During this event, their fate is sealed as Davros reveals his intention to sacrifice the entire population—except for the Elite and the Daleks—in his 'battle for survival.' The Kaleds are represented indirectly through the Kaled Council, whose temporary suspension of the Dalek project is manipulated by Davros into a death sentence for their people. Their absence from the laboratory as Davros unveils his plan underscores their vulnerability, as they remain oblivious to the betrayal unfolding in their name.

Active Representation

Via the Kaled Council, whose unwitting actions (such as the temporary suspension of the Dalek project) are manipulated by Davros into a tool for their annihilation. The Kaleds are also represented by the genetically conditioned creatures, who are the first to be transformed into Daleks and, by extension, the instruments of their people’s destruction.

Power Dynamics

The Kaleds are in a position of utter powerlessness during this event. Their authority, as represented by the Kaled Council, is a facade, easily manipulated by Davros. Their fate is decided without their knowledge or consent, as Davros and the Kaled Elite conspire to ensure their extermination. The Kaleds are reduced to collateral in Davros’ grand design, their survival irrelevant to his vision of the future.

Institutional Impact

The Kaleds’ involvement in this event marks the beginning of their institutional collapse. Their trust in the Kaled Council and their belief in the Dalek project as a tool for survival are both betrayed, setting the stage for their annihilation. The event underscores the fragility of their society and the ease with which it can be manipulated by those in power.

Internal Dynamics

The Kaleds are deeply divided during this event, with factions such as the Kaled Council and the Kaled Elite pursuing conflicting goals. The Council, led by Mogran, seeks to rein in Davros’ ambitions and ensure the Dalek project is conducted responsibly, while the Elite, led by Davros, is fully complicit in his genocidal plan.

The Kaleds, as an organization, are effectively annihilated by Davros' betrayal and the Daleks' rise. Their dome is destroyed, their research repurposed, and their people sacrificed to birth the Daleks. Davros' declaration that 'all other research must cease' signals the end of the Kaleds as a scientific or political entity. Their organization, once the driving force behind the war, is now obsolete, replaced by the Daleks as the sole focus of Skaro's future.

Active Representation

Through Davros' proclamation (as the de facto leader of the Kaleds) and the implied absence of Kaled resistance (their dome in ruins, their people dead or fleeing).

Power Dynamics

Collapsed and obsolete; the Kaleds' power is entirely transferred to the Daleks, who now represent the future of Skaro.

Institutional Impact

The Kaleds' institutional structures are destroyed, their scientific and military legacy absorbed by the Daleks. Their organization ceases to exist as an independent entity, replaced by Davros' genocidal creations.

Internal Dynamics

None (the Kaleds are either dead, fleeing, or assimilated into the Dalek project).

Organizational Goals
None (the Kaleds as an organization are effectively extinct). Davros' goal: Ensure the Daleks inherit all Kaled research and resources, with no opposition.
Influence Mechanisms
Davros' absolute authority (declaring the Daleks' supremacy and ending all other research) The Daleks' genocidal efficiency (eliminating any remaining Kaled dissent or competition)

The Daleks' First Massacre: Peace Shattered, Exile Forced

The Kaleds, as an organization, are effectively abandoned by Davros as he declares the Daleks the sole focus of all future research. Their dome is destroyed, and their people are left to die, marking the end of their civilization and the beginning of the Daleks' dominance. The Kaleds' fate serves as a warning of Davros' ruthlessness and the Daleks' genocidal nature, with their extinction paving the way for the Daleks' rise.

Active Representation

Through their absence and the destruction of their dome, the Kaleds are represented as a failed experiment, sacrificed for the Daleks' success. Their organization is reduced to a handful of survivors, if any, with no hope of recovery or resistance.

Power Dynamics

The Kaleds are completely powerless, abandoned by Davros and left to die as the Daleks rise. Their power is stripped away, and they are reduced to a footnote in the Daleks' history of domination.

Institutional Impact

The Kaleds' organization is effectively destroyed, with their institutional structures and hierarchies dismantled. Their extinction serves as a cautionary tale of Davros' ruthlessness and the Daleks' genocidal efficiency, with no hope of recovery or resistance.

Internal Dynamics

The Kaleds' internal dynamics are reduced to survival and despair, with any remaining members scattered and powerless. Their organization is in shambles, with no leadership or structure to guide them.

