Alien Species (WIP)

WIP game document for a hive-based, antagonistic species in the galaxy. These would start getting into play later down the wipe, rather than from day 1.

Design

The Alien Species adds a bit of unpredictability for explorers and a (communal) goal for PvE players

The Alien Species spawn in the core regions of the galaxy. Instead of building cities, they will infect planets and sectors over time by building special towers on them. The longer these towers are present, the more the infected planets upgrade, the stronger the enemies, defenses and ships that come from here. Eventually they will occupy the next sector over, and repeat, until they reach the middle of the galaxy.
