The Star People is a tentative name of a species of extraterrestrials that invaded Earth.
Background[]
On an alternate Earth in the Multiverse, in 1947, a UFO crashed outside Roswell, New Mexico. Rather the hallmark of a government conspiracy, the UFO was a vanguard for an alien invasion.
The aliens from the crash, struck a deal with Earth's leaders. The leaders of Earth were given power and riches, in exchange for allowing the aliens farm out the rest of the human population.
By the 21st century, the aliens have occupied Earth, rounding up men and women from the streets and to the ships to be processed into food.
The Sliders having fled the two-dimensional conquering Zercurvians to the Earth occupied by the aliens. After learning the situation the Sliders attempted to hide from the aliens just long enough until they could slide to the next world. Professor Arturo though felt pity for the humans and wondered if it was possible that they could somehow aid that Earth.
Unfortunately there was not enough time as a portal would soon open and a n alien hunting party caught sight of them. Just when the aliens were about to apprehend them, a portal appeared above their heads, sucking them up and ripping them apart,
It turned out the Sliders saviors were the Zercurvians who had pursued the humans, demanding Quinn Mallory show them how to open slide portals to other worlds so they can drain them of lifeforce.
The Sliders refused and managed to escape into their own slider tunnel, save for Quinn who was captured by the Zercurvians.
The other Sliders landed on another Earth, this one where the advanced land of Atlantis never sunk into the sea, and eventually spread from its island home, to conquering the world through its sorcery and science.
There they met with the Atlantean warrior Zeno, who greeted them in open arms and explained his civilization to the dimensional travelers. Zeno admitted while the Atlanteans united the world into one culture and brought peace and a utopia, he confessed that for a people who valued magic and adventure, life was boring and dismal for the military.
The only action that the Atlanteans had in recent times was when they drove away aliens that attempted to invade Earth. As it so happened the aliens that the Atlanteans defeated were the same ones oppressing the previous Earth that the Sliders had visited. This led to the Sliders of offering Zeno with a proposal.
The Zercurvians managed to coerce Quinn’s aid in controlling the gateways to other Earths. Their fleet arrived in the skies of the Atlantean Earth, and were determined to conquer it. Though they were tricked as Quinn sabotaged their technology to drag most of the fleet back into interspace, trapped in a never ending loop between dimensions, ensuring that they would never harm any Earth again.
The lone Zercurvian ship that remained was claimed by the Sliders and Atlanteans. Quinn then gave the technology to the Atlanteans, offering them what they desired, a way into the unknown and victory.
Using the technology the Atlanteans marshalled its armies into the gateway to liberate the Earth under the oppression of the Star People.
Biology[]
The Star People resemble tall green men, with dark orbs for eyes.
Culture[]
The Star People have a taste for human flesh. After conquering Earth, the invaders brazenly walk the streets armed with stun sticks and electric net guns to herd humans to the table. Having taken over Earth, and using it as their personal farm, the aliens have converted many of the fast food chains for their tastes, such as McDonald's serving Scottish people and renamed Kentucky Fried Chicken as Kentucky Fried People.
