At the start of the century, the Earth Empire was embroiled in the [[Orion War]] against the [[Orion android]]s. In [[2503]], after eight years of fighting, the war had reached a stalemate; to break it, the Earth Military sent an agent to the [[Garazone]] System to retrieve [[Cyber-Technology]] from a derelict [[Cyberman]] Star Destroyer leftover from the [[Cyber-Wars]]. The agent was in reality an android double agent, [[Deeva Jansen]], who wished to discover the secrets of [[Cyber-conversion]] to use on their human prisoners of war. The [[Eighth Doctor]] dissuaded her and saw to the destruction of the ship, and all the Cybermen aboard, in an [[ion storm]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Sword of Orion (audio story)|Sword of Orion]]'') Both sides continued to investigate Cyber-technology; the [[Seventh Doctor]] encountered android agents investigating a Cyber tomb on [[Tasak]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Kingdom of Silver (audio story)|Kingdom of Silver]]'') and the Earth Military set up the Scorpius project to research Cyber-technology.

Twenty years into the Orion War, Scorpius had fallen under the control of a [[Cyber-Planner]]. Scorpius arranged the rise of [[Karen Brett]] to Earth President and used her to seize control of the Earth Government, beginning Cyber-conversions under the guise of “special commando units”. Brett herself was eventually converted into a [[Cyber-Leader]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Scorpius (audio story)|Scorpius]]'', ''[[Fear (audio story)|Fear]]'', ''[[Conversion (Cyberman audio story)|Conversion]]'') and dispatched to awaken the [[Master Hibernation Unit]] adrift in the remains of [[Telos]].

Android forces, aided by Brett's former friend [[Liam Barnaby]], foiled the expedition. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Telos (audio story)|Telos]]'') With Brett lost, [[Cybrid]] [[Paul Hunt]] became the public face for the Cyber-Planner's regime on Earth and conversions accelerated, leading to a resistance forming. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Outsiders (audio story)|Outsiders]]'', ''[[Terror (audio story)|Terror]]'', ''[[Machines (audio story)|Machines]]'') The resistance helped android agent [[Samantha Thorn]] reach the Planner and she interfaced with it, persuading it that logically the Cybermen should withdraw from Earth as the situation would degenerate into a war they could not win. After leaving Earth, the Planner's forces were eventually ambushed in space by android ships. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Extinction (audio story)|Extinction]]'') | ||

In [[2540]], the Daleks worked with {{Delgado}} on [[Operation Divide and Conquer]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Dalek Conquests (audio story)|The Dalek Conquests]]'') planning to incite a second war between Earth and Draconia to pave the way for a Dalek conquest.

The Earth and Draconian Empires united to face the threat of the Daleks, beginning the [[Second Dalek War]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Love and War (novel)|Love and War]]'') though the two empires proved unwilling to cooperate meaningfully in the long term and the war protracted.

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Star Tigers (comic story)|Star Tigers]]'', [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Out of Time (audio story)|Out of Time]]'') Earth's worst criminals were given a choice between execution or joining the war effort as a [[Dalek Killer]]; among them was [[Abslom Daak]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Abslom Daak... Dalek Killer (comic story)|Abslom Daak... Dalek Killer]]'') The planet [[Heaven (Love and War)|Heaven]] was used as a burial site for both humans and Draconians.

([[PROSE]]: ''[[Love and War (novel)|Love and War]]'', [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Love and War (audio story)|Love and War]]'') The war lasted for over forty years and many planets were destroyed in the conflict.

With the [[Dalek Fleet]] having lost the initiative, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Prisoner of the Daleks (novel)|Prisoner of the Daleks]]'') the war ultimately "fizzled out".
