The Vatican was still a significant power. One Pope of this era was a clone grown from the DNA taken from one of St Peter's fingernails. N-v23 once tried to steal the Turin Shroud from the Vatican.

Legends of Bernice Summerfield existed into this century; although by this time, they were vague and contradictory. An archaeological expedition to discover Summerfield's remains was undertaken by Stev Grayson, Kent, Gould, and N-v23. An elderly Bernice Summerfield joined this expedition without any of the others realising her true identity. (PROSE: Paydirt)

Dalek-Movellan War[]

Battle for Movellanship

The Battle for the Movellan ship. (TV: Destiny of the Daleks)

The Daleks were embroiled in a centuries long war with the Movellans that was fought across time.

(PROSE: Dalek Combat Training Manual)

(TV: Destiny of the Daleks) Davros was handed over to the custody of the Earth Protection Corps, a successor to the Space Security Service. Davros nearly escaped when the ship transporting him crash landed on Kembel, having fallen foul of battling Dalek and Movellan forces after slowing to rescue the Tenth Doctor and Anya Kingdom, (AUDIO: The Dalek Defence) however Earth Protection forces subsequently recaptured him. (AUDIO: The Triumph of Davros) Davros was sentenced by humanity to remain in suspended animation.

(PROSE: Dalek Combat Training Manual) It later transpired that this was not the only Dalek to be transported to the Death Zone, as several others were later encountered by the Fifth Doctor in another part of the zone. (AUDIO: The Five Companions) Scrutinising Dalek history during the Last Great Time War, the Time Lords believed that the Daleks had at some point became aware of their losses to the Time Scoop, which they regarded as an act of aggression which helped to trigger the Time War. (PROSE: Dalek Combat Training Manual)

Davros wide shot

Davros moves to assert control over the Daleks. (TV: Resurrection of the Daleks)

In 4590, (PROSE: Resurrection of the Daleks) 90 years after the expedition to Skaro, the Supreme Dalek led an effort to rescue Davros in the hopes he might provide a cure for the Movellan virus. Davros instead deemed his creations failures and turned against them, wanting to start again. (TV: Resurrection of the Daleks) This schism would lead to Davros founding his own faction of Daleks in the next century, (TV: Revelation of the Daleks, PROSE: Dalek Combat Training Manual) culminating in the Imperial-Renegade Dalek Civil War. (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks)
