Galactic Council

"In a large darkened conference room are the representatives of the seven galaxies. The representatives are gathered round a semi-circular table, each with their own lectern, on top of which is a representation of the solar system. The centre of this is a large, bright light representing the Sun. Around it, on the surface of the table, are concentric rings representing the orbits of the planets - the planets themselves each being represented by a light."

The Galactic Council was made up of emisaries of the six Outer Galaxies with the Daleks.

Profile
The black Dalek Supreme had established the Galactic Conference to conquer the Solar System. They had their headquarters on Kembel, with a secret underground base containing thousands of Daleks prepared for war. The representatives met in a city on the jungle planet in the year 4000. On the Council, the Black Dalek represented the Daleks. Malpha, Beaus, Gearon, Sentreal, Trantis and Warrien made up the other council members. Though not present then, Zephon, master of the Fifth Galaxy had persuaded Beaus and a new delegate, Celation, to join. The Human Marc Cory, an agent of the Solar System's Space Security Service discovered them and recorded a warning before his extermination by Daleks. (DW: Mission to the Unknown)

The Daleks' Master Plan, set about six months later, shows the seventh conference, adding the traitorous Human Mavic Chen, the supposed Guardian of the Solar System, to the Alliance in order to obtain the taranium core needed to complete the Time Destructor they would use to take over the galaxy. Chen acted as the informal leader, along with the Black Dalek. The Daleks requested a time machine to be sent from Skaro to pursue the Doctor and retrieve the taranium core after its theft.

At the final conference, with the six surviving delegates of the Galactic Council, Mavic Chen tried to take over the Council. The alliance ended when Mavic Chen and the Daleks turned against each other. (It is possible that both parties intended to betray each other all along.) The Dalek Supreme left the delegates fighting amongst themselves and ordered them to be imprisoned in the headquarters, planning to destroy the headquarters with them inside. However, Sara Kingdom and Steven Taylor freed them, and the Doctor stole the Time Destructor and by operating it destroyed the Daleks by reversing time on the planet. (DW: The Daleks' Master Plan)



Behind the Scenes
In the transmitted version of Mission to the Unknown, only Malpha and the planet Gearon are named. The John Peel Target Books novelisation of the story included in The Daleks' Master Plan Part 1: Mission to the Unknown, uses the names established in the The Daleks' Master Plan itslef.

A 1980 non-canon fanzine novelisation of Misssion to the Unknown names members of the alliance as Malpha, Desmir, Stifka, Hjbuj, Pteron, Dbremen and Leemon.
