Invader (All Tomorrows)

The Invaders are an unknown alien race that attempted to invade the homeworld of the Bug Facers.

Biology
Almost nothing is known about the biology of the invaders, only that their native environment appears to be identical to that of the Bug Facer homeworld.

Culture and society
Almost nothing is known about the society of the invaders, other than they are willing to invade inhabited planets for unknown reasons, although the fact that they brought native flora to the Bug Facer homeworld strongly suggests that they intended to colonize. However, they only have one known invasion attempt. This could imply that the attack on the Bug Facer's homeworld was their first and only invasion attempt, and that their forces were depleted after the failed assault.

Technology
The invaders are known to have achieved interstellar travel and orbital bombardment.

History
At some point after the Bug Facers developed advanced technology, the invaders attempted to capture their homeworld, possibly for colonization purposes. After a series of intense orbital and ground-based battles, the invaders were fought off and retreated, never to be seen again. However, they had managed to leave behind several specimens of their native flora on the Bug Facer homeworld, and imbued the Bug Facers with a strong sense of xenophobia. What happened to them next is unknown, but if they remained active after their failed invasion, it is possible that they were exterminated by the Gravital or were a victim of collateral damage during the Gravital-Asteromorph war. It is unknown if they had previously met with the Qu.
