Behind the scenes

• The Discontinuity Guide dates the pursuit of Voga to the late 27th century. In the aftermath, the Cybermen were forced to consolidate their position on Telos, where they experimented with time travel. After acquiring an alien time vessel, the Cybermen made a failed attempt to destroy Earth and save Mondas in 1986. Then, in what was potentially their "last ditch plan", they travelled to the 26th century in an abortive attempt to change the outcome of the Cyber-Wars.
• The Dalek Handbook claims that grey Daleks succeeded the silver Daleks as drones following the Dalek Civil War, dated to the 41st century, and that their presence in the 26th century Operation Divide and Conquer and the Spiridon campaign was indicative of continued operations to overwrite history in the Daleks' favour, with the silver Daleks seen in the Exxilon Gambit being 27th century-native Daleks that had been subsumed into future Dalek forces.
