Theory:Timeline - Daleks

This page lists appearances of the Daleks - and their creator, Davros - in the order in which they experienced them. This timeline is based upon observations of the Doctor Who universe and the events that occur during each of these stories.

Limiting factors
Daleks with cone-shaped ears are usually seen during or after the Last Great Time War, while Daleks with bulb-shaped ears are usually seen before.

Non-slatted Daleks are usually seen before TV: The Chase although the Daleks in TV: Genesis of the Daleks and TV: The Power of the Daleks are slatted and both take place before The Chase. These are the only exceptions to this rule as they cannot be set later in the timeline.

Any story where the Daleks have not developed space travel must take place before COMIC: Power Play.

Any story where the Daleks do not know that the Doctor is a Time Lord must take place before TV: Resurrection of the Daleks; this therefore includes TV: The Chase, TV: The Daleks' Master Plan and TV The Evil fo the Daleks.

Any story where Skaro exists must take place before TV:Remembrance of the Daleks where it is destroyed, which is referenced in TV: Twice Upon a Time, AUDIO: Terror Firma and AUDIO: Daleks Among Us. Skaro is devastated, following the events of the Time War (TV: Daleks in Manhattan) and is restored by TV: The Magician's Apprentice/The Witch's Familiar. "The Destroyer of Skaro" is a name for the Doctor recorded by the Testimony in the far future. (TV: Twice Upon a Time) Any story featuring Davros with an intact wheelchair has to happen before COMIC: Emperor of the Daleks! in which Abslom Daak chain swords his torso. Any story where Davros has an intact personality must take place prior to Terror Firma.

Dalek time travel is inconsistent. They have time machines in TV: The Chase, TV: The Daleks' Master Plan and AUDIO: Daleks Among Us. Dalek time travel is "crude and nasty" in TV: Remembrance of the Daleks and their time travel technology can rival the Time Lords by the Gallifrey audio series, leading to the Last Great Time War.

However, Davros' personality is replaced by an Emperor Dalek in Terror Firma, setting it and Remembrance of the Daleks after the Time War, unless Davros was restored to his original personality during the Time War (which has never been stated in any story). Dalek time travel technology is clearly advanced in TV: The Magician's Apprentice, with Colony Sarff being sent to multiple points in time (including the end of the universe where the Sisterhood of Karn are). It is never stated that the Daleks or Davros have looked into their personal future.

We Are the Daleks!

 * PROSE: We are the Daleks!
 * The Daleks are created from humans.

Genesis of the Daleks

 * TV: The Magician's Apprentice (child Davros)
 * TV: The Witch's Familiar (child Davros)
 * AUDIO: Innocence
 * AUDIO: Purity
 * AUDIO: Corruption
 * AUDIO: Guilt
 * TV: Genesis of the Daleks
 * Davros creates the Daleks.

Genesis of Evil and Space

 * COMIC: Genesis of Evil
 * The Daleks evolve from humanoids, as described in The Daleks.


 * AUDIO: Random Ghosts
 * AUDIO: The Lights of Skaro
 * In the default time period of Random Ghosts and The Lights of Skaro, the Daleks haven't yet developed space travel.


 * COMIC: The Message of Mystery
 * COMIC: Power Play
 * The Daleks gain space travel.


 * COMIC: Duel of the Daleks
 * COMIC: The Amaryll Challenge
 * COMIC: The Penta Ray Factor
 * COMIC: Plague of Death
 * COMIC: The Menace of the Monstrons
 * COMIC: Eve of War
 * COMIC: The Archives of Phryne
 * COMIC: The Rogue Planet
 * COMIC: Impasse
 * AUDIO: Jubilee
 * The Daleks use transolar discs. They invade in 1903, so probably early in Dalek history as opposed to time travellers.


 * 2135- COMIC: The Doctor Strikes Back
 * The Doctor says that the Daleks have garrisons on nearly every planet in the universe at this time (away from Earth's galaxy?). The Second Doctor is the Supreme Dalek's arch enemy.


 * COMIC: The Terrorkon Harvest
 * COMIC: Legacy of Yesteryear
 * Centuries after Genesis of Evil.


