The 27th century Dalek invasion was an attempted invasion of Earth waged by the Daleks led by the Golden Emperor in the first part of the 27th century. It followed a two hundred peace with the human race after which the Daleks were allowed to be rearmed following their defeat in a prior invasion. It was a far more minor attempt than the invasion in the 25th century and the initial declaration of war was more broadly addressed to "all the planets in every sky" rather than the Solar system specifically.

Origins
Towards the end of the 25th century Dalek invasion of the Solar system, the Daleks were forced to retreat to Skaro where they activated a force field to prevent the Space Army from landing. Eventually, Jeff Stone ordered that a gap in the force field at one of the poles be sealed. This threatened to suffocate the Daleks and after receiving a note telling them of this they soon lowered the field to discuss peace terms. (PROSE: Break-through) As part of the treaty, the Daleks promised to never leave Skaro again and end their dreams of conquest. (COMIC: Battle for the Moon) All Dalek weaponry became stored in a big space vault above Skaro and the Daleks themselves had their gunsticks removed. (COMIC: The Mechanical Planet) An Age of Universal Peace began in 2409. (PROSE: Break-through!)

In the early 27th century, after "two hundred years" of peace, an unknown Mechanical Planet moved through the universe destroying planets it came across, serving a potential threat to both Earth and Skaro. Earth possessed few weapons because of the many years of peace and did not understand how to use the Daleks'. The Emperor came to Earth and assured ambassador Brit Sovard that with their weapons returned to them they could deal with the planet. Brit reluctantly agreed and humans Jay and Gregg rode with the Emperor on his ship to ensure the success of the mission. After the planet was destroyed, the Emperor asked that the humans warn Earth and "all the planets in every sky" that the Daleks will come to conquer them. (COMIC: The Mechanical Planet)

Assassination of the Defence Minister
Soon after, the Daleks infiltrated Earth and came to be based beneath the yet to be finished Octagon building. They made Humanoid copies of several people in authority including Minister of Defence Tal Yorke, who they had kidnapped along with his family. The humanoid replaced the real Yorke for the Nine Planet Screen broadcast at which he was to make a different speech that would have damaged Earth's alliances. Before it begin, however, Yorke was seemingly assassinated by Agent Meric Scrivener of Unispace Security who then fled. He was pursued by Agent Arthur Lippert, Agent Brit, and journalist Tom Lytton. They followed him first to the burning remains of Yorke's mansion and then to the Octagon, believing him to be insane. Lytton found a switch inside and they continued where they discovered many prisoners manacled to the walls. They were quickly confronted by a Dalek who was shot and killed by the concealed Meric. He explained to the trio that he had known Yorke for a long time and knew the one at the conference to be a fake. He killed the fake and fled in case he was detained for questioning giving the Daleks time to relocate. Meric, Brit and Arthur freed the prisoners after Meric deduced Lytton to also be a humanoid. In his report, Lippert suggested that Meric be awarded the Nine Planet Star Decoration for his intelligence, endeavour and bravery, an idea Unispace Controller for Earth Bronson Bailey heavily endorsed.
