Cyberman
Biological type:	Cyborgs (originally human or Near-human)
Appearances:	DW: A Good Man Goes to War

The Cybermen were a race of artificially modified human or near-humans, commanded by Cyber-Lords. By an unknown point in time, they were a major power in space, possessing at least twelve fleets.

History

By some point in the 52nd century, possibly the 51st century, the Cybermen's Twelfth Cyber Legion was well-known to monitor everything within 20,000 light years of the Church's base of Demon's Run. The Eleventh Doctor and Rory Williams invaded the Legion and destroyed part of it in order to blackmail the Cybermen into giving them information on the whereabouts of Amy Pond - and as a message to the abductors. The Church's rank and file were intimidated by the Doctor's action. (DW: A Good Man Goes to War)

Behind the Scenes

• Like the Cybermen in the Adventure Games, the Cybermen here have the visual elements of the Cybus Cybermen, but the trappings and fleet of the original Cybermen. Director Peter Hoar has stated that these are "different Cybermen" in terms of appearance, as they don't have Cybus Industries logos, but is currently unknown if they have any relation to the Mondasian, Cybus or Adventure Games Cybermen. It is possible that these and the Adventure Games Cybermen are the same race, and that this race was born from an alliance of Cybus Cybermen and the original Cybermen, wich would explain the Cybus model bodies without the Cybus Industries logo, and the original Cyberman fleet
