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.

Dalek casings
Daleks with cone-shaped luminosity dischargers 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.

A number of Dalek "paradigms" have been introduced over the years. Dalek types are notably identified in the Dalek Combat Training Manual. Dalek Combat Training Manual suggests that in the "early period" of Dalek history, Dalek drones were silver, constructed from raw Dalekanium, and fitted with "low-frequency" blue sense globes. Though "paradigms" generally follow one another, stories such as the The Magician's Apprentice establish that older Dalek models may continue to serve beyond their "prime".
 * Type I Daleks, as originally seen in The Daleks are Daleks without slats.
 * Type II Daleks, as originally seen in The Dalek Invasion of Earth, a form of slatless Dalek distinguished by solar energy collection discs and enlarged Dalek fenders.
 * From the Type III Dalek onward, Dalek have slats; the "Type III" Dalek drones are silver Daleks with blue sense globes.
 * Type IV Dalek drones are grey with black sense globes, a replication of Davros's Mark III Travel Machine prototypes.
 * Type V Daleks are silver Daleks with black sense globes as seen in Death to the Daleks.
 * Type VI Daleks or "Necros Daleks" refers to the initial army created by Davros in opposition to the Skaro-faction Daleks as seen in Revelation of the Daleks.
 * Type VII Daleks, succeeding the Necros Daleks, are the Imperial Daleks loyal to Davros as seen in Remembrance of the Daleks.
 * Type VIII Dalek drones are bronze with a refined "new series" shape including cone-shaped luminosity dischargers. They are generally associated with the Last Great Time War and beyond, though stories such as Prisoner of the Daleks and Out of Time establish that they were active in pre-Time War history.
 * "Type IX" is the larger casing type associated with the New Dalek Paradigm.

Skaro
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)

Davros
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.

What happened to Davros after TV: Revelation of the Daleks and before TV: Remembrance of the Daleks, as well as what happened after Remembrance of the Daleks is complicated but not impossible to reconcile. The conflicting accounts of Davros' ascension to Emperor of the Daleks and dismemberment in Emperor of the Daleks, the sequence of events depicted in The Juggernauts, The Davros Mission, and the framing narrative of I, Davros cannot be reconciled and will therefore be treated as three separate timelines resulting from the Time War.

However, Davros' personality is replaced by an Emperor Dalek in Terror Firma, but various accounts date Remembrance of the Daleks, which Terror Firma is a sequel to, before the Time War. Indeed, it is apparent that Davros was restored to his original personality before Father of the Daleks, in which he joins the Dalek war effort.

This can be reconciled with Palindrome (audio story) where it is revealed the post Time War Davros we have seen is actually an amalgamation of different versions of Davros throughout the multiverse. This also explains why he can use his organic eyes in The Witch's Familiar (TV story)

Time Lords
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 of the Daleks.

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

Time travel
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.

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.

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.
