Humanity doesn't know their name. Doesn't know their goals. Doesn't know the full extent of their powers. Doesn't know their homeworld. In fact, humanity doesn't even know their name. The name Myloki was chosen simply so their enemy could be called something rather then just "the enemy". All humanity does know is that the Myloki are inimitable to human life. For whatever reason, humanity has earnt the ire of the Myloki, who engaged in both an open "invasion" and a more subtle infiltration and conversion of humanity. Through the use of bombs and other terror tactics, the Myloki defeated and humiliated humanity and it's defenders. For whatever reason, they stopped their attacks after a bomb was detonated on the moon, at their nominal 'base'. However, the devastation left in their wake left a human race on the verge of extinction, cities in chaos and the defenders desperate to ensure that the Myloki could never return and in terrified apprehension that at any moment that might.

As far as the Doctor is aware, Myloki are incomprehensible. Even to him as a Time Lord. However, the way he describes them, as being something so totally opposite to anything he's encountered before is eerily similar how the entities in  [[Zeta Minor]] ([[DW]]: [[Planet of Evil]]) are described. It's possible that there is a link between the Myloki and the entities beyond the matter/antimatter boundary.

As part of the covert war, a number of humans were taken and duplicated and infused with Myloki intellect, two such individuals were created. Both were indestructible, one remained under the thrall of the Myloki and earnt the nickname "Captain Death" due to the fact none who faced him survived, the other the titular Indestructible Man who regained his humanity. As part of the terror campaign, people were converted into "Shiners", they became feral, their skin leathered and their eyes glowed. The war finally ended in 2068, when a bomb was detonated on their base on the Moon. Following the war there was vast social and economic upheaval.
