This page describes mechanics of Alien faction in game. For story spoilers, see [[Aliens/Lore]]

[[File:FAC AlienCouncil 128.png|thumb|100px|Logo of the alien faction]]
The Aliens, or Hydra as they're sometimes referred after the first autopsy, are a non-playable faction. They have their own set of missions separate from human factions.

Aliens start on either [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haumea Haumea], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makemake Makemake], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/90482_Orcus Orcus], or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50000_Quaoar Quaoar] with a tier 3 Base and a tier 3 Habitat. They have 1 councilor on Earth and 5 more on Gunships that will crash and bring them on Earth regularly. They also start with a Destroyer that will arrive in early 2024. Aliens will expand from the edge towards the core of the solar system but will not attack human fleets or habs until the Alien Threat Level increases sufficiently.

Alien ships bringing councilors to Earth will create an UFO Crashdown Site visible to everyone. Other alien phenomena are created by alien councilor missions and have the be surveyed. Investigating an alien phenomena site will increase Xenology research by 1%.

== Alien agents ==

Alien councilors always have 25 loyalty, high security, respectable espionage and a set of unique [[Missions#Alien_Missions|missions]]. Before creation of Alien Administration, they seem to usually travel on foot, meaning they can only move between adjacent provinces. When Alien Administration exists, they are free to do missions anywhere on Earth.

Alien councilors are dangerous, and are notoriously difficult to deal with. Killing and detaining them is required to unlock certain research options, and to prevent the devastating outcomes of their activity.

== Alien Threat Level ==
[[File:Alien threat meter.png|thumb|Alien threat meter]]
Alien Threat Level represents the degree to which the aliens regard a faction as a threat. Hostile actions against the aliens or their proxies on Earth, and/or a large visible space presence, increases their concern about a faction, which may expect the aliens to retaliate against their interests on Earth and in space should the alert monitor reach the maximum level. They may also lose interest if factions avoid opposing them or their proxies on Earth directly for a time. The Servants are never considered a threat.

Alien Threat meter becomes visible in the Intel panel once the Alien Operations council engineering project has been completed. It is only updated when the aliens conduct a mission against your faction or by doing a Contact mission on an alien councilor.

Alien threat is scored from 0 upwards, with every 10 points increasing the threat level by 1. Alien Threat Level caps at 5, at which point the aliens will start attacking a faction's habs and fleets. The points can go above 50, making it harder to lower it. Gaining threat will worsen relations with The Servants and The Protectorate as well. Threat is increased by the following:
* +1 if a tier 1 module is destroyed
* +2 if a tier 2 module is destroyed
* +3 if a tier 3 module is destroyed
* +3 if a tier 1 hab is destroyed
* +6 if a tier 2 hab is destroyed
* +9 if a tier 3 hab is destroyed
* +10 if a facility is destroyed
* +40 if a landed UFO is destroyed
* +80 if the Alien Administration is destroyed

Each point of Mission Control used will also increase threat with a value depending on the game difficulty:
* +0.05 on Cinematic
* +0.4 on Normal
* +0.6 on Veteran
* +1 on Brutal

== Alien Administration ==
[[File:Flag Alien Nation.png|thumb|150px|Flag of the Alien Administration]]
The Alien Administration is a nation that is created either when an Invader Army occupies a region or when The Servants, The Protectorate or The Academy transfer territory to the aliens. Through human politicians there, the new alien nation is presenting itself to the world as a unifying force capable of solving Earth's problems. The Alien Administration will accept alliance with Protectorate and Servants controlled nations.

With the aliens as the power behind the throne, the nation appears invulnerable to usual attempts to assume political control - Crackdowns, Purges and Coups simply will not succeed. Only an internal rebellion or an outright invasion has a chance to remove the aliens from power.

The Alien Administration will immediately annex any region conquered by an Invader Army.

Factions

[[File:Factions.png|thumb|400px|Goals and starting relations of all factions]]
With the nations of Earth unable to reach consensus on how to approach the alien arrival on their own, covert transnational factions of like-minded people have become the dominant players in world affairs. Each is driven by an ideology on how to address alien activities on Earth. These factions will seek to invest in and control the governments of Earth to advance their goals. You are leading one of these factions.

The inner leadership circle of each faction is its council. Councilors will go on missions to help you gain power over Earth's nations and discover the aliens' goals on Earth. Factions also may gain control over armies, and as the story progresses, they may build habitats and fleets in space.

Factions cannot be entirely eliminated in Terra Invicta. They have emerged from the beliefs of the people of Earth. People can be swayed and organizational structures removed, but ideas can't fully die. What matters is how much power the people holding those ideologies possess.

