WCP: ALIEN THREAT INFO

Confed Intel has currently codnamed this new threat "Nephilim", even if they don't know the true name belonging to this race.
The alien fleet entered our galactic quadrant in the Kilrah system near the remnants of the Kilrathi homeworld. It seems the alien have used some kind of unknown anomaly to transit into Confed space: station K-105 first detected a source of energy that is now believed to be the result of the enemy transit into the Kilrah sys. From then on, they attacked every kind of space ship, station or ground target they could detect, both Terran and Kilrathi. The Aliens used a jamming signal to isolate the attack zone and captured every sentient creature they could get their tentacles on.
Alien technology seems very advanced and can surely compete if not surpass Confed's. Their ships have a rather organic appearance, like a mixture of flesh and durasteel. Analisys on an object that seemed to be part of an alien fighter ship, revealed that it was composed by a complex chain of polymers giving it a resistance factor 1.8 times better than Confed durasteel (the substance resulted however a bit more fragile than durasteel).
The organic capabilities of the alien ships let these crafts form "cluster" like ships, like the Stingray or the Skate (see Alien ships section).

It is supposed, according to an ancient Kilrathi prophecy, that these alien creatures are some kind "star gods" that once challenged the Kilarthi race with "magical weapons": the alien race, disgusted by the primitivity of the Kilrathi, left them, swearing they would be back, once the Kilrathi were worth the fight.
The prophecy then depicted two kind of destinies for the Kilrathi: Tr'thrak is a sort of Armageddon in which the Kilrathi would battle with the "star gods" winning or be eroically destroyed by them; this destiny would result in case the Kilrathi defeated every sentient race they met; if another race was able to win the Kilrathi, the "star gods" would be back to vanquish the remnants of the cat species and whoever was able to defeat them. This destiny is referred to as Kn'thrak, which means in our language "darkness" or "evil".

It is now clear that the Aliens didn't expect to find us in the Kilrah sys and its nearby solar systems, infact their first fleet was just a scout fleet sent to prepare the advance for the bulk of their ships. The destruction of the Warmhole gate that let them in with an assault led by Confed pilots flying off the TCS Midway, blocked the alien fleet in their own space ending the first invasion.
The Warmhole gate itself resulted an artificial construction used to mantain "open" the physical anomaly that connects the alien's space with our region of the galaxy. The aliens will be eventually back, since they still can use the anomaly as a transition to reach us; it will be just a matter of time until they'll be ready once again to take on the universe.
