Kaled City Under the Dome (Primary Habitat Dome)

The Kaled City Under the Dome is the primary exposed habitat dome on Skaro's scarred surface, located four miles from the fortified underground bunker. Kaleds inhabit this dome amid constant bombardment from Thals, its shell vulnerable compared to the bunker's deep protection. The dome serves as the political and strategic heart of Kaled society, housing the Kaled Council Chamber (where leaders like Mogran and Ravon preside) and anchoring Kaled politics. Soldiers cite it as a strategic target reachable by hidden service tunnels toward Davros's labs, where gas attacks leave propped corpses. The dome's vulnerability and the complacency of its leaders (e.g., Mogran's secret meeting against Davros) heighten threats to Davros's isolated laboratory power base. The dome's fate is tied to the genesis of the Daleks and the war between Kaleds and Thals.

Davros' Paranoia Unleashed: The Double Threat of Betrayal and Escape

The Kaled Dome is the off-screen location where Mogran’s secret meeting takes place, and where the escaped prisoners (Sarah Jane and Sevrin) are revealed to be attending. Though not physically present in the laboratory, the Dome’s role in the scene is critical, as it is the site of political resistance to Davros’ authority. The Dome symbolizes the last bastion of opposition within Kaled society, where Mogran and his allies gather to challenge Davros’ genocidal ambitions. Its mention in Nyder’s report forces Davros to confront the reality that his control is not absolute, and that external forces are actively working against him.

Atmosphere

A tense, clandestine environment where whispered conversations and urgent planning take place, far from the prying eyes of Davros’ loyalists.

Functional Role

Meeting place for secret negotiations and political strategy, serving as a hub for resistance against Davros’ Dalek project.

Symbolic Significance

Represents the fragile hope of opposition within Kaled society, a counterpoint to Davros’ tyranny.

Access Restrictions

Restricted to invited councillors and trusted allies; heavily guarded to prevent infiltration by Davros’ spies.

Dimly lit chambers where the meeting takes place, casting long shadows and creating an air of secrecy. The distant sounds of Thal bombardment, a constant reminder of the war raging outside. The presence of escaped prisoners (Sarah Jane and Sevrin) adding an element of urgency and defiance to the gathering.
