Strategist Dalek (Victory of the Daleks)

The first Strategist Dalek of the New Dalek Paradigm was created as one of five new Dalek types by the Progenitor aboard their last surviving ship above Earth in 1941 when the last three Daleks tricked the Eleventh Doctor into allowing them to activate the Progenitor device. It personally exterminated two of the old Daleks who were deemed inferior, a disguised Ironside and its unaltered counterpart.

When the Doctor attempted to pass a Jammie Dodger as a self-destruct device for his TARDIS to threaten the Daleks, the Strategist's scan determined that no such device existed. Immediately after, the Strategist warned the Supreme of multiple projectiles approaching their ship. As the Daleks established a time corridor to escape, the Strategist reported that the time jump would commence in thirty rels. Just prior to the jump, the Strategist finally reported that the Oblivion Continuum was inactive. The five new Daleks then escaped through the time corridor and went on to rebuild their empire.

Behind the scenes

 * As with its fellow new Daleks, the Strategist Dalek in Victory of the Daleks was depicted with a specially created prop. This prop was later modified to serve as the active Stone Dalek in The Big Bang.
