In Destiny of the Daleks, they appear to have abandoned Skaro.

Skaro appears in the Big Finish Doctor Who audio stories The Mutant Phase and Davros ( where we learn that Skaro had two moons: Falkus and Omega Mysterium, names drawn from a chart of Skaro's solar system in a 1976 Marks and Spencer tie-in book-Falkus is there revealed to be an artificial planet created by the Daleks as a last refuge ), and was where the Emperor Dalek operated from in The Genocide Machine, and features prominently in the I, Davros spin-off series, looking at Davros's life and the events that led to him creating the Daleks.

* Similarly, this story states that the Daleks require radiation in order to live at all ( leading to them trying to further irradiate Skaro ); later stories, including the immediate sequel, show them operating without heavy background radiation.

It also claimed that the Dalek / Movellan war ( and indeed most of Dalek history before the destruction of " Skaro ") was actually faked for Davros's benefit ; the Daleks had discovered records of Skaro's destruction during their conquest of Earth, but, unable to change history, had developed an elaborate plot to bring the recorded events about while ensuring Skaro's survival.

Skaro is also the setting for the Peter Cushing feature film Dr. Who and the Daleks ( 1965 ) which is generally regarded as non-canonical, although the story in the film is a copy ( with some changes ) of the serial The Daleks ( naturally shortened since a feature film does not have the same running time as a 7-episode serial ).

Davros had hoped to use the Hand to transform the sun of the Dalek homeworld Skaro into a power source for time travel.

The story initially leads the informed viewer to identify the figure speaking to Ratcliffe and commanding the renegade faction as Davros, and to identify the imperial faction with the Daleks who captured Davros at the end of Revelation of the Daleks, with the stated intention of taking him to Skaro for trial.

They find that Skaro is a war-torn planet ; a generational war of attrition between the Thals and the Kaleds for dominance of the planet has laid waste to its surface and ecology.

However, Maxtible, who has travelled to Skaro through the mirror cabinet, is discovering just how ruthless the Daleks are and how empty their promises can be ; he is tortured for his failure to bring the Doctor to them.

Once they escape back to the TARDIS, their second trip takes them to the planet Skaro, where they encounter the Daleks for the first time.

The Doctor began taking a more scheming and proactive approach to defeating evil, using the Gallifreyan stellar manipulator named the Hand of Omega as part of an elaborate trap for the Daleks which resulted in the destruction of their home planet, Skaro.

The Daleks send a request to Skaro for a time machine, in order to pursue the Doctor.

They were used as a location for the planet Mecron II in an episode of Blake's 7, and in Doctor Who they were used in the story " The Underwater Menace " and then as the planet Skaro in the serial " Destiny of the Daleks ".

Upon learning of what Davros had established on Necros, the Skaro forces decide to continue to control the galaxy's demand for famine relief.

When he first encounters the Fourth Doctor in Genesis of the Daleks, Davros is the chief scientist of the Kaleds, one of two native sentient races of the planet Skaro.

Both Skaro and the Imperial Dalek mothership are apparently destroyed ( in the future ) when the Seventh Doctor tricks Davros into using the Time Lord artifact known as the Hand of Omega which makes Skaro's Sun go supernova.

Skaro is a fictional planet from the British science fiction television series Doctor Who created by the writer Terry Nation as the home planet of the Daleks and, at times, the centre of the Dalek Empire.

When the Doctor first visits the planet in the 1963 serial The Daleks, Skaro is a nuclear wasteland, whose principal features are a petrified forest, the endless highly acidic rain, a lake containing the results of Davros ' early experiments, and the Dalek city, Kaalann.

At the start of the 1996 Doctor Who television movie, the Master is put on trial on Skaro by the Daleks and exterminated.

Doctor Who serials that take place on Skaro or feature Skaro prominently are The Daleks, The Evil of the Daleks, Genesis of the Daleks, Destiny of the Daleks and Remembrance of the Daleks.

In the Eighth Doctor Adventures novel War of the Daleks by John Peel it is revealed that Skaro had not in fact been destroyed by the Seventh Doctor's actions.