Organizational Goals
Survive the destruction of their dome and the Daleks' rise, though their chances are slim to none. Seek refuge or resistance, though their organization is effectively dismantled and their people extinct.
Influence Mechanisms
None, as the Kaleds are abandoned and left to die. Their influence is nullified by Davros' declaration and the Daleks' dominance. The few surviving Kaleds, if any, may attempt to flee or hide, but their influence is negligible in the face of the Daleks' power.

The Doctor’s Reckoning: Davros Unmasked

The Kaleds are represented in this moment through the looming presence of Davros, their former scientist turned tyrant. Though the Kaled people themselves are not physically present in the corridor, their fate is inextricably tied to Davros’s actions and the Doctor’s moral dilemma. The Kaleds are a race on the brink of annihilation, their dome destroyed by the Thals and their survival contingent on Davros’s ruthless pursuit of the Daleks. Their absence in this scene is a stark reminder of the stakes: the Doctor’s decision to destroy the Daleks will erase the Kaleds entirely, while allowing them to exist will doom countless others to their genocidal war. The Kaleds’ influence here is indirect but profound, their plight serving as the moral backdrop against which the Doctor and Davros clash.

Active Representation

Through the looming presence of Davros, their former scientist and now tyrant, who embodies their desperation and moral decay. The Kaleds’ fate is also represented by the ruins of their dome and the toxic residue in the corridor, symbols of their impending annihilation.

Power Dynamics

Weakened and on the brink of extinction, the Kaleds are entirely at the mercy of Davros’s ambitions. Their power in this moment is negligible, their survival contingent on the Doctor’s decision to intervene or allow the Daleks to rise. The Kaleds are a tragic footnote in Davros’s grand design, their existence a casualty of his ruthless pursuit of conquest.

Institutional Impact

The Kaleds’ institutional structures have collapsed under the weight of war and Davros’s betrayal. Their once-great dome lies in ruins, and their people are on the verge of extinction. The Doctor’s decision in this moment will determine whether the Kaleds are erased from history entirely or allowed to persist as the creators of the Daleks, a race that will bring suffering to the universe for millennia.

Internal Dynamics

The Kaleds are fractured and desperate, their internal dynamics defined by betrayal and survival. Davros’s purge of dissenters like Ronson and Gharman has left them leaderless and divided, their once-united front now a shattered remnant of what they once were. Their internal tensions are a reflection of the moral decay that has consumed Skaro, a decay that the Doctor must now confront.

Organizational Goals
To survive the thousand-year war with the Thals, even if it means embracing Davros’s vision of the Daleks as their saviors. To avoid annihilation at the hands of the Thals or the Doctor, though their goals are ultimately subverted by Davros’s betrayal.
Influence Mechanisms
Through their desperate plight, which serves as the moral backdrop for the Doctor’s dilemma. Via the ruins of their dome and the toxic residue in the corridor, symbols of their decay and the cost of Davros’s ambitions. Through Davros’s embodiment of their former scientific pursuits, now twisted into a genocidal ideology.

The Doctor’s Reckoning: A City in Ashes, a Choice in Blood

The Kaleds are depicted as a fractured and desperate people, their civilization in ruins. Their organization is no longer a cohesive force but rather a collection of individuals and small groups fleeing the Daleks’ assault. The Kaleds’ involvement in this event is primarily symbolic, representing the consequences of Davros’s ambitions and the Doctor’s moral dilemma. Their presence in the ruins underscores the cost of unchecked power and the fragility of civilization.

Active Representation

Through the actions of fleeing soldiers and the ruins of their city. The Kaleds are represented by their absence of leadership and the chaos of their downfall, a stark contrast to their former status as a warring nation.

Power Dynamics

Weakened and subordinate. The Kaleds are no longer the dominant force on Skaro; they are victims of their own creation. Their power dynamics have shifted from aggressors to prey, and their survival is now dependent on the Doctor’s actions.

Institutional Impact

The Kaleds’ downfall highlights the dangers of unchecked scientific ambition and the ethical failures of their leadership. Their organization is a cautionary tale, demonstrating how power can corrupt and how creation can turn against its creators.

Internal Dynamics

Internal collapse. The Kaleds are no longer a unified people but a scattered, panicked population. Their internal dynamics are defined by survival instincts rather than loyalty or ideology.

Organizational Goals
To survive the Daleks’ assault and escape the ruins of their city. To avoid becoming collateral damage in the Doctor’s confrontation with Davros.
Influence Mechanisms
Through their desperation and disorganization, which serve as a reminder of the stakes for the Doctor. By their symbolic role as victims of Davros’s ambition, reinforcing the moral weight of the Doctor’s decision.
