- You may be looking for the oceanic planet of the same name.
Antalin was a planet which served as a decoy for Skaro.
Profile
During the 22nd century Dalek invasion, the Daleks discovered records which showed that Skaro had been destroyed during the Imperial-Renegade Dalek Civil War. The Seventh Doctor apparently had destroyed Skaro using the Hand of Omega. (PROSE: War of the Daleks)
- The destruction of Skaro occurred in the future, though the Doctor did not leave the 1963 time zone. See the Shoreditch Incident.
After an unsuccessful attempt to change history, the Daleks realised that history could not be altered and Skaro would have to appear to be destroyed.
To fool Davros and the Doctor into thinking Skaro had been destroyed, the Daleks terraformed Antalin to resemble Skaro. Davros was moved from Skaro to Antalin and placed inside a replica of the Kaled bunker. The Daleks also created a race of robots called the Movellans and manufactured a war with them, before reviving Davros. It was Antalin which served as the location for the Doctor and Romana's encounter with the Daleks and which was destroyed by the Hand of Omega. (PROSE: War of the Daleks)
The terraformed Antalin appeared to be a desolate world with much rocks and some grass. The ruined Kaled Dome and bunker were also recreated. For some reason, a Kaled mutant was found by the Fourth Doctor. (TV: Destiny of the Daleks, PROSE: War of the Daleks)
The real Skaro survived, probably being destroyed (TV: Daleks in Manhattan) or left in ruins (GAME: City of the Daleks, TV: Asylum of the Daleks) in the further stages of the Last Great Time War.
