Dalek Section Leaders were Daleks in charge for scientific researches and Dalek operations on many planets the Daleks conquered.
History[]
The original Dalek hierarchy established by the Dalek Prime designated Red Daleks as section leaders. (PROSE: The History of the Daleks) Other accounts established that the Dalek Prime and the Black Dalek Leader were supported by a single Red Dalek Leader who was lost in the Time Destructor Incident, (COMIC: Eve of War, The Dalek Trap, PROSE: The Mutation of Time) after which multiple Red Daleks were in service by the time of Operation Human Factor. (PROSE: The Evil of the Daleks)
The Dalek Survival Guide identified the black-domed Silver Daleks active in the Human Factor Incident as "section leader Daleks". (PROSE: Dalek Survival Guide) The Emperor himself designated them as Black Dalek Leaders. (TV: The Evil of the Daleks) Other accounts identified them as Elite Guard Daleks or Imperial Guard Daleks. (PROSE: Prisoner of the Daleks, Birth of a Legend, AUDIO: Order of the Daleks)
A grey Section Leader was tasked on Spiridon to experiment invisibility before it was killed by a Dalek Supreme for failing to meet its mission's objectives. (TV: Planet of the Daleks) A Dalek Section Leader was present on the planet Galacton. (PROSE: Mission to Galacton)
Behind the scenes[]
- The Dalek Handbook places the grey "Dalek Leader" position as seen in Planet of the Daleks as subordinate to the Gold Commander, itself subordinate to the Dalek Supreme.
