Scientific Elite

Scientific Research and Internal Regime Opposition

Description

The Scientific Elite comprises high-ranking scientists who openly oppose Davros's leadership. Nyder identifies them as a key source of growing internal dissent, reporting their public criticism to Davros during an interrogation. This group challenges Davros's authority from within his scientific establishment, forcing him to manage the threat alongside military unrest rather than launching preemptive strikes. Their vocal resistance underscores fractures in Davros's support base among his own elite researchers.