After an attempt to change history ( in Day of the Daleks ) is unsuccessful, they terraform the planet Antalin to resemble Skaro and manipulate Davros and the Doctor into ensuring that Antalin was destroyed in the original's place.

" Let's Go ( To Planet Skaro )" was the third single released by UK punk rock band The Shapes and concerned the wedding reception of the Doctor on the planet.

In City of the Daleks, the Doctor and Amy go to Skaro to put the natural Earth timeline back on track because the Daleks had killed the Human Race in 1969 via the Eye of Time.

An article by Russell T Davies in the Doctor Who Annual 2006 states that Skaro, like Gallifrey, was devastated at the end of the Time War.

Despite this, Skaro makes an appearance in the first episode of Doctor Who: The Adventure Games, entitled " City of the Daleks ".

The Eleventh Doctor subsequently goes to Skaro, discovers the Eye, and releases it back into the Time Vortex before the Daleks find it, thus negating Skaro's post-nova survival outside the Time War and restoring the proper timeline.

At the start of " Asylum of the Daleks ", the Eleventh Doctor is summoned to Skaro by Darla von Karlsen ( a human converted into a Dalek " puppet ").

However, the Doctor had altered the Hand's programming so that instead of enhancing Skaro's sun, the Hand turned it supernova, obliterating Skaro and, presumably, the Daleks themselves.

The Doctor Who Magazine comic strip story Emperor of the Daleks ( DWM # 197 -# 202 ) also attempts to fill in this gap, with Davros conquering Skaro and also explaining how his remains came to be housed in the Emperor Dalek shell while the Big Finish Productions audio adventure The Juggernauts presents an alternate version of Davros's activities in the period between Revelation and Remembrance.

* The Eighth Doctor Adventures novel, War of the Daleks by John Peel, claimed that Skaro had not been destroyed after all ; having discovered records of Skaro's destruction during their invasion of Earth, the Daleks moved Davros to another planet while he was in stasis after terraforming it to resemble Skaro, thus allowing the destruction of ' Skaro ' to take place on their terms.

Furthermore, Dalek Caan mentions in " Daleks in Manhattan " ( 2007 ) that Skaro was destroyed in " a great war ", leaving more doubt as to the actual moment of its destruction ( Russell T Davies referred in Doctor Who Confidential to the events of Genesis of the Daleks as the first strike of the Time War, so Caan might be referring to the events of Remembrance in this context ).

The Thals are a fictional race of humanoid aliens from the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, originating on the planet Skaro.

One of the podcasts, Podshock, originates out of New York while another popular Doctor Who podcast, Radio Free Skaro, originates entirely out of Canada.

* Doctor Who: Radio Free Skaro

The BBC book Doctor Who Files: The Cult of Skaro states that Dalek Sec ’ s black casing is constructed from ‘ Metalert ’, an enhanced form of Dalekanium reinforced with flidor gold and sap from the extinct Arkellis flower.

* Jast, a member of the Cult of Skaro in Doctor Who.

In the revived Doctor Who series an elite group of Daleks known as the Cult of Skaro is introduced, tasked with finding new ways of exterminating their enemies, and of ensuring the survival of the Dalek species should the Empire be destroyed.

Skaro also features prominently in the first episode of the seventh series, " Asylum of the Daleks ".

However in the Dalek Empire series ( possibly set after Skaro's destruction in Remembrance of the Daleks ) there is no appearance of Skaro and the Daleks are now operating instead from the Seriphia Galaxy.

( Although the planet is not named in the film, in its sequel it is retroactively revealed to be called Skaro, matching the name given in the television series.

What happened to the Thals after this is not revealed in the series, though in Destiny of the Daleks ( 1979 ) Skaro was shown to be an abandoned planet.

Neither novel was particularly well received by fans of the series, due in part to Peel's rewriting of Dalek history as had been seen on screen in the television series ( in particular the destruction of Skaro in Remembrance of the Daleks ), to bring their story more in line with Nation's wishes than with how television writers subsequent to Nation had depicted them.
