The CyberFaction was an offshoot of Cybermen that diverged from the CyberMondasians.

History
The CyberFaction left Mondas and headed for Planet 14 of the Sol system, eventually developing into separate groups without connection with to the CyberMondasians. (NA: Iceberg)

By 1970 or before, the CyberFaction led by a Cyber-Planner (NA: Iceberg) had established a base on the dark side of Earth's Moon. The Cyber-Planner had contacted the industrialist Tobias Vaughn, the head of the International Electromatics corporation. The Cybermen had him install mind control circuits in electrical appliances manufactured by his company, paving the way for a ground invasion. They had also grafted cybernetic arms onto several of his workers. Vaughn had a Cyber-Planner installed in his office and communicated with it. The plot was uncovered by the newly formed UNIT and by the Doctor who assisted in beating off the invasion both on the ground and from the Cyberman base on the Moon. (DW: The Invasion)

After the destruction of Mondas, parts of the CyberFaction became CyberNomads and left Sol to explore the Mutter's Spiral. (REF: Doctor Who: Cybermen)



In the middle to late 21st century, two Cybermen of the CyberFaction invaded the Space Station W3, intending to use it as a beacon for their invasion fleet. The Second Doctor freed the crew from the Cybermen's hypnotic control and destroyed their fleet. (DW: The Wheel in Space)

In 2070, by which time Earth's weather was being controlled by the Gravitron installation in the Moonbase, Cybermen planned to use the Gravitron to disrupt the planet's weather patterns and destroy all life on the planet to eliminate it as a threat. However, they were foiled by the Doctor. (DW: The Moonbase)

Later, the CyberFaction abandoned the Sol system and journey into the galaxy to colonise a suitable planet. They eventually found one, Telos, which they colonised in 2175, resulting in the CyberTelosians. (REF: Doctor Who: Cybermen)
