Hover position

Hover position was the Dalek act of ascension. (COMIC: The Penta Ray Factor) Achieved by the base unit of the Dalek motor casing, it allowed individual Daleks to take flight without the use of a hoverbout. Much like how the Daleks fired their gunsticks after exclaiming "exterminate!", a Dalek would generally exclaim "elevate!" before taking flight. (TV: Dalek)
