Necros Dalek

The Necros Daleks (AUDIO: The Juggernauts) were the Daleks created by Davros on the planet Necros. They were an early prototype of the Imperial Daleks. Referring to their model of casing, the Time Lords used the term Type VI Dalek to describe them. (PROSE: Dalek Combat Training Manual)

Appearance
In contrast to the drab grey and black Renegade Daleks, the sleeker Imperial Daleks had casings with white livery with gold sense globes and high-pitched, scratchy voices. The prototype models built by Davros on Necros retained the classic eyepiece and suction cup manipulator arms, but also featured rounder bases. (TV: Revelation of the Daleks) The Time Lords suggested that these prototypes were based on the structure of the Type V Daleks seen during the Exxilon Gambit, themselves modifications of the Type III Dalek.

History
Davros created a new race of Daleks at the Tranquil Repose funerary complex on Necros, using parts from cryogenically frozen bodies. Some, like Arthur Stengos, he decapitated, modified and placed — still living — into a Glass Dalek casing. During the conversion process, Stengos' personality alternated between that of a human and that of a Dalek. (TV: Revelation of the Daleks)

Davros created several thousand of these Daleks. (PROSE: Revelation of the Daleks) Orcini set off an explosion in Davros' bunker, killing many of the prototype Imperials. Other Daleks loyal to the Supreme Dalek then apprehended him and the surviving Necros Daleks, intending to take Davros to Skaro for trial whilst the Necros Daleks were to be reconditioned to obey the Supreme Dalek. (TV: Revelation of the Daleks) The Time Lords suspected that some of these Necros Dalek survivors could have been present on Skaro during the trial, speculating that they were the Daleks who helped Davros cement his control and establish the Imperium.

Behind the scenes

 * Four props were constructed to portray Davros's Daleks in Revelation of the Daleks. Ironically, these were later repurposed to function as Renegade Daleks while four new props portrayed the Imperial Dalek drones in Remembrance of the Daleks.
