075 BC         (68633 TL)
             The Daleks from the future use time travel to invade the Liiliti System.  This alters the flow of history. 

2067 BC         (68641 TL from the Universe's POV / 101,193 from Gallifrey's POV / the begining of Cavor and Loribet's rivalry)
                After a major argument with Lord Cavor, Time Lady Loribet succeds in stopping the Dalek invasion of Liiliti System returning history to its original course.  She is awarded high honors by the CIA for her actions. 

1208 BC         (69500 TL)
                By this point the Dalek Space Fleet rivals any other single fleet in the Milky Way. 

1161 BC         (1489 years after the first FTL ships)
                By this point the Dalek holdings in the Milky Way Galaxy nearly reach Earth.  The Dalek expedition to Galaxy 5 arrives and begins colonization.

728  BC            (69980 TL)
                 By this point the Daleks have cut a swathe 1 third of the way across the Milky Way disk.  They have invaded and conquered almost every advanced society in that swath.  They begin to widen this swathe, which takes them towards the Sol System and Earth.  

??              The early Humanian Era begins

1 AD~       Jesus Christ is born on Sol III. 

292 AD           (70092 TL)
                The Dalek invasion of Galaxy 5 is stalled due to conflict with an advanced civilization. 

??            (before Legacy of the Daleks)
                The Master accidently destroys a Dalek hatchery on Sayomin 3. 

1589 AD    (20 years before Empire of Glass from the Time Lords POV)
                Irving Braxiatel begins organizing the Armageddon Convention (an arms limitation conference) with several species that are at war in 1609 AD.  The conference is to be held on Earth.  The Daleks and Cybermen refuse to attend.

1609  AD  Empire of Glass: The Armageddon Convention goes ahead as planned - without the Daleks

??                    
(before the 20th century)
                The Humanian Era begins.  By this point Earth will be a cosmic dumping ground for exiles from all over the Universe (the Time Lords included).

1820 AD        (at least 200 years before Power of the Daleks)
                The dimensionally transcendental capsule that was jettisoned from the Doctor's TARDIS lands on the planet Vulcan.  Lacking power the Daleks enter hibernation.

1855 AD    Daleks time travellers enter the Agamemnon System on the outer fringes of the Milky Way (coordinates 2,349 to 6,784 or 0110011 by C2 depending on they system used).  They discover the planet Braah, home of the Ogrons.  the Ogrons begin worshiping the Daleks as the Metal Gods.  The Ogrons will eventually be used as servitors for 17 different species. 

1866 AD    The Evil of the Daleks:  Desperate to win the Great War, Dalek time travellers trap the Doctor and use him to extract the Human Factor.

1929 AD    Daleks in Manhattan / Evolution of the Daleks: Dalek Sec believes that Dalek culture has led to their races extinction.  He tries to create a new individualized race of Human/Dalek hibryds but is betrayed by the other members of the Cult.  The Doctor faces the Cult of Skaro.  All of them are destroyed except Caan who escapes. 

1955 AD~  (during the 1950s)
                The Daleks arrange for Albinex the Navarino to be sent to Earth (via a time corridor) to cause a nuclear war.  A spy satellite is positioned in orbit so that he can contact the invasion force (aka the Black Fleet) when the war has begun. 

1962 AD         One Dalek (a survivor of the Last Time War) falls through time, and landed on the Ascension Islands on Earth.  He spends the next several decades waiting for orders. 

1963 AD        Remembrance of the Daleks: The Imperial Daleks from the future bring a fleet back in time to obtain the Hand of Omega.  They are led by Emperor Davros aboard the mother ship Eret-mensaiki (Destiny of the Stars).  The Original Daleks also travel back in time and set ambush in I.M. Foreman's Junkyard to obtain the Hand of Omega.  Feeling guilty about failing to prevent the Daleks from ever being created the Doctor sets a trap to utterly destroy the Daleks power base.  The Doctor tricks Davros into destroying the Skaro star system.  It is a crucial moment in the Doctor's life.  The Hand of Omega returns to Gallifrey (it doesn't arrive until Romana is President).   The removal of the Daleks as a major temporal power should have prevented the Daleks from becoming the the Time Lord's enemies in the Last Great Time War.

