Talk:Supreme Dalek

Curce of Davros
is the supreme dalek that appears in The Curse of Davros as part of Davros' imperal faction the same one that led the renegade faction in Remembrance of the Daleks? both these stories take place during the Imperial-Renegade Dalek Civil War.DalekSupreme13 talk to me 08:03, June 22, 2012 (UTC)

Behind the scenes

 * In the Dalek Chronicles the Black Dalek acts as overall second-in-command of the Daleks, ranking below only the Dalek Emperor. John Peel's BBC Books Doctor Who novel War of the Daleks the Daleks are led by the Dalek Prime, whose description matches that of the TV 21 Dalek Emperor. In the novel, the Dalek Prime is the judge at Davros's trial on Skaro and is stated to be the last survivor of the original Daleks created by Davros. As this was how Peel referred to the Dalek Emperor in his novelisation of The Evil of the Daleks, this suggests that they are the same Dalek at different points in its history. The novel also mentions Black Daleks as being high in the Dalek chain-of-command and being in charge of all lower ranks, being subordinate only to Gold Daleks and the Dalek Prime. The Dalek Prime is also mentioned in Peel's BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures novel Legacy of the Daleks.
 * In the Big Finish Productions series of Dalek Empire stories, the rank of Supreme Dalek is equivalent to an Army General, subordinate to the Emperor Dalek on Skaro, and eventually rises to command the Daleks in the Emperor's absence, with a different Dalek Supreme taking over in the third series.

Why is this worded behind the scenes and out-of-universe? We cover The Dalek Chronicles, Dalek Empire and even Peel's Dalek EDAs as in-universe sources. -- Tybort (talk page) 01:37, July 30, 2012 (UTC)

The Black Dalek is Different
In both Brotherhood of the Daleks and Daleks Among Us there is a distinction made between the Supreme Dalek and the Black Dalek which have, mostly, been assumed as one-and-the-same.

I assume this assumption was made because of the Dalek Invasion of Earth and Dalek Sec but Big Finish has included the term "Sumpreme Dalek" as well as the term "Black Dalek" so if they were the same, would they bother using different terms? Besides, the stories where "Black Dalek" is used are not included on this page anyway. Black Dalek should be edited to become a new page, no longer a re-direct. Steed ☎  01:29, July 30, 2014 (UTC)

Tabbed gallery
Hi all. Just another discussion I'm spawning off the back of the recent {docpic} thread in which it was decided to do away with the fading slideshow in favour of tabbed galleries for pages such as The Doctor.

Just wondered if such a thing would be warranted here, to showcase the various Supreme Daleks from over the years? A working example of how it could look is here. Just thought it was worth asking. FractalDoctor ☎  12:25, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