 * COMIC: Shadow of Humanity
 * COMIC: The Emissaries of Jevo
 * COMIC: The Road to Conflict
 * The Daleks elect to search for Earth.

The Dalek Occupation of the Solar System

 * COMIC: Return of the Elders
 * The Daleks' invasion is initially repelled, but they vow to return.


 * PROSE: Doctor Who and the Daleks
 * The Daleks do not yet have time travel. They are ruled by the Golden Emperor. They have conflict with humanity, which is not confined to Earth. Therefore this has been placed during the First Dalek War, before the invasion of Earth.


 * 2157 - PROSE: Lucifer Rising
 * The Daleks are attacking Earth colonies.


 * 2157 - PROSE: GodEngine
 * The invasion has begun; the Daleks also attack Mars.


 * AUDIO: The Mutant Phase
 * Set during the occupation, though not for the alternate future Daleks.


 * AUDIO: Masters of Earth
 * Set in 2163 during the occupation, but as the Sixth Doctor repeatedly insists that the invasion will end in a year, it really has to be set in 2166.


 * 2167 - TV: The Dalek Invasion of Earth
 * The Daleks' Master Plan, GodEngine, Lucifer Rising and The Mutant Phase date the Dalek invasion to 2157. The TV story itself is set 10 years later. The Doctor believes that The Daleks was "a million years" in the future, and that Invasion is "about the middle history of the Daleks." However, in the novelisation, this is changed, and the Doctor theorises that their defeat in Daleks may not have been complete, that the Daleks have "tremendous powers of survival," or that there may have been other colonies on other parts of Skaro. He also notes "they’ve evolved too," implying Daleks comes before Invasion.


 * AUDIO: Lucie Miller
 * AUDIO: To the Death
 * The Daleks are familiar with the Monk, but the Daleks are natives to this era except the Dalek Time Controller, who will have gave them the knowledge of the Monk. The Daleks invade Earth again in the 22nd century.


 * PROSE: Legacy of the Daleks
 * Possible anomaly, as it clashes with Lucie Miller and To the Death.


 * TV: The Daleks
 * 500 years after the Neutronic War, not the Thousand Year War, and generations before Planet of the Daleks. A Dalek with this design is featured in The Space Museum.


 * AUDIO: The Curse of the Daleks
 * After the Daleks and 50 years after a Dalek War that humanity won.


 * TV: The Space Museum (cameo)
 * Placed here on the assumption/conjecture that the museum Dalek is a relic of the occupation or from Skaro.

Early Time Travel

 * TV: Day of the Daleks
 * The Daleks have invaded Earth before, so after the The Dalek Invasion of Earth. They have "discovered the secret of time travel." They have had another go at the invasion. They know the Doctor but do not recognize his third incarnation.


 * COMIC: The Trodos Ambush
 * The Daleks are non-slatted and can detect the Doctor's journey to Trodos, hinting at an understanding of time travel.


 * TV: The Chase
 * The Daleks are based on Skaro again and are now slatted. They have a dimensionally transcendental timeship but explicitly want revenge for The Dalek Invasion of Earth, implying it is not too long after that story. In the Mission to the Unkown novelisation, the Doctor explains that "the Daleks have been studying time for almost a century," implying the Daleks from The Chase are native to the 40th century.


 * COMIC: The World That Waits
 * Follows The Chase.

The Dalek Wars

 * 2430 - COMIC: Doctor Who and the Dogs of Doom
 * Humanity has settled in the New Earth System for fifty years since 2380.


 * TV: Death to the Daleks
 * This occurs a generation after a Dalek War and the Daleks are less advanced than the ones in Frontier in Space/Planet of the Daleks. They know who the Third Doctor is and know about the Tardis. According to PROSE: The Colony of Lies, a Dalek war breaks out in 2459.


 * 2540 - TV: Frontier in Space
 * The Daleks attack.


 * 2540 - TV: Planet of the Daleks
 * Follows Frontier in Space.


 * AUDIO: Enemy of the Daleks
 * Daleks and humans are at war with one another.


 * COMIC: Abslom Daak... Dalek Killer
 * Set during the Dalek Wars.


 * COMIC: Nemesis of the Daleks
 * Set during the Dalek Wars.