2157 AD
                      When the Daleks invade Earth they find human records concerning Davros causing the Destruction of Skaro.  They conceive a plot to secretly save their world without violating the Laws of Time. 


1963 AD        Remembrance of the Daleks: The Imperial Daleks from the future bring a fleet back in time to obtain the Hand of Omega.  They are led by Emperor Davros aboard the mother ship Eret-mensaiki (Destiny of the Stars).  The Skarosian Daleks also travel back in time and set ambush in I.M. Foreman's Junkyard to obtain the Hand of Omega.  Feeling guilty about failing to prevent the Daleks from ever being created the Doctor sets a trap to utterly destroy the Daleks power base.  The Doctor tricks Davros into destroying what they both believe is the Skaro star system.  It is a crucial moment in the Doctor's life.  The Hand of Omega returns to Gallifrey (it doesn't arrive until Romana is President).   The removal of the Daleks as a major temporal power should have prevented the Daleks from becoming the the Time Lord's enemies in the Last Great Time War, however the Skarosian Daleks manage to secretly save their star system by tricking Davros into blowing up the wrong system.

1966 AD             (July 20th 1966 AD)
                    The Evil of the Daleks: The Doctor is captured by Daleks from the future and taken back to 1866 AD


1965 AD~            (after the first man in space)
                   By this point the Dalek Uniographers have charted (but not visited) 11,073 planets with life.  By this point only 50 Thals remain on Skaro, living in a vally to the north of the Dalek City. 

1971 AD      The Day of the Daleks: The Doctor eliminates a version of history where the Daleks became the masters of Earth.  It is possible that the primary reason the CIA place the Doctor on Earth in this time zone was to prevent the Daleks from gaining control of the Gravity Control Unit.

1983 AD         (December 13, 1983 AD)
                    Return of the Living Dad: The Doctor prevents Albinex and Issac Summerfield from starting World War III and has the Dalek spy satellite destroyed.

1984 AD    The Daleks establish a time corridor to London in 1984 AD and begin replacing key political figures with duplicates.  These duplicates will be used to collapse Earth society during a Dalek invasion. 

1984 AD    Resurrection of the Daleks:  The Daleks recover several canisters of Movellan Anti-Dalek Virus. 

??               Earth begins to suffer from numerous random explosions.  These explosions are caused by Time Ships who are targeting points in space time that could have had great significance in the future.  The people killed in these explosions are (probably by design) largely removed from the cultural context of Humanity.  Thus (by definition) nobody important is ever killed.  Thus their actions (even before their deaths) don't matter.

1999 AD?       (shortly before This Town Will Never Let Us Go)
                    A Time Lord Timeship probably "crashes" on earth and is buried beneath a town.

1999 AD         This Town Will Never Let Us Go: Anthropological Predictions show that Humanity was on the verge of evolving into a non-linear time-active culture capable of processing entire universes of information called Homo Imago.  This is called The Younger World Theory.  Humans and Gallifreyans are the only races whose cultures can not be accurately predicted by these projections.  Humanity would have had a field of comprehension larger then the Time Lord’s Noosphere.  It might have made them travlers in the 6th and 7th dimensions of Possibility and Imagination.  The human named Valentine is working for the one of the Higher Powers (probably the Enemy) and plans on destroying a Timeship that crashed on earth.  The Great Houses deploy a Ghost Cluster device on him (almost certainly to stop him from detonating the bomb).  Despite this the Timeship is still accidentally destroyed.  An unexpected side effect of this is that Humanity misses its first opportunity to achieve its conversion into Homo Imago.  Instead of making that leap humanity slides into a state of virtual cultural and technological stasis for at least the next 10,000,000 years.  Rumors suggest that this stasis might have been arranged by the Time Lords, possibly using the Jallama Reed and New Young God’s Transmissions.

