• Alternative Character Interpretation: Rather than just being the cold-blooded Omnicidal Maniacs of the TV series the Daleks here display a much wider, and often, quite surprising range of emotions and character traits such as loyalty to others and friendship, and in fact Xenol specifically references this as one of the things the Dalek race will lose if the Golden Emperor wins.
• Complete Monster: Not obvious at first due to his protagonist status but Xenol does order the destruction of Slepkt and its inhabitants via bombarding the planet with asteroids.
  • Your Mileage May Vary, he's still remains sympathetic after that and the devastation isn't really shown. That aside, he and everyone else in the webcomic is a Dalek, after all. Sometimes, we need a reminder of who they really are...
• Crowning Moment of Awesome: Where do we begin?
  • Xenol’s fight back to his gunship after failing to exterminate the Golden Emperor.
    • Anzollo performing a gunship rescue… while on the ground.
  • Anzollo outmaneuvering combat hoverbouts with a gunship.

Xenol: Anzollo, you now have a dorsal turret. Special Weapons Dalek Jukk: EXTERMINATE!!

• • Evading and crippling the much-larger battlesaucer with two troopers' Self Destruct Mechanisms. And, who, incidentally, survive.
  • Agent 700 escaping the Second Empire base.
  • Second Empire vs the Imperial Legion. Ready, set, EX-TER-MINATE!
  • Davros making an entrance.
  • The First Empire's second invasion.
• Crowning Moment of Funny: Like Leslie Nielsen in Airplane!, simply having a Dalek act as anything other than a poker faced Straight Man seems to result in Hilarity Ensues.

Zlonozite: All defence turrets apart from C2 are raised, engineering Daleks are working on it now. Dalek Engineer: There is sand fouling the pistons, I need a tin of 'Silicone-Gone' and the big hammer.

• • Yttral, just... Yttral.

Yttral: Ah Emperor, there you are, I have been looking for you everywhere. Xenol: Everywhere except in my throne room, apparently.

• Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: When Xenol asks his troopers to volunteer for a potential suicide mission, just after their failed mission to Exterminate the Golden Emperor. All of them do.
  • And another one:

Xenol: Anzollo. It is very likely you will not be returning from this mission. You are and have been my friend, but if the Tyrant has his way future generations of Daleks will not even understand the concept of friendship. Anzollo: May the fates be with you Xenol.

• Tear Jerker: After the Heroic Sacrifice, you get this shot of most of the main characters looking at a screen full of static. No one says anything, and Xenol's eyestalk just droops...
