Necros Incident

The Necros Incident was the Time Lord designation for the event in which the Sixth Doctor confronted Davros on Necros, which they identified as taking place in the 47th century. (TV: Revelation of the Daleks, PROSE: Dalek Combat Training Manual)

Prelude
Davros, original creator of the Daleks, decided to turn on his creations, deeming them failures after they had lost their war with the Movellans. He unleashed the Movellans' virus on the Daleks which had rescued him in the hopes of him curing the virus. (TV: Resurrection of the Daleks) The Daleks ultimately cured themselves of the virus which, by one account, granted them immunity to a space plague which they made an ill-fated attempt to exploit in the Exxilon Gambit. (PROSE: The History of the Daleks) Other accounts indicated that this incident took place earlier in the Daleks' timeline. (PROSE: Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe, Dalek Combat Training Manual)

After his attempt to exploit Lorraine Baynes' company was foiled by the interference of the Sixth Doctor, (AUDIO: Davros) Davros made his way to Necros. There he established himself in the Tranquil Repose as the "Great Healer", secretly exploiting the patients being kept in suspended animation by using them as subjects to be mutated into a new race of Daleks. (TV: Revelation of the Daleks)

Aftermath and legacy
En route to Skaro, the ship carrying Davros crashed on the planet Lethe. Davros set himself up as "Professor Vaso", altering the perceptions of the humans on the colony so they would not recognise him as the "Great Healer". He attempted to create a new machine, a Juggernaut based on a Mechanoid design. Under his Vaso guise, he also "befriended" Melanie Bush, whom he saw as a skilled programmer.

Lethe's atmosphere prevented the Supreme Dalek retrieving Davros directly, but its forces intercepted the Sixth Doctor's TARDIS, forcing him to serve as an agent of the Daleks and stop Davros's researches and manipulations. The Doctor discovered two of Davros's Necros Daleks had survived the crash, but were destroyed following Davros's final gambit on the colony and the Supreme Dalek's intervention. Davros himself was left badly injured by Mel after she reprogrammed several Juggernauts into attacking him, and his self destruct system in his chair was activated leading to the destruction of the colony. (AUDIO: The Juggernauts)

According to some accounts, Davros was then taken to Skaro, to be put on trial by the ruling Dalek Emperor (COMIC: Emperor of the Daleks!) and a jury of Daleks. (PROSE: The Shoreditch Incident) The Time Lords would later question if several of the Daleks Davros had created on Necros were present on Skaro during this time, helping to explain how one portion of the Dalek race eventually accepted him as their leader after the trial. (PROSE: Dalek Combat Training Manual)

Following his capture on Necros, Davros was transported to Skaro. One account had held that the trial was a deliberate ploy by the Black Dalek in order to draw out and exterminate Davros's remaining followers on behalf of the Emperor. Davros himself was executed by use of matter transmitter, though he correctly predicted that the Daleks would be doomed without him, with the failure of the Time Destructor Incident followed by the Human Factor Incident causing a new Dalek Civil War which brought about the Final End of the Daleks. (PROSE: The History of the Daleks) Another account held his trial was a trial of leadership, with him being granted command of the Daleks after a show of loyalty in exposing a Thal spy who had infiltrated his transport en route, revealing she had supplied him with a sample of the Movellan virus that he had chosen not to unleash. (AUDIO: The Davros Mission) Yet another had Davros being put on trial for his crimes before the Dalek Emperor, only to escape to Spiridon with the aid of the Sixth Doctor, who was playing his part in a scheme of his future self. On Spiridon Davros rediscovered an entombed Dalek army which he converted to his control. With this army he faced the forces sent by the Emperor to recapture him and invaded Skaro, claiming the title of Emperor for himself and instigating the Imperial-Renegade Dalek Civil War. (COMIC: Emperor of the Daleks) Davros' Daleks, known as the Imperial Dalek faction, matched the colour scheme of those he had originally created on Necros. (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks)

"The days of Davros and his humane work on Necros" were recalled by Seg of the Orcini New Daleks. (PROSE: War and Peace)

In the post-Time War universe, this incident was covered as a part of known Dalek history in The Dalek Conquests, a documentary which was itself produced following the Van Statten Incident on Earth in 2012. (AUDIO: The Dalek Conquests)

Behind the scenes
The Terrestrial Index claimed that Davros was captured on Necros relatively shortly following the Duplicate Incident, around the beginning of the 28th century, and somehow escaped the fate the Daleks had in store for him, continuing the production of Imperial Daleks before, eventually, he based himself on either the original Skaro or New Skaro. In any case, the Imperial Daleks' Skaro was destroyed in 2960.

The Discontinuity Guide claims that Davros arrived on Necros 100 years following his rescue by the Daleks. It goes on to speculate that, whilst under interrogation during his incursion on Skaro, the Fourth Doctor had told Davros about the Human Factor Incident, which influenced him to convert humans into Daleks on Necros, Davros' conclusion being that, by possessing some of the Human Factor, the Daleks will not be slaves to logic and thus not be drawn into an impasse as they had with the Movellans.

AHistory speculatively dates this incident to 4615.

According to The Doctor Who Role Playing Game: The Master, it was in 82,450 TL (11,742 AD) that the Master "liberated" Davros from the Daleks whilst they were taking him to their leaders for judgement following his attempt to create his own new Daleks. Davros and the Master forged a brief alliance in which the Master committed himself to supply the means of controlling the Daleks in exchange for the cooperation of Davros in creating new and more powerful Dalek forces for the conquest of Mutter's Spiral. This plot was defeated by the Colonel, with the Daleks of Skaro themselves doing much to checkmate the schemes of the two villains. Davros was recaptured by the Daleks, while the Master retreated to his hidden base.
