History

One Cyber-Fleet utilised a shuttle to retrieve Atriss and capture Lewis Price in the 1980s. (AUDIO: Hour of the Cybermen)

Another group of Cybermen used a shuttle near Windsor Castle in 1988 to locate the Nemesis statue, keeping two programmed humans on guard. Ace destroyed the ship with Nitro-9, and believing betrayal, the Cybermen executed the humans. (TV: Silver Nemesis)

In the immediate aftermath of the Cyber-Wars, Cyberfighters were used by the Cybermen to hunt down surviving humans. One Cyberfighter was used by the Lone Cyberman, while another was taken by the Thirteenth Doctor. (TV: Ascension of the Cybermen)
