Attributes

Daleks are small genetically engineered octopus-like creatures with a large percentage of their body being brain. Individual Daleks possess genius-level intellects.

For the most part, Daleks dwell within individual vehicles. These vehicles carry sufficient armor to easily resist twentieth century small arms, with later models being outfitted with shield systems. They also carry an energy weapon and a plunger-like appendage for manipulation. Early models of these flat-bottomed machines ran on wheels or tracks concealed beneath the "skirt", but more recent models use a form of antigravity system to hover a few centimeters, although they can elevate themselves higher to deal with more problematic terrain such as stairs.

History

Daleks are native to the Planet Skaro, where they were developed by a scientist/inventor named Davros to fight in an ongoing war.

Organization

The Leader of the Dalek Empire was the Dalek Emperor.

Dalek society is highly militaristic at every level and a key aspect to most Dalek behavior is a preception of complete and utter superiority to all other forms of life. Genetically engineered to be xenophobes, the ultimate aim of the Daleks is to wipe out all other forms of life in existence, and they will stop at nothing to achieve this goal.

Threat Assessment

The Daleks pose an extreme risk to any civilization which they come across. In addition to their individual armaments, they have fleets of heavily armed warships and technology that allows them to travel through time.
