Object
Dalek Time Vessel
The primary Dalek temporal transportation and containment vessel, housing the taranium core and continuum stabilizers. Serves as a mobile base for Dalek operations, a prison for captives (Steven, Sara, the Monk), and a critical narrative device in the Daleks' Master Plan. The Doctor and companions consider it as a desperate escape option after the TARDIS fails, highlighting its dual role as both an enemy asset and a potential salvation. Distinct from internal subsystems like communication devices.
