Hi all! I’m new here and I mainly came to ask a question.
See, I’m planning to write a fanfiction set in the Third Dalek War. The trouble is, looking on the wikia, the continuity for this time period is up the wall!
At the same time an alliance of various species were steadily pushing back the Daleks almost to the point of extinction over a thousand years (the Great War, featured in The Evil of the Daleks, origin of the war in The Dalek Master Plan), the Third Dalek War (The Chase novelisation), also known as the Great Catastrophe (Dalek Empire)was happening, and the Daleks were winning (and in the Great Catastrophe series, they were winning by miles). Additionally! Humanity represented by the Terran Federation was winning in the Great War at the same time that we were barely surviving as ruled by the Earth Alliance in the Third Dalek War/Great Catastrophe and we were also ruled by the Second Great and Bountiful Human Empire, in which there was no mention of the Terran Federation or the Great War in the episode with that Empire because it was focused on the Ood enslavement (Planet of the Ood). I know it’s the Great War because The Planet of the Ood takes place before 4162 when the Great Catastrophe happened.
Can someone please help? Assume that I’ve not actually seen or read a synopsis for anything. My only idea is to somehow combign all three governing bodies, make it so we win the Great War at the start and push the Daleks out of the Milky Way, then in 4162 they retaliate and we then nearly get defeated, only to push them back again an this time win. However, The Great Catastrophe says that it took 25 centuries for the galaxy to recover even to the point of re-gaining inter-stellar travel. So I don’t think I can make things go that bad.
Any help is extremely welcome.
