During the 43rd Century the entire Dalek Fleet consists of at least 1,700 vortex capable ships. They are designated with names like Alpha Major. At the time of its destruction the Dalek fleet consisted of 10,000,000 timeships which (probably) held the entire Dalek race. Each Dalek warship can serve multiple function, including: bomber, troop transport, and cargo transport. Their ships are controled from the Astro Navigation Sector. In this room the pilots are connected directly to the flight systems with a positron linkage. Takeoff is usually proceeded by a countdown. When retracing known rounts (Memory Charts) Dalek ships navigate completely on automatic beng guided by the Command Unit computer. The Pilots are only needed when the ship has to deviate from a known course. Multiple Dalek units are supervised and coordinated from the Battle Command Room. Dalek leaders reily heavily on the ship's Command Unit computer when making decisions. Daleks ships keep in contact with Skaro and other Dalek outposts using sub-etheric signals broadcast from the saucers signal transmitter ring and power/communications spikes. As a back up they have "black box" recorders designed to survive the destruction of the ship. The ship's structure has many components made of Dalekenium and is held together withe heavy polycarbide rivets. Massiver computer cores and computer systems matricies are all liked by superconducting systems. Their outer hull is made of non-corrodable spaceship-grade dalekanium. The hull is protected by ship energy-shielding pulses and an acceleration compensator and several massive shield generator arrays. The radiation levels inside a ship are usually kept at levels that are unsafe for Humans. They are equipped with transmats (that require another terminal at the other end). They have a range of at least 300 kilometers. The Main Concourse is a room with an Atmos-Repro Globe capable of simulating other enviroments for visiting aliens. Food tablets for vistors are provided by a Nouromatic Machine. The Historical Survey Sector is a room devoted to the anlysis and archiving of alien cultures. They use forcefields to create cells for prisoners. Square metal plates appear to be used as keys to Dalek vessels. An Identity Check Machine verifies that all Travel Machines that enter the vehicle are being operated by a Dalek Mutant. Disposal chutes are used for ejecting undisired material.
Their ships are primarly are powered by fusion reactions that contained in bottles of gravito-magnetic force. Electromagnetic pulses cause the outer hull of the saucer to spin to provice movement. They can be repowered using Dalek Solar Power Stations. These reactors provide the energy for the ion-drive thrusters and Anti-Gravity Propellent Unit. They are capable of converting nuclear power into fuel. When inside of the Vortex Advanced Dalek ships are powered by Harmonic Energy (Artron Energy) from the Dalek's Eye of Harmony. Most Daleks ships have a Sucide Unit auto-destruct system which consists of a neutron bomb. Alternatively the reactors of several ships can be linked together to massively increase the yeild when all the ships self-destruct. Their warships have numerous small servo-robots (such as the ) that mantian and repair them. They have spherical escape pods.
Dalek warships have sensors (such as the Rad-Etheric Magnascope, and the Asteroid Avoidence Rods) that can detect a sparrow's fall at 15,000 kilometers. Their Defense Electron Shields can function as a cloaking system to protect them for scanners. However this signifcantly limits their top speed. Saucer size and larger Dalek warships are equiped with electronic jamming devices that can disable all communications over a continent sized area.
Beam weapons commonly found on Dalek craft include deep penetration Ion Cannons, Anti-Matter Drills, Photon Impellers, massive Neutralisers, Disruptors, and Partical Beam weapons. The most common bomb is the Firebomb (aka Firestorm Fission or Atomic Bomb) with a blast equivelent to a volcanic erruption. These are deployed against large ground targets such as cities. Small portable explosives exist with a blast equivalent to 10 kilotons. Their warships are also equiped with Neutron Bombs which wipe out organics but leave the infrastructure undamaged. Neutron Strikes can be used to detonate stars. They also have Famine Bombs (which use gas to destroy plant life). These warheads can be launched from torpeado ports in Target Seeking Missiles or via automated SpaceMine-Layers. The standard space mine has an infared tracker and an explosive radius of 8 miles.
The Daleks have developed magntise beams (that can trap escaping ships) and the Hallucitory Projector/Reciever, which uses ultrasonic hypno-sound to make targets see what the most fear or most desire.
Is what they say true? How strong are Dalek shields? How easily can they destroy planets?Then the Daleks use a De-mat gun as an instant kill...I'm talking about during the Time War where both sides mass produced them.
Basically, what are the capabilities of a Dalek saucer.
Thanks.
