The Invaders
The Invaders (Another Possibility from d20 Apocalypse) posted in Gamma World forum comment posted by derek_holland Light bulb last night- the Invaders should replace the Created as the tech advanced and terrifying Cryptic Alliance. The Knights still exist and act as the public face of the Invaders. With that in mind, here are some more ideas on how to use the aliens:
- Invader bases and starships have sections that are alien even to PSH, places where the aliens retain their original forms. Note that androids have no problems as they serve both types of Invaders. Those who do find themselves in the alien compartments suffer a +2 step bonus or worse to perception and INT skills.
- The Lunar Invader base have several hundred baseline humans in stasis. These people were abducted years before the invasion and were used to design PSH. If freed and exposed to mutagens, they will mutate (likely to their horror).
- The Lunar base also has the capability to manufacture small amounts of (A) artifacts. They want to boost production and to make (H) artifacts again and several teams of Knights have been dispatched to find sunken starships that may have the needed machinery.
- All Invaders bases contain android blanks. Dying PSH and alien Invaders can transfer themselves into the blanks. Few do due to the reduction in social status.
- Most Invader bases are broadcast power stations for (A) and (H) artifacts.
- Mobile, sentient flora were brought from the Invader's homeworld as pets. Horizontal gene transfer passed these traits to terrestrial species.
- The Invaders' war with the Wearers of Flesh comes to Gamma Terra occasionally but usually as flashes in the sky. The Wearers are machines that grow vat things as avatars when they do visit living worlds (as they are massive starships that can't interact with most biologicals easily). Their tech is so alien that even the Invaders can't use it. When people do find crashed WoF ships, the materials are used for construction or melted down for other uses. (The name comes from Lords of Madness but these are obviously a very different kind of alien.)
