Timeline

 * According to some accounts, humanoid Telosians convert themselves into Cybermen. (TV: The Doctor Falls, PROSE: Doctor Who and the Cybermen, Doctor Who and the Tenth Planet) According to other accounts Telos is colonised by space-faring Cybermen from Mondas. The date of the colonisation is disputed, taking place either prior to the destruction of Mondas in 1986 (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Cybermen) or as a direct result of the destruction of Mondas. (TV: Attack of the Cybermen, PROSE: Attack of the Cybermen) According to Hegelia's CyberHive, the Faction only colonised Telos after failing to destroy Earth in 2070. (AUDIO: The Cyber Nomads)


 * Late 25th century - TV: The Tomb of the Cybermen/PROSE: Doctor Who and the Tomb of the Cybermen
