Two specific events led up to the outbreak of the war: a peace treaty was attempted by President Romana under the "Act of Master Restitution". This attempt was followed by the "Etra Prime Incident" ("The Apocalypse Element"), which some say "began the escalation of events". Weapons used by the Time Lords included Bowships, Black Hole Carriers and N-Forms (the last from Davies' 1996 New Adventures novel "Damaged Goods"), while the Daleks wielded "the full might of the Deathsmiths of Goth" (from the comic strip story "Black Legacy" by Alan Moore and David Lloyd), and launched a massive fleet led by the Emperor into the vortex.
