Dalek Emperor
In The Evil of the Daleks (1967) the Emperor is presented as a towering, immobile, twelve-sided conical structure to which numerous umbilical cables are connected. Twelve large, black hemispheres girdle its midsection with a further two smaller, tan-coloured hemispheres being mounted horizontally on the chest. It has a predominantly white colour scheme with black detailing and speaks in an echoing, grating voice. Mounted on a plinth in a corner of the control room in the Dalek City on Skaro, it is destroyed when a civil war breaks out among the Daleks.
The Dalek Emperor was created by the BBC Visual Effects Department.
