Planet Skaro"
Skaro was the homeworld of the Kaleds and the Thals, devastated by the Thousand Year War. It was during this conflict that Davros created the Daleks, who took Skaro for themselves.
ASTRONOMICAL DATA
Skaro was located in the Seventh Galaxy It had a similar atmosphere, climate and gravity to Earth, though it was plagued by sulphuric rain.
It was the twelfth planet from its sun.Skaro's nearest neighbour was a planet called Alvega.
LANDSCAPE
Skaro had a single large continent on which the Kaleds and Thals evolved. The continent was divided in two by an immense mountain range Accounts like Genesis of Evil seem to conflict with this somewhat, showing Daleks and Thals living on different continents.
A jungle once grew near the Dalek City. Following an exchange of neutron bombs, the jungle was petrified.
Much of Skaro was a wasteland, devoid of all life after centuries of war.Radiation levels across most of the planet remain high.
There were less irradiated plateaus where the Thals lived.
Hydrothermal activity was indicated by the presence of place names like "Geyser Swamp". However all bodies of liquid may not have been composed of water. At least one river was known to be comprised of sulphuric acid, and the geysers in Geyser Swamp spewed mercury, rather than steam.
The planet was known to have polar ice caps. The mountains at one of the poles were known as the Polar Mountains.
NATIVE LIFE
All Skarosian life had DNA, which was fundamental type 467-989. Most of Skaro's animal and plant life became extinct as a result of the Thousand Year War.Some of the survivors included the Varga plants and Slythers The Lake of Mutations was home to a variety of life-forms, including the terrorkon.
At least one area of the planet was inhabited by large dinosaur-like creatures.
Another Skarosian life form were magnedons, most perished in the war leaving the landscape littered with their metallic exoskeletons.
Several sentient species evolved on Skaro, including the Dals, Tharons, Kaleds and Thals. By the time of the Thousand Year War, the Tharons and Dals had died out.
The Mutos were mutated Kaleds and Thals.
