Place of Origin: Skaro
Description:
The Kaleds were one of the two warring civilisations on Skaro. Dominated by Davros and the scientific elite, the Kaleds fought a thousand year war with the Thals, and like their enemies fought themselves to the point of collapse. From laser weapons and synthetic webbing, shortages forced them to fight in animal skins with antiquated muskets.
In order to break the deadlock, Davros and his pseudo-facsist followers sought to develop a transportation unit for the mutants they calculated the Kaleds would eventually turn into, while Skaro grew into a devastated wasteland.
In the meantime their enemies the Thals built a missle designed to destroy the Kaled city and hence Kaled civilisation forever. The Kaleds, now known as Dals, finally faced extinction following the detonation of a neutron bomb that turned what was left of their planet into a sterile world of mutants and petrified forests.
The Dals, by now a race of teachers and philosophers, retreated into a huge city, where they mutated into the creatures predicted by Davros. Housing themselves in the travel machines invented by the scientist, the Dals slowly evolved into the hateful Daleks.
