Lytton betrays Daleks for Special Guard

Lyton’s Special Guard is summoned as a rapid-response force answering only to him, not to Dalek command. Their impending arrival on the scene shifts the balance of power, allowing Lytton to operate with de facto independence and to resist immediate punishment for his defiance.

A rising emergent power challenging Dalek dominance on the ship, acting as a private enforcement wing for Lytton’s interests

Institutional Impact

Influence Mechanisms

Controlled deployment of armed personnel loyal to Lytton rather than Dalek hierarchy Tactical use of breach points and internal communications to bypass Dalek protocols
