Plot[]

The End of the Daleks by Dokktor Whit-Arkker recounts the Dalek Civil War on Skaro, around the time of the Seventh Dalek Armada's defeat at the Battle of Gurnian. The Emperor Dalek was guarded by an army of Black Daleks who defended him against Daleks "infected" by the human Factor. The original Dalek plan was to travel back in time using the TARDIS of a runaway Time Lord and "infect" humanity with the Dalek Factor; instead, an army of Daleks infected with the Human Factor turned on their own Emperor, and a civil war broke out that destroyed all the Daleks, including the Emperor. Whit-Arkker notes that some say the Emperor survived.