1999 AD     After several billion years the original Ancestor Cells end up on Earth.  They feed on the chronon decay created by various Time Travel Capsules and various temporal paradoxes that pollute the Web of Time.  This pollution allows the cells to grow into a "race" that is completely alien and inimical to the Time Lords.  The Ancestor Cells are drawn to Gallifrey by I.M. Foreman's Universe-in-a-Bottle.  The Time Lords will spend much of the Last Great Time War believing that these Ancestor Cells are the Enemy.  

2000 AD         The later Humanian Era begins.  The Daleks attempt to mine the magnetic core of the Earth but fail because of the magenetic properites of the Earth. 

2007 AD         Army of Ghosts / Doomesday: The Cult of Skaro emerges from the Void between alternate timelines and attempts to take over the Earth using the millions of Daleks in the Genesis Ark.  The Doctor has all the Daleks (except the Black Dalek named Sec) sucked back into the Void.  Sec exscapes using a built in device that allows him to create an Emergency Temporal Shift.  Rose is trapped in the Alternate Earth with Micky.

2012 AD         Dalek: One of the last two surviving Daleks of the future Time War exterminates itself.     

2020 AD         The Power of the Daleks: A human colony on the planet Vulcan discovers a Dalek Capsule from the distant future.  The Daleks are destroyed. 

2069 AD         (2060s, probably before The Daleks)
                        Alien Bodies: By this point the Daleks are scattered all over the Milky Way Galaxy.  The Daleks on Skaro are only just now deciding to form an Empire.

2103 AD         (72811 TL)
                Dalek Scouts reach the Moli System and make contact with the plant-like Velianavi.  In order to obtain access to Velianavi toxins the Daleks establish an information exchange. 

2115 AD         (72823 TL)
                The Daleks fail to find a way to produce the Velianavi toxin outside of the planet Moli Veliane.  They enslave the Velianavi to produce the toxin in mass quantities for them. 

2139 AD         (72847 TL)
                The Daleks use the Velianavi Toxin to successfully conquer 5 planets.

2142 AD          (72853 TL)
                The Daleks step up the production of the Velianavi Toxin. 

2145 AD         (72856 TL)
                The blight that the Daleks use to control the Velianavi runs wild and nearly wipes out the population.  The CIA Field Oprative Alistanathcalbeiviteth arrives on Moli Veliane and assists in the destruction of the Daleks and the genocide of the Velianavie.

2146.4            (10.6 years before the Daleks invade)
                Using captured Thal Deep Space Telescopes the Daleks discover a world ideal for invasion - Earth.  Having exhausted the mineral resources of Skaro the Daleks decide to invade Earth. 

??             (shortly before Godengine)
                The Daleks ally with the Martians to obtain the Godengine from Mars.  In return the Martians will mantian control of Mars. 
The Godengine weapon was constructed by the Osirans.  It can be used to draw out and direct focused bursts of plasma from the sun - Enough to devastate entire planets. However it will not function in a planetary magnetic field.  The Daleks plan to remove Earth's magnetic field in Operation De-Gravitate, so that the Godengine can be transfered from Mars to Earth.  Once installed on Earth the Daleks will turn Earth into a planet sized space ship with the Godengine as its prime weapon. 

2157 AD~

                As the Dalek's Black Fleet approaches Earth it devastates 15 colony wolds, including Azure, Qartopholos, and Sifranos (billions of colonists on Sifranos die). 

2157 AD      (10 years before the Dalek Invasion of Earth)

                Lacking the military might to conquer Earth by force
the Daleks bombard Earth with plague ridden meteorites diverted from near Saturn.  This retrovirus enters the food chain and atmosphere contaminating 68% of the DNA over 40% of the planet. The entire populations of South America, Africa, and Asia are wiped out.  Billions die before a cure is found.  This is the beginning of the First Dalek War.


2157 AD      (9.5 years before Dalek Invasion of Earth / explicitly 2157 AD / explicitly 2157 AD / explicitly 2000 AD / probably on or after 2164 AD)
                
By this point Human society is on the verge of collapse.  The Daleks Earth Force (aka the Black Fleet) invade the Sol System.   The Dalek's Black Fleet is made up of 12 saucers with a total of 500 Daleks.   The human outposts on Callisto, Tethys, Nereid, Cassius, Charon and Pluto are exterminated.  Upon reaching Earth, the Dalek Saucers destroy many of the major cities.  Then the Daleks land and begin to robotize the populace.  The Daleks set up an Icaron Partical Generator on Mercury to blockade the System.

