===Origin===
Following his exile from [[Gallifrey]] by the [[Twelfth Doctor]], [[Rassilon]] discovered an [[asteroid]] [[colony]] of [[Cyberman|Cybermen]] at the [[end of the universe]]. Inspired by the Cybermen's will to survive even at the end of [[N-Space]], and after discussions with the [[Cyber-Leader (Supremacy of the Cybermen)|Cyber-Leader]], Rassilon proposed an [[alliance]] with the Cybermen, which they accepted. The Cybermen [[Cyber-conversion|converted]] Rassilon into the "[[Cyber-President]]", and together, they forged the [[Gallifreyan Cyber Fleet]] and launched an invasion of the [[Capitol]] on Gallifrey. Sometime during the invasion, Rassilon hijacked the [[Eye of Harmony]], killing all of Gallifrey's [[TARDIS]]es and preventing the [[Time Lord]]s from launching a fleet of [[Battle TARDIS]]es in defence.

While the Gallifreyan Cyber Fleet attacked the Capitol, both on ground-level and in the air, Rassilon and a squad of Cybermen transmatted directly into the Capitol, and killed numerous Time Lord [[soldier]]s and the [[Lady President (Supremacy of the Cybermen)|Lady President]]. While Rassilon ordered the Cybermen to capture the Time Lords in the Capitol and take them to the Eye of Harmony's chamber, [[the General]], who was a part of the Time Lord squad guarding the Lady President, teleported into the [[Undercity, Capitol|Undercity]] and rounded up several surviving Time Lords into the [[Tomb of Rassilon]], the only area on Gallifrey that the Gallifreyan Cyber Fleet could not breach.

In [[2006]], the Cybermen launched a full-scale invasion of Earth. By seeding Earth's atmosphere with an airborne, microscopic [[techno-virus]], the Cybermen transformed Earth into the [[Cyber-Earth]] and converted humanity into [[Cyber-Warrior|Cyber-Warriors]] in only three [[day]]s. The [[Ninth Doctor]], [[Rose Tyler]] and [[Jack Harkness]] rescued [[Jackie Tyler]] from a large [[Cyberdog (Supremacy of the Cybermen)|Cyberdog]] and crashed their [[flyer]] into [[St Paul's Cathedral]]. In an attempt to recover the Doctor's TARDIS, the [[TARDIS control console|console]] exploded and the [[TARDIS]] began imploding. Whilst the Doctor and Jackie escaped back to the flyer, Rose was suddenly cyber-converted and killed Jack; when he used his [[sonic screwdriver]] on Rose, the Doctor was attacked by the Cybermen's techno-virus and was partially converted. In a final desperate attempt to stop the Cybermen using the virus to convert and invade other planets, the Doctor attempted to rupture the [[Heart of the TARDIS]] and destroy the Earth. However, the power was suddenly diverted to the [[Eye of Harmony]] on Gallifrey by the Cybermen, who had seized control of the Eye during their invasion of Gallifrey at the end of the universe. The cyber-converted Rose then broke into the TARDIS and prepared to kill the Doctor and Jackie. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Supremacy of the Cybermen (comic story)|Supremacy of the Cybermen]]'')

=== Destruction of the Sontaran Empire===
=== Destruction of the Sontaran Empire===
By the [[24th century]], the [[Cyber-Empire]] of the [[Cybus Industries|Cybus Cybermen]] had successfully annihilated several of the universe's most powerful species and planets, including the [[Rutan Host|Rutan]]s, [[Alpha Centauri (planet)|Alpha Centauri]], and nearly the entire [[Sontaran Empire]]. This was largely due to the [[Gallifreyan]] [[teleportation]] technology the Cybermen had acquired, which the [[Tenth Doctor]] believed was destroyed completely during the Last Great Time War, which granted the Cybermen the ability instantly materialise entire armies of Cybermen onto a planet, allowing for invasions of far greater efficiency than with traditional invasion fleets.

The Tenth Doctor was captured, along with [[Gabby Gonzalez]] and [[Cindy Wu]], from the now-empty [[Cosmomart]] by the [[Tenth Sontaran Battle Fleet]] to serve as the [[Sontaran]]s' [[Field marshall|field marshal]] against a Cyberman invasion of [[Sontar]], the last remaining world in the Sontaran Empire. After causing the [[Imperial Flagship]] to crash on Sontar, a huge army of Cybermen teleported above the planet's surface and commenced their attack, with the aim of gaining control of the Sontaran cloning factories to produce an infinite supply of [[Mondasian]]s for conversion. In an attempt to gain an advantage, Gabby and Cindy distracted one of the attacking [[CyberKing]]s by flying a stray Sontaran pod near it; when the Doctor believed that Gabby and Cindy had been killed, he crashed his own Sontaran pod into the CyberKing's control [[throne]]. After wiring himself into the CyberKing's throne, the Doctor, consumed with [[rage]], destroyed the other two CyberKings, only to be intercepted by a Cyber-Ark, which commenced full planetary conversion of Sontar.
