Dalek Supreme Orders Alien Ship Annihilation

The Great Alliance is indirectly referenced in this event through Dalek 1's report on the arrival of emissaries from the seven planets. While the Alliance itself is not physically present, its impending conference is a critical context for the Daleks' actions. The Supreme's focus on security—including the destruction of the alien spacecraft—reflects the Alliance's strategic importance to the Daleks' invasion plans. The event underscores the Alliance's role as a key asset, but also hints at the Daleks' paranoia, as they are willing to eliminate even potential allies if they pose a risk.
