In the early expansion of the Dalek Empire, reconnaissance scout units were sent ahead to desirable planets, gathering information on how to best conquer them before an invasion fleet was summoned. (TV: Resolution)
Following the defeat of the 2150s Dalek invasion of Earth and his exposure as a collaborator, Marcus Bray used a remaining Dalek flying saucer to try and summon the Dalek fleet back to a weakened Earth with Susan later using the ship to send another message that warned the fleet not to approach Earth. As a result of the saucer's damaged antenna however, neither message was actually sent to the fleet. (AUDIO: After the Daleks)
The Daleks launched over a thousand Dalek Saucers into the Time Vortex; these forces were stopped by the Eighth Doctor, who left them trapped in the vortex. (AUDIO: The Time of the Daleks) The Time Lords later made a deal with the Daleks that allowed them to leave the Time Vortex. (AUDIO: Neverland)
In the first year of the Time War, the Time Lords detonated a nearby star to destroy the Dalek fleet, hoping that the show of power would deter the Daleks from fighting. While the fleet was destroyed, the Dalek war effort continued. (PROSE: The Third Wise Man)
In the later years of the Time War, the Daleks massed a large time fleet at Omega One for a final attack on Gallifrey only to be destroyed by the War Doctor using a Time Destructor. (AUDIO: The Innocent) After Vassarian had been captured by the Sontarans, he manipulated them into attracting the Dalek fleet. After Vassarian died, disabling the Sontaran temporal defences, the Dalek fleet initiated an orbital bombardment of Rovidia, destroying the Sontaran compound. (AUDIO: The Eternity Cage) The fleet then fought off the Rovidian space forces, ultimately destroying them. (AUDIO: Eye of Harmony) After the Time Strategist's latest plan had left the Doctor without a TARDIS, the Strategist ordered the fleet to pursue him. During its hunt, the fleet destroyed Beltox. (AUDIO: Pretty Lies)
When the Doctor was at Grend, the Dalek fleet followed, only to be hampered by the effects of the Obsidian Nebula. Ultimately the fleet was forced to retreat, though the Strategist was confident in their ultimate plan. (AUDIO: The Enigma Dimension)
In the last moments, the Dalek fleet surrounded Gallifrey and were firing at it constantly. When thirteen different incarnations of the Doctor saved Gallifrey by placing it in a pocket universe, the planet's sudden disappearance resulted in the Dalek Fleet destroying itself in its own massive crossfire, though a Dalek Attack Ship was blasted away and survived. (TV: The Day of the Doctor) Reflecting on these events, the Doctor would later wonder if some of the fleet had fled at the sight of thirteen TARDISes and survived the fall of the Dalek Empire. (PROSE: The Day of the Doctor) In another account which saw the Eighth Doctor end the war, these ships were classed as warships. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Time War)
Post-Time War fleets[]
The Emperor's hybrid fleet[]
The Emperor barely survived the Time War aboard his heavily-damaged Flagship and was flung into the far future. In hiding for several hundred years, he slowly repaired the Flagship and created a new Dalek Fleet of 200 smaller saucers. By 200,100, he had almost half a million Daleks, including roughly 2000 Daleks aboard each of the smaller vessels. This fleet consisted of Daleks which were engineered using dead human cells. As such, they developed a twisted concept of religion, and the Ninth Doctor deemed them insane since they were hybrids who hated their own flesh. This fleet participated in the Battle of the Game Station and bombarded Earth, deforming whole continents. However, the Emperor, his entire fleet, and all the hybrid Daleks were divided into atoms by the Bad Wolf entity within Rose Tyler. (TV: Bad Wolf / The Parting of the Ways)
The final survivor of the original Dalek Empire, Dalek Caan, travelled back in time and rescued Davros from the Time War. Davros then used cells from his own body to create the New Dalek Empire. This new force consisted of a massive fleet centred around a planet-sized space station called the Crucible, all of which were hiding within the Medusa Cascade. A group of 200 flying saucers was dispatched from the Crucible and undertook the 21st century Dalek invasion of Earth in 2009. They succeeded, (TV: The Stolen Earth) and began the countdown on their reality bomb so that it could kill all life in every universe except for the Daleks. However, the New Empire was betrayed by Dalek Caan, and the Reality Bomb was disabled by the DoctorDonna. Then, the Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor used the hardware of the Crucible to overload the dalekaniumpower feeds. This caused the Crucible, the whole fleet, and the individual Daleks themselves to explode. (TV: Journey's End)
At Stonehenge, while scanning for ships, the Eleventh Doctor found Dalek ships in orbit and, thinking it was only the Daleks, stated that a Dalek fleet would have a minimum of 12,000 ships "armed to the teeth". This fleet was actually a part of a larger force known as the Pandorica Alliance. (TV: The Pandorica Opens)
Along with the rest of the universe, the resurrected Dalek Empire sent a fleet to Trenzalore in response to a repeating transmission in what would become known as the Siege of Trenzalore. Upon discovering that the signal was of Time Lord origin, the orbiting fleet called for reinforcements to attack the Papal Mainframe.
When turning Tasha Lem into a Dalek puppet allowed them to regain their memories of the Doctor, the Daleks committed the entirety of their might to preventing the return of the Time Lords, the fleet bombing the planet until its protective shield failed. By this time, the Daleks were the only aggressor remaining, with their fleet being reduced to the flagship of the Parliament. This last saucer was destroyed by the Doctor with his regeneration energy along with all the Daleks on the planet. It was later theorised that the fall of this fleet had been the final destruction of the Dalek race, but human historians concluded the Daleks survived. (TV: The Time of the Doctor, PROSE: Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe)
Half of the DalekEighth Fleet consisted of three killcruisers and twenty destroyers, which were destroyed when the planet Terakis was destroyed by a Thal bomb as a trap. (PROSE: War of the Daleks)
During the Dalek invasion of Omnia, a Dalek Supreme was delivered to the planet via a Dalek fleet. When the Sixth Doctor convinced the Dalek collaborator Carmen Rega to turn on her masters, she overloaded the fleet's vitanium supplies, destroying the flagship and unleashing a lethal amount of vitanium radiation that destroyed the escort ships. (AUDIO: Emissary of the Daleks)
Alternate timelines[]
In a timeline caused by a collision of two versions of the Doctor's TARDIS, the First Doctor never made it to Kembel, allowing the Daleks to complete the Time Destructor. With their weapon, the Dalek fleet travelled the universe, unleashing it on whatever world resisted. When the Dalek fleet arrived at Urbinia, they blockaded it to prevent the escape ships from launching. (AUDIO: Daughter of the Gods)
The Dalek Fleet was present on Minecraftia, surrounding a recreation of Gallifrey. It could be seen from the planet's rollercoaster. (WC: Doctor Who Minecraft)
