 At the start of the century, the Earth Empire was embroiled in the [[Orion War]] against the [[Orion android]]s. In [[2503]], after eight years of fighting, the war had reached a stalemate; to break it, the Earth Military sent an agent to the [[Garazone]] System to retrieve [[Cyber-Technology]] from a derelict [[Cyberman]] Star Destroyer leftover from the [[Cyber-Wars]]. The agent was in reality an android double agent, [[Deeva Jansen]], who wished to discover the secrets of [[Cyber-conversion]] to use on their human prisoners of war. The [[Eighth Doctor]] dissuaded her and saw to the destruction of the ship, and all the Cybermen aboard, in an [[ion storm]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Sword of Orion (audio story)|Sword of Orion]]'') Both sides continued to investigate Cyber-technology; the [[Seventh Doctor]] encountered android agents investigating a Cyber tomb on [[Tasak]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Kingdom of Silver (audio story)|Kingdom of Silver]]'') and the Earth Military set up the Scorpius project to research Cyber-technology. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Scorpius (audio story)|Scorpius]]'')
-Twenty years into the Orion War, Scorpius had fallen under the control of a [[Cyber-Planner]]. Scorpius arranged the rise of [[Karen Brett]] to Earth President and used her to seize control of the Earth Government, beginning Cyber-conversions under the guise of “special commando units”. Brett herself was eventually converted into a [[Cyber-Leader]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Scorpius (audio story)|Scorpius]]'', ''[[Fear (audio story)|Fear]]'', ''[[Conversion (Cyberman audio story)|Conversion]]'') and dispatched to awaken the [[Master Hibernation Unit]] adrift in the remains of [[Telos]]. Android forces, aided by Brett’s former friend [[Liam Barnaby]], foiled the expedition. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Telos (audio story)|Telos]]'') With Brett lost, [[Cybrid]] [[Paul Hunt]] became the public face for the Cyber-Planner’s regime on Earth and conversions accelerated, leading to a resistance forming. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Outsiders (audio story)|Outsiders]]'', ''[[Terror (audio story)|Terror]]'', ''[[Machines (audio story)|Machines]]'') The resistance helped android agent [[Samantha Thorn]] reach the Planner and she interfaced with it, persuading it that logically the Cybermen should withdraw from Earth as the situation would degenerate into a war they could not win. After leaving Earth, the Planner’s forces were eventually ambushed in space by android ships. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Extinction (audio story)|Extinction]]'')

 Early in the century, the [[Sontaran]]s and the [[Rutan]]s took [[Rutan-Sontaran War|their war]] to [[Chelsea 426]]. The [[Tenth Doctor]] stopped the Rutans and the Sontarans left before the colony collided with a [[Great White Spot]]. The Doctor prevented this as well.

 In [[2540]], the Daleks worked with {{Delgado}} on [[Operation Divide and Conquer]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Dalek Conquests (audio story)|The Dalek Conquests]]'') planning to incite a second war between Earth and Draconia to pave the way for a Dalek conquest. The [[Third Doctor]] and [[Jo Grant]] discovered the plot and managed to alert the humans and Draconians. ([[TV]]: ''[[Frontier in Space (TV story)|Frontier in Space]]'') With the aid of the [[Time Lord]]s, the Doctor pursued the [[Gold Dalek (Day of the Daleks)|Gold Dalek]] to [[Spiridon]].
