Special Dalek forces

A  desert drone , designed entirely by Dalek science units was a Dalek although equipped with the same  bonded polycarbide armor  it had modified armor and equipment to withstand the harsh climates of deserts and extreme terrain ,as Daleks can be vulnerable to extremes of temperature and be slowed and impeded by harsh terrain ,

They like all Dalek  units inserted on a planet and not using aTransmat a Dalek landing craft or shuttle (a dedicated, armored, and maneuverable landing craft to transport Daleks directly into battlefields)  would land with mission specific equipment needed and units required , equipment could  include adapted  Hoverbout, (the Trans-Solar disc for transport ) a Mobile HQ , specific equipment /supplies to the mission

They were nearly identical to standard Daleks except they had additional programing  in specialized areas ( Technician ,Mining, Explosives, Data Computers, ) and advanced cooling systems in their Armour that offered the mutant protection from extreme heat the casing was completely sealed from the environment.  and anti clogging  filter even resistant to burial , polarized lenses built into the eye stalk as well as a standard eye with the wide  spectrum of site modes Infra red was omitted instead  there  was a special zoom , a built-in long range com link for extended missions far away from base  and different motive / anti grav units

Visual differences in armor included heat-reflective coating  lighter color different markings of black on the shoulders denoted different ranks , from the dark all grey leader at base to the mission specialists the all grey and grey with black slats ,collar or oval highlights, a specialist unit  there missions never required a supreme Dalek  they had a leader and own command structure and were a mission specific unit  , and as a specialized unit were interdependent and instead liaise with a mother ship via there special long-range  com links

They had the standard Dalek  heavy weapon gun stick with multiple modes of fire and standard manipulator arm that interfaced directly with equipment and sensor spheres as with previous casings, a number of different, interchangeable arm attachments were available for insertion into the arm sockets, and it could also be fitted with other mission specific equipment when necessary

The Dalek science units  are some of the oldest drones having developed Kaled mutants over many centuries with special intelligence and special computers and organic memory and computer gel packs  with all scientific knowledge acquired by the Dalek race studying, and in some cases, manipulating the nature of the galaxy ,they studied biology, chemistry, physics, or derivatives of these fields to the advancement of the Dalek empire and development of new technologies and equipment ,dedicated to research and development of new technology. It held a significant amount of influence in order to achieve its aims through other agencies within the Empire.

They unlike  Dalek  units inserted on a planet had there own saucer  a dedicated, armored, and maneuverable landing craft to transport Daleks wherever they want it even had limited time jump technology ,(this small scout craft sometimes even had its own dedicated  saucer commander red commanders were reserved for bigger saucer class but a black striped pilot  ) ,it was a remote exploration craft it would land with mission specific equipment needed and units required to study and take whatever materials were necessary or act as a advanced party if planet was important enough to await arrival of the Dalek fleet, this saucer was heavily armed and adapted with quad laser cannon and missile tubes capable of firing probes, seeker units ,satellites in high orbit  and ballistic missiles with any variety of war head they made from plague missiles to basic high yield explosives for sterilizing areas for research and study

They were nearly identical to standard Daleks with standard polycarbide armor except they had additional programing and computers  in specialized areas of scientific study  the eye stalk as well as a standard eye with the wide  spectrum of site modes there  was a special close optical system for study and analogizing , they had no targeting system they were not warriors  , the older mutant and personal life support systems were more vulnerable than most standard Daleks and prone to shorting out under internal duress

Visual differences in armor included the older silver steel base with  black  highlights , a specialist unit  there missions never required a supreme Dalek (they had a chief scientist in a blue casing ) they had a squad leader and own command structure and were a mission specific unit  , and as a specialized unit were independent and instead using advanced hyperlink communication  send there data for immediate analysis and study after mission conclusion ,often these craft could be sent far reaches of the galaxy and seldom heard from for long  extended periods, if ever again

They had the standard Dalek  heavy weapon gun stick with multiple modes of fire and standard manipulator arm that interfaced directly with equipment and sensor spheres as with previous casings, a number of different, interchangeable arm attachments were available for insertion into the arm sockets and special scientific instruments, capable of free thinking to they were able to create new weapons and equipment  if needed and had all facilities to do so on there specially adapted saucer
