Regent (Battleship)

The aliens (called "The Regents") from the 2012 Movie Battleship are a race of sapient, spacefaring species.

Biological Appearance
The Regents are a tall mammalian species that appear humanoid. They were bipedal and wore dark armor with bronze-gold highlights on top of a skintight suit. They had four fingers on each hand, miniscule ears, flat faces, a strange porcupine-like bristle on their chin and green spectral eyes that are sensitive to exposure of sunlight. They also had two extra nostrils underneath their eyes.

To add with their armored uniform, they had oxygen helmets that was equipped with an unknown gas and an identification friend or foe system that can detect enemies through red-green vision.

History
The Regents were a species that lived in an unidentified homeland much like Earth, to which humans named it "Planet-G", to which they spent most of their lives raiding other planets before destroying them. In 2005, the planet was discovered and the humans sent a message, to which no reply came through. 7 years later, in 2012, the aliens respond by flying to Earth in five ships, one crashing in Hong Kong.

The Regents then attacked Hawaii with strange machines called "Shredders" that tore through a military base and nearly a boy playing baseball. The aliens then go to Oahu and use the satellite communications to send messages to their homeland.

In the end, the Regents' mother-ship and remaining craft are destroyed by the Americans in the USS Missouri.

Apparently, it is believed that they may have survived or have returned to Earth, as in a post-credits scene, schoolboys and a handyman in Scotland discover a crash site, and upon going near a strange object, one of the Regents' hand appears, scaring the boys and the handyman.
