In [[1985]], [[26th century]] [[Neomorph]] [[Cybermen]] from [[Telos]] infiltrated [[Earth]]. This was recorded by [[ArcHivist]] [[Hegelia]] as a subtle '''"[[Cyber-invasion|second invasion]]"'''. ([[TV]]: ''[[Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)|Attack of the Cybermen]]'', [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Early Cybermen (audio story)|The Early Cybermen]]'') | In [[1985]], [[26th century]] [[Neomorph]] [[Cybermen]] from [[Telos]] infiltrated [[Earth]]. This was recorded by [[ArcHivist]] [[Hegelia]] as a subtle '''"[[Cyber-invasion|second invasion]]"'''. ([[TV]]: ''[[Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)|Attack of the Cybermen]]'', [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Early Cybermen (audio story)|The Early Cybermen]]'') | ||
By one account, the Cybermen were based on Telos in [[2507]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Cyber Files (novel)|The Cyber Files]]'') | |||
== History == | |||
=== Background === | |||
{{main|Colonisation of Telos}} | |||
As the [[Sixth Doctor]] and [[Gustave Lytton]] mutually understood, the [[Cybermen]] adopted [[Telos]] as their new [[home planet]] following the [[destruction of Mondas|destruction]] of the original [[Cyber-planet]], [[Mondas]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)}}) during an [[1986 Cyberman invasion of Earth|ill-fated attack]] on [[Earth]] by the [[Mondasian Cybermen]] in [[1986]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Tenth Planet (TV story)}}) The Cybermen were led by the [[CyberTelosian Controller|Cyber-Controller]], whom the Doctor believed to have been [[Expedition to Telos|destroyed]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Tomb of the Cybermen (TV story)}}) | |||
[[ArcHivist]] [[Hegelia]] hypothesised that, following the incident, a group of [[CyberNomad]]s following the [[pursuit of Voga]] came across Telos, reopened the Telosian tombs and helped to forge the new race of Cybermen, the [[Neomorph]]s, which proliferated during the [[26th century]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Killing Ground (novel)|Killing Ground]]'', [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Early Cybermen (audio story)|The Early Cybermen]]'') During their attempt to [[Cyber-invasion (Earthshock)|destroy]] Earth in [[2526]], the Neomorph [[Cyber-Leader (Earthshock)|Cyber-Leader]] consulted the [[history computer|records]] of [[the Doctor]]. Among other incidents, he recalled the [[Second Doctor]] confining the Cybermen to their tombs on Telos. The 2526 attack was intended to destroy an [[interstellar conference]] held on Earth in which the [[head of state|heads]] of many powerful [[planet]]s would sign a [[pact]] uniting their [[military]] forces in a [[Cyber-War (Earthshock)|war]] against the Cyber-race, a war which both the [[Fifth Doctor]] and the Cybermen themselves understood they could not win. After this attempt was foiled, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Earthshock (TV story)}}) the [[main Cyber-Fleet]] was dispersed. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Time-Flight (TV story)}}) | |||
=== Legacy === | |||
In [[Infinity Doctor's reality|one state of reality]], the [[Infinity Doctor]] cited the Cybermen destroying Earth before the [[human]] race had reached its full potential as a threat to [[Established History]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Infinity Doctors (novel)|The Infinity Doctors]]'') | |||
== Behind the scenes == | |||
* ''[[Doctor Who: Cybermen]]'' states that the [[Neomorph]]s of [[Telos]] were from around the [[year]] [[26th century|2530]], following the [[Cyber-invasion (Earthshock)|failed attempt to destroy Earth]] in [[2526]]. | |||
* ''[[TARDIS Cam (series)|TARDIS Cam]]'', a feature of the classic [[Doctor Who website]], also dated the event to 2530. | |||
* In ''[[A History of the Universe (reference book)|A History of the Universe]]'' and the first two editions of ''[[aHistory]]'', the event is arbitrarily dated to 2530, as it is set after ''[[The Tomb of the Cybermen (TV story)|The Tomb of the Cybermen]]''. The third edition redates it to circa [[2495]], based on evidence from the ''[[Cyberman (audio series)|Cyberman]]'' audio series concerning the [[destruction of Telos]]. | |||