 * 2570 - PROSE Love and War / AUDIO Love and War
 * Towards the end of the war.

Aftermath of the Wars

 * AUDIO: Plague of the Daleks
 * Set in the 45th century, but these Daleks have been in cryogenic suspension for 17 centuries.

Return of Davros

 * TV: The Pilot
 * Set in the past according to the Doctor. Steven Moffat confirmed that the Movellans are more human than the ones in Destiny of the Daleks, placing it before that story. Bronze Daleks are fighting the war.


 * AUDIO: Order of the Daleks
 * These Daleks crashed on their way back to Skaro from the invasion of Kantra, which was mentioned in Destiny.


 * c. 4949 - TV: Destiny of the Daleks
 * "Thousands of years" after the Daleks were created, Davros is awakened and later put in suspended animation. Neverland mentions the year 4949 in relation to the Dalek-Movellan War as recorded in the Matrix on Gallifrey.


 * AUDIO:  Alien Heart
 * Set during the War.


 * AUDIO: Dalek Soul
 * TV: Resurrection of the Daleks
 * 90 years after the events of Destiny, Davros is taken out of suspended animation to cure the Movellan virus. The Daleks know of the Time Lords, setting this after The Daleks' Master Plan and Evil of the Daleks.


 * AUDIO: Davros
 * Between Resurrection and Revelation. TransAllied, Inc was formed back in the 38th century.


 * TV: Revelation of the Daleks
 * AUDIO: The Juggernauts
 * Davros crashes on Lethe but is recovered by the (Renegade) Dalek Supreme.


 * COMIC: Emperor of the Daleks!
 * Foreshadows Remembrance, Davros' torso is cut, leading to the last vestage of his humanoid form in "Remembrance".


 * AUDIO: The Curse of Davros
 * Davros is leading a force of Imperial Daleks. His skirt matches that of a Dalek. He has not adapted to his Emperor casing. These Daleks lose their memories at the end of this story, perhaps explaining why Davros is on trial in the next story.


 * AUDIO: We Are The Daleks
 * The Daleks do not recognise the Seventh Doctor. They are Imperial Daleks on the cover. The Emperor is not Davros and appears to be the one from Evil of the Daleks. The Dalek tower is probably the one from Asylum of the Daleks.


 * AUDIO: The Davros Mission
 * AUDIO: Innocence
 * AUDIO: Purity
 * AUDIO: Corruption
 * AUDIO: Guilt
 * Davros is being put on Trial due to the Daleks having their memories wiped. He becomes Emperor once more


 * COMIC: Time & Time Again
 * An Imperial Dalek is in 1963, just before Remembrance.

 * The Doctor rhetorically states that the Supreme Dalek is a "thousand years" from Skaro. The Doctor is remembered as the "Destroyer of Skaro" in Twice Upon a Time by Testimony.

Empire and Emperor

 * PROSE: War of the Daleks
 * Follows Remembrance. Skaro survives according to the Dalek Prime but his plan appears unlikely and there are alternate possibilities to Skaro's fate. The factory ship is the same one from TV: The Power of the Daleks.


 * TV: The Power of the Daleks
 * The Doctor throws the capsule back through the vortex to Vulcan c. 1820 in War of the Daleks. The Daleks recognize the Second Doctor. Their capsule is bigger on inside, hinting that time travel maybe involved. The humans are unfamiliar with Daleks. The trailer states that this story takes place in 2020. The Daleks are powered by static, probably due to limited resource after being trapped on Vulcan for 200 years.


 * AUDIO: Daleks Among Us
 * Davros believes Skaro has been destroyed. Davros survives, and his personality is intact The Daleks have time machines and have spread across the universe.


 * AUDIO: Terror Firma
 * Davros's escape pod enters the time vortex after the explosion of his mothership but his memory is unstable so his memories are probably scrambled, allowing him to forget the previous two stories. He believes Skaro has been destroyed and his personality is subsumed by that of the Dalek Emperor. He is more unstable than in War of the Daleks or Daleks Among Us.


 * AUDIO: Brotherhood of the Daleks
 * The Daleks recognise Charley Pollard from Terror Firma.


 * COMIC: Fire and Brimstone
 * Set in the 53rd century.