During the campaign, each faction will have one or more objectives to fulfill at any given time. Completing objectives will lead to uncovering information about the aliens and their true purpose in our Solar System. Objectives can also unlock special research projects and orgs for a faction.

By using the Contact mission on a councilor from another faction, a councilor may initiate trade discussions with the leader of that faction. Successful trades can serve to lower hostility between factions.

== Trade Negotiations ==
Factions can begin trade negotiations with each other by using the Contact mission. They may trade resources, orgs, control points or council engineering projects. They can also form non-aggression pacts, which prevents two factions from using hostile missions or the declare war policy against each other's councilors and nations.

Nations that are in conflict or at war with each other will reject trade negotiations.

== Atrocity ==
''Main article: [[Atrocity]]''

== Human Factions ==
There are seven human factions in Terra Invicta. Each faction has an ideology that determines how hostile it will be to other factions and how much they will be affected by a nation's population having different beliefs. Factions with ideology supportive to the aliens will eventually be able to transfer territory to the alien nation.

== Most Threatening Faction ==
All factions will slowly begin to target the most threatening faction in the game. The most threatening faction is the one that has the highest threat score, calculated with the following formula:

control points + (sum of all armies' Miltech * 0.5) + active hab modules + objectives completed

Director Khalid Al-Ashgar

2022-11-07T05:41:30Z

Mitchz95: /* Science */

=== Background ===
[[File:Khalid.JPG|thumb]]
Director Khalid Al-Ashgar, [[Project Exodus]], was born in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Dhabi Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates]. He is a tech mogul.

Master of Physics and Philosophy, Oxford University, 2008; Lead investor, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Yah_Satellite_Communications Al Zaabi Satellite Communications]; Deputy Director of Administration, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emirates_Mars_Mission Emirates Mars Mission]; 2017-2019. Noted financial supporter of several space enthusiast organizations and publications.

=== Personality ===

Director Khalid Al-Ashgar has strong work ethic and is laser-focused on his engineering projects. He is fully dedicated to turning humanity into interstellar species, whether he himself gets to leave Solar system or not.

He seems to be versed in Islamic studies, but is well more grounded than [[Superior Judith Howell‎‎|a certain prophet wannabee]].

Khalid displays a degree of academical elitism towards the people who call aliens hydras instead of using a proper scientific terminology.

Director Khalid Al-Ashgar is fatalist, ready to accept either outcome in humanity-hydra war. He only joins the fight to get the valuable exotics required to build the Bifrost, although he is happy to get more involved in the war if that means building even more colony ships. He isn't particularly disturbed by losses of non-crucial personnel, unlike [[Li]], [[Fiona]] or [[Kiran]]; but isn't overtly xenophobic enough to torture the captured hydra, unlike [[Hanse]].

Some people compare Khalid to Elon Musk. The comparison is superficial; the former is way more educated, has only one tweet and does projects that actually work instead of running cryptocurrency scams and harrasing flight attendants.

Director Khalid Al-Ashgar

Mitchz95: SpaceX is pretty damn successful

=== Background ===
[[File:Khalid.JPG|thumb]]
Director Khalid Al-Ashgar, [[Project Exodus]], was born in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Dhabi Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates]. He is a tech mogul.

Master of Physics and Philosophy, Oxford University, 2008; Lead investor, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Yah_Satellite_Communications Al Zaabi Satellite Communications]; Deputy Director of Administration, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emirates_Mars_Mission Emirates Mars Mission]; 2017-2019. Noted financial supporter of several space enthusiast organizations and publications.

=== Personality ===

Director Khalid Al-Ashgar has strong work ethic and is laser-focused on his engineering projects. He is fully dedicated to turning humanity into interstellar species, whether he himself gets to leave Solar system or not.

He seems to be versed in Islamic studies, but is well more grounded than [[Superior Judith Howell‎‎|a certain prophet wannabee]].

Khalid displays a degree of academical elitism towards the people who call aliens hydras instead of using a proper scientific terminology.

Director Khalid Al-Ashgar is fatalist, ready to accept either outcome in humanity-hydra war. He only joins the fight to get the valuable exotics required to build the Bifrost, although he is happy to get more involved in the war if that means building even more colony ships. He isn't particularly disturbed by losses of non-crucial personnel, unlike [[Li]], [[Fiona]] or [[Kiran]]; but isn't overtly xenophobic enough to torture the captured hydra, unlike [[Hanse]].

Some people compare Khalid to Elon Musk. The comparison is superficial; the former is way more educated, has only one tweet and does projects that actually work instead of running cryptocurrency scams and harrasing flight attendants.