2157 AD    (after the Daleks invade)
                Uranus' moon, Oberon, served as an underground base for the Humans during the Dalek blockade.


2157 AD        Godengine: Once Earth was completely subjugated the Daleks begin Operation De-Gravitate - a mining operation to remove Earth's magnetic core.  They plann to take the Godengine from Mars and install it on Earth and then turn Earth into a giant space ship.  The Godengine is destroyed by the Doctor.  This destruction disables the Icaron Partical blockade.   

2157 AD       (after Godengine / 2157)
                The Dalek attempt to invade Mars but are defeated by a genetically engineered virus that attacks their wiring. 


2161 AD    The Daleks exterminate the United Kingdom's Royal Family and destroy Buckingham Palace.

2162 AD    By this point the Daleks control all the planets in the Sol System.

2167 AD  
 
  (
Susan is 16 at this time)
                The Dalek Invasion of Earth: The Daleks invasion force is destroyed.  Susan stays on Earth and marries David Campbell.   She may find the Journal that Ian and Barbara left for her in the 20th Century.  They will adopt three children.  The Doctor plans to return and take Susan as a companion again when she has her first regeneration.  Captain David Jarvis of the Dauntless ends the Dalek blockade of the Solar System.  Unknown to the humans the Dalek research facility DA-17 also serves as a backup hatchery of Dalek embryos.  It has a separate power supply for its Daleks (probably static floors).  It remains in operation and its scientists continue work on an experimental matter transmuter. 

2169 AD    (2 years after Dalek Invasion of Earth)
                Alien Bodies: The Doctor's body is removed from storage. 

2170-2430 AD???    (shortly after the Dalek Invasion of Earth / this last several hundred years)
                The Daleks strip all the planets in the Skaro system of resources and begin constructing a massive army of Daleks.  They spread to neighboring systems and strip them as well.  The construction of this army will take centuries. 


2199 AD?    (Shortly before Legacy of the Daleks)
                A Dalek spearhead for a second invasion arrives secretly on Earth.

2199 AD    (32 years after Dalek Invasion of Earth from Susan's POV)
                Legacy of the Daleks: The Master kills David Campbell.  He attempts to seize the
Dalek matter transmuter but Susan Campbell destroys it and steals the Master's Type 45 TARDIS.  Linked to a TARDIS level power source this device would have been capable of destroying entire solar systems.  It seems likely that extreme power requirements prevented this device from ever being very useful to the Dalek Empire. 

2217 AD    By this point Earth has recovered from the Dalek Invasion. 

??           
The 128-stanza poem Lament of the Non-Operational is written by a Dalek

??             (shortly after the Dalek Invasion of Earth / before Frontier in Space)
                The Daleks begin using Ogrons as servants.   

2430 AD
                The Dogs of Doom

??             (before Planet of the Daleks)
                The Thals are known as one of the most peace loving peoples in the galaxy. 

2500 AD~  (hundreds of years after the Dalek Invasion of Earth)
               
The Thals abandon their pacifist ways and swear to the destroy the Daleks no matter what the cost.  They begin constructing Revenge Fleets.  By this point the Daleks have spread their forces out too thinly and the Thals are able to mount an attack from their colony.  They retake Skaro from the Daleks. 

??            (during the Dalek Wars / before Frontier in Space)
                The First Dalek to be created by Davros appoints himself to the position of Dalek Prime.

2540 AD~   (before Frontier in Space)
                The Daleks set up a secret base on Spiridon to research invisibility and a virus that would destory all forms of life.  Spiridon is many systems from Skaro.

2540 AD    (right before Plant of the Daleks)
                The Thals develop their first extended range ships.  The Thals capture Dalek communication technology and begin monitoring Dalek transmissions.  The Thals discover that the Daleks have a secret base on Spiridon and the they send a suicide team to destroy them.  At this point the Thals still beleive Earth is a legend.

