History

Skaro was a planet that was the twelfth inhabited world in its solar system where it came to develop two sentient forms of life with these being the Thals and the other being the Kaleds. (Episode: The Daleks)

Davros was a Kaled child who grew up in the midst of the War. The Twelfth Doctor, accidentally landing in the middle of the War, once passed the young Davros his sonic screwdriver to speak to him across a minefield of handmines, not realising who he was going to grow up to be until the boy said his name. The Doctor reconsidered helping Davros get out of the minefield, and later, a future version of the Twelfth Doctor arrived on Skaro and pointed a gunstick at Davros in an attempt to save his friend, "the only way [he could]". (Episode: The Magician's Apprentice) He then proceeded to destroy the handmines and save Davros to teach him the concept of mercy before taking him home. (Episode: The Witch's Familiar)

Technology had devolved in this time. A Scientific Elite governed the Kaleds. By this phase of the war, biological and nuclear weapons had begun to cause mutations known as Mutos. (Episode: Genesis of the Daleks) The Thals also underwent many mutations as a result of the War, though they eventually reverted to a humanoid form similar to their original one. (Episode: The Daleks)

The Fourth Doctor, transported to this time period by the Time Lords to prevent a possible future where the Daleks would rule the universe, was given the chance to destroy the first incubating Dalek embryos but feared that he had not the moral right to wipe an entire species of sentient lifeforms from history, never mind how infamous. The Doctor nevertheless played a part in entombing these early Daleks in their bunker, from which he hoped it would take them centuries to escape. The Daleks still survived and promised to re-emerge. (Episode: Genesis of the Daleks)

As part of his machinations, Davros sought to capture the stellar manipulator known as the Hand of Omega and use it to turn Skaro's sun into a source of unimaginable power. However, the Doctor reprogrammed the device to journey into the star and cause it to undergo a supernova thus seemingly destroying it. (Episode: Remembrance of the Daleks)
