Cult of Skaro



The Cult of Skaro (named after Skaro, the original homeworld of the Daleks) was a secret group of four Daleks - three Standard Dalek models, one Black Dalek model - assigned with the task of "[finding] new ways of killing". They were responsible for the planning the Dalek actions in wars such as the Last Great Time War. Unlike other Daleks, they had individual names in order to lead to more creative thinking. Led by Sec, the only one of four who had a black casing, they answered to no one, not even the Dalek Emperor, although they still revered him. (DW: Doomsday)

History
Little is known of the Cult of Skaro, although they were created by the Dalek Emperor during the Last Great Time War, and after the destruction of the Dalek race during the War the Cult waited in the Void Ship, a craft designed to traverse the space between universes, along with what they called the Genesis Ark, a piece of Time Lord technology. (DW: Army of Ghosts / Doomsday, Daleks in Manhattan)

The meddling of the Torchwood Institute began to open the Void. At some point the Void Ship materialized in Torchwood Tower, which had been built around the gap into the Void so that Torchwood 1 could study it. When the Void Ship materialized, the Cult exited the ship and declared war - or "pest control" - against the Cybermen, thereby leading to the Battle of Canary Wharf. (DW: Doomsday)

After the Battle, the Culot escaped to 1930 New York City, and ordered the construction of the Empire State Building, and began the Final Experiment - the creation of the Human Daleks. (DW: Daleks in Manhattan / Evolution of the Daleks)