??            The Daleks place and army of 10,000 Daleks on Spirirdon in cryogenic sleep.  At this point in history this is the largest Dalek force ever assembled.

2540 AD
                Frontier in Space: The Master allies himself with the Daleks.  They try to provoke a war between the humans and the Draconians.  After both sides have exhausted themselves in the war the Daleks plan to invade every solar system in the Milky Way.  The Doctor prevents the humans and Draconians from going to war.  In response to his request the Time Lords send the Doctor to Spiridon to defeat the Daleks. 

2540 AD
                Planet of the Daleks:
  The Doctor meets Iris Wildthyme again.  The Daleks experiment with generating anti-reflecting light waves to render themselves invisible by eliminating all light wave emissions.  However the effect only lasts slightly more then 2 work cycles before suffering from ray exhaustion due to a lack of power.  Many of the Daleks also experience light-wave sickness.  The Daleks perfect their super virus that will destroy all forms of life (except those that are immunized) on an entire planet within 1 day.  The Doctor prevents the Daleks from deploying the virus and buries their army under allotropic ice.  This is the biggest setback the Dalek Empire has ever experienced up to this point.  The Daleks being working on freeing their army though this could take centuries.  The Draconians and the Humans unite and start the Third Dalek War. 

2540?      (shortly before Absolm Daak...DK)
                The Daleks conquer
the planet Mazam.

2540~ AD  (the 26th century / probably after Planet of the Daleks)
                Absolm Daak...Dalek Killer: During this time captial criminals may choose to become Daleks Killers.  They are equiped with extensive weapondry and teleported to Dalek held worlds to survive for as long as they can.  Abslom Daak is one very successful Dalek Killer from this period.  He liberates the planet Mazam. 

2543 AD
                Return of the Living Dad: Admiral Issac Summerfield's ship the Tisiphone falls through a wormhole in the middle of the Battle of Bellatrix with the Daleks. 

2545 AD    (June 2545 AD)
                300 Dalek battlecruisers invade Earth's solar system.  They conquer Mars and use its population of
3 billion humans as a human shield.  General Keele eventually drives the Daleks off of Mars and out of the solar system. 

???         (thousands of years before A Meeting of Minds / after Frontier in Space)
                 The Daleks discover that Doctor is a time traveller.  The Daleks begin a Time-Travel Program.  The Emperor makes the capture of a Time Lord and his TARDIS a top priority for the Dalek Empire.  With access to time travel the Daleks will go on to create havoc over millions of years of history and threaten at least 65 different temporal nexuses.   Without the intervention of the CIA and other Time Lords the number could be as much as 100 times as high.

2550 AD??        (definitely the 26th century)
                    By this time Gallifrey's star has gone supernova.  The blast can still be seen when viewed from Simia KK98.  The ruins of Gallifreyan buildings can be found at this point.  Gallifrey is far from any human colonies.

??            (after Frontier in Space / possibly not to long after the Dalek Invasion of Earth)

                The Chase: The Dalek Time Program produces (at great cost) the first DARDIS timeship.  The Daleks attempt to destroy the Doctor but fail.  The Daleks encounter and are defeated by the Mechanoids for the first time.  The DARDIS is destroyed.  This the first time the Daleks have deliberately acted against the Time Lords.  By this point the Daleks recognize the Doctor as their greatest enemy - the Ka Faraq Gatri (enemy of the Daleks, Bringer of Darkness, Oncoming Storm, Destroyer of Worlds). 
Dalek standing orders state that the Doctor is to be killed on sight.

??            (right after The Chase)
                The Daleks make destroying all mechanoid colonies a priority.  The long Mechon Wars begin.

??            (Probably centuries before Destiny of the Daleks / shortly before the Day of the Daleks)
                The Daleks learn (from records obtained from their invasion of Earth) that Davros will be responsible for destroying Skaro. 

??            (shortly before the end of the Mechon Wars)
               
The Daleks develop the Time Vortex Magnetron which could lock onto temporal transmitters to deliver and retrieve objects from history.   In an attempt to prevent Davros from destroying Skaro in the future, the Daleks invade Earth in the years 2071.  They end up causing a temporal paradox that the Doctor eliminates.  By this point the Dalek Empire is rapidly expanding. 

