The Dalek drones created by Davros were genetically different from
the Daleks of the Time War. Each was created from a cell of Davros' own form rather than from
the original Dalek genome created in the bunkers on Skaro. Davros constructed casings for his new
Dalek race from the same specifications and materials as had been used before the Time War, with
the same manipulator arms as their predecessors. A number of Drones were tasked with maintaining a
close watch on Davros in the Vault. These were equipped with a different manipulator that was
designed not only to interface with ship's systems but also to extract genetic material from
Davros with which to create new Dalek units when required.
