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.

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.

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
??

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

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.

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.
