Alaska (spaceship)

The Alaska was a spaceship that crashed into the Dalek Asylum and launched several escape pods to the planet's surface.

There were at least two survivors: one of them was named Harvey, who died soon after on the frigid surface and was reanimated by the nanocloud field, becoming a Dalek puppet along with the other crew members who died on impact. The other was Oswin Oswald, who was able to use a ladder and descend below the surface of the planet, but was later captured and fully converted into a Dalek.

She managed to retain her human consciousness within a delusion of life however, believing she had set up camp in the cockpit of the Alaska, (TV:  Asylum of the Daleks)
