At one point the [[Great Cyber War]] was waged between humanity and the Cybermen, led by the [[Super Controller]] on [[Telos]]. During this war, the [[glittergun]] was invented. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Last of the Cybermen (audio story)|Last of the Cybermen]]'') During this time the Cybermen were also involved with the [[Vogan War]]. During these conflicts, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Killing Ground (novel)|Killing Ground]]'', [[TV]]: ''[[Revenge of the Cybermen (TV story)|Revenge of the Cybermen]]'') The Cybermen attempted to blow up the planet [[Voga]] to stop the production of glitterguns, in one of their last acts in the war.

The Great Cyber War culminated in a final human attack on Telos. A Cyber fleet consisting of tens of thousands of ships intended to turn the tide of the battle was trapped in warp space at [[Planetoid X]] due to a Cyber-Planner malfunctioning. The human forces bombarded surface of Telos and the Super Controller was destroyed. Afterwards remnant groups of Cybermen fled across [[Mutter's Spiral|the galaxy]]. The [[Sixth Doctor]] theorised that, with the destruction of the Super Controller, these remnants would be less stable and more prone to emotions, such as revenge.

"Centuries" after the Cyber-Wars, the ship pursuing Voga finally caught up to the planet, now in orbit around [[Jupiter]], and infiltrated the nearby ''[[Nerva Beacon]]'' to launch their plans. The Cybermen’s attempt to destroy it was defeated and their craft and themselves destroyed due to the involvement of the [[Fourth Doctor]], [[Sarah Jane Smith]], and [[Harry Sullivan]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Revenge of the Cybermen (TV story)|Revenge of the Cybermen]]'') In another account of these events, a volunteer group of Cybermen infiltrated ''Nerva'' ''Beacon'' whilst it was in the asteroid belt, intending to collide it with an asteroid of gold which would destroy themselves in the process. They were foiled by the Fourth Doctor, Sarah Jane and Harry.

The Cybermen involved in the pursuit of Voga had records of the Doctor and regarded him as "a traditional enemy" of their race from "hundreds of Earth years" prior, but they failed to realise the Fourth Doctor was this foe; as noted by the [[Cyber-Leader (Revenge of the Cybermen)|Cyber-Leader]], the Cybermen believed the Doctor to be a human and therefore assumed he had died off centuries prior.
