A Dalek saucer commander, or spaceship commander, (PROSE: Dalek Combat Training Manual) was the designated commander of the Dalek flying saucer.

History[]

In Bedfordshire during the 22nd century Dalek invasion of Earth, the First Doctor encountered a saucer commander, which served as the second-in-command to the Supreme Dalek. Unlike Dalek drones, the Saucer Commander had a unique casing featuring a black dome and alternating black-and-silver panels on the base unit. The commander, along with the Supreme Dalek and the Dalek fleet, was destroyed at the climax of the invasion by the uprush from the exploding penetrative explosive capsule. (TV: The Dalek Invasion of Earth) In the version of history "B", a red Saucer-Pilot Dalek served in the 2150 Dalek invasion of Earth. (PROSE: Dalek Survival Guide, TV: Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.)

A Dalek saucer commander led a saucer to destroy satellites during the Cold War, hoping the Americans and the Russians would blame each other and the conflict would escalate. It exterminated a Dalek for questioning an order. However, the Dalek saucer was infiltrated by the Third Doctor, who contacted a submarine, the HMS Pandora, and ordered it to fire on the ship. The Daleks, including the Saucer Commander, died as the ship flooded. (COMIC: The Threat from Beneath)