THE DAY OF THE DALEKS
The Daleks use the Time Vortex Magnetron to change history by invading Earth in the year 2071.  They end up causing a temporal paradox that the Doctor eliminates. 
It is possible that the primary reason the CIA placed the Doctor on Earth in this time zone was to prevent the Daleks from gaining control of the Gravity Control Unit.

1971 AD      Day of the Daleks: A time traveller from Earth's future accidently starts World War III

2071 AD      The Dalek time fleet from the future invades Earth.

2172 AD~    Day of the Daleks: The Doctor travels to this alternate history and prevents it from occurring. 

??            (shortly before the end of the Mechon Wars)
               
The Daleks develop the Time Vortex Magnetron which could lock onto temporal transmitters to deliever and retrive objects from history.   The Daleks invade Earth in the years 2071.


??            The Mechon Wars end with the complete destruction of the Mechons.

2560 AD??            (Before or during the Time Lord's deal with the Daleks)
             Last Contact occurs - the Time Lords encounter a species known as the Dalek for the first time (from the Time Lords' POV).  The Daleks will eventually be responsible for the events that lead to the destruction of the Time Lords in the Last Great Time War.

2560 AD??            (before "Genesis of the Daleks" from the Time Lord's POV / thousands of years before "Dead Romance" / probably during the Games / possibly before the Armageddon Convention)
            The Time Lords make a deal with the Daleks.  The Time Lords agreed to let the Daleks develop primitive time travel.  They also agree not to use them in the Games.  The Daleks agree to do (or not do) something important in return.  The Time Lords will eventually forget about their treaty with the Daleks - though they will remember that Daleks and Cybermen aren't allowed to play in the Games.

??            (probably after the anchient Time Lords make their first deal with the Daleks)
                The Daleks discover that the Time Lords attempted to avert their creation.  This is reguarded a the beginning of the Last Great Time War in Heaven by the Daleks.  The Daleks begin carefully plotting to destroy the Time Lords. 

??            (decades after the Chase)
                The Daleks finally are able to be build a second DARDIS. 


2570 AD          Love and War: the Doctor meets Bernice Surprise Summerfield.  The Hoothi return.  The Dalek War is still going on in some distant quadrants.

2570 AD?   (a generation after a set of Dalek Wars)
                A Dalek War ends


2590 AD??            (after Frontier in Space / in the 26th Century)
                The Thals begin abandoning Skaro and relocate to colony worlds.


2596 AD    Dead Romance:  Chris Cwej arranges treaties with several races.  The races receive Gallifreyan technology in return for either allying themselves with the Time Lords or staying neutral in the coming War.  Treaties are signed with the Kings of Space (through another group of Sphinxes?), the People of the Worldsphere, and the Daleks. 

2606 AD                (73314 TL)
                The Daleks attack Skaro and the last Thals abandon the world.  Not realizing that the Thals have left, the Daleks bomb all former Thal settlements with neutron bombs.  The Thals continue to build Revenge Fleets for use against the Daleks.


2663 AD            (2000 years before Remembrance of the Daleks)
                The battle computer used by the Skarosian Black Dalek in Remembrance of the Daleks had experience that back to this point in Dalek history.  This was probably when this Dalek was given its own travel machine. 

2690 AD~        The Daleks displace the Anthaurk from their home planet. 


2780 AD             (1270 years before The Genocide Machine)
                The Daleks travel back in time and construct stone temples of a "lost race" on the planet Kar-Charrat.  They will hide in these tempels for 1270 years and then invade the Library of Kar-Charrat. 

2800 AD   (73508 TL / 25 years after a set of Dalek Wars)
                Death to the Daleks: The Daleks infect numerous earth colonies with a plague.  10,000,000 humans will die without the cure, Parrinium, that can only be found on Exxilon.  The Daleks attempt to seize the Parrinium and blackmail the colonies but the Doctor defeats them. 
The colonies' outrage at the Daleks' actions lead to another Dalek War.  This the first major Dalek offensive since the Frontier in Space incident.
