Skaro

Skaro is the fictional homeworld of the Daleks in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. First introduced in the 1963 serial "The Daleks," Skaro is depicted as a harsh and war-torn planet. Its environment is often described as desolate and toxic, with a bleak, rugged landscape. Over its history, Skaro has been subjected to numerous conflicts, most notably the thousand-year war between the Kaleds and the Thals, which led to the creation of the Daleks by the Kaled scientist Davros.

The planet's surface is characterized by barren plains, rocky outcrops, and a perpetually overcast sky. In many depictions, Skaro is shown to have a polluted atmosphere, making it inhospitable to most forms of life without protective measures. The Kaleds, the indigenous sentient species that eventually evolved into the Daleks, were a militaristic and technologically advanced race. Their society was driven by a desire for genetic purity and absolute domination.

The fate of Skaro has varied throughout its appearances in Doctor Who. At times, it has been destroyed, only to be restored or recreated. Its existence is intrinsically linked to the Daleks and their relentless pursuit of conquest. Skaro serves as a stark reminder of the destructive potential of war and unchecked ambition, a bleak cradle for one of Doctor Who's most iconic and feared alien races.
