History
Origin
In the 26th century, a new subspecies of Cyberman was proliferating throughout the galaxy of Mutter's Spiral. This subspecies would be identified by ArcHivist Hegelia as CyberNeomorph, which she believed to have been created through a combination of Cyber-technology after a group of surviving CyberNomads found the planet Telos and awoke the CyberTelosians in their tombs. (PROSE: Killing Ground, AUDIO: The Ultimate Cybermen)
Invasion
In the year 2526, several planets would unite in war against the Cybermen in an event called the Cyber-Wars. A force of Cybermen tried to devastate Earth using a Cyber-bomb and convert the survivors. Failing this, they hoped to crash the freighter into Earth and cause an ecological disaster. Although the attempt failed, the freighter was catapulted back in time to become the "meteor" that wiped out the dinosaurs. (TV: Earthshock)
Aftermath
Following the destruction of Briggs' freighter, the Fifth Doctor used the TARDIS to return the surviving human crew to their own time. Nyssa reported that the Cyber-Fleet had dispersed. (TV: Time-Flight)
Whilst its body was destroyed, the Cyber-Leader's core processing was downloaded to another unit. It attempted to recover a partially-converted Marc for use in espionage but was thwarted once again by the Fifth Doctor, whom it called a hypocrite for resorting to violence. Reprogrammed medical nano-drones invaded the Cyber-Leader's body, breaking down its conditioning and causing it to remember its past life, driving it mad. (AUDIO: Conversion)
