History Characters / ConspiracyX

* AncientAstronauts: The Atlanteans who created/enslaved humanity made the humans worship them as gods. Atlanteans still made use of GodGuise to manipulate humanity after they rebelled even though the Nameless Priests outlawed it (they want humanity under only a few religions; Confucianism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Etc. Easier to manipulate a few big religions than lots of little ones).

The most "familiar" of the alien factions (at least in the public zeitgeist), the psionic Greys were indeed involved in the RoswellIncident, and they do indeed abduct humans into their flying saucers and experiment on them for seemingly inexplicable purposes. In reality, the Greys have a long-standing grudge against the Atlanteans, who introduced them to the concept of violence, and came to Earth because the "static" produced by humanity's nascent psychic powers is slowly destroying the Grey species. The goal of their experiments is to transform humanity into a [[HalfHumanHybrid Grey/human hybrid species]] who are psychically harmless to the galaxy -- and utterly under Grey psionic domination.

* ExposedExtraterrestrials: The Greys do not wear clothing or armor. Thankfully for prudish human observers, they also reproduce asexually and thus have no genitalia of any kind.

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Before they met the Atlanteans, the Greys were contently stagnant on their home planet. The Atlanteans not only introduced the Greys to the concept of violence, but also created humanity, who are now wrecking all life on Greyworld with their unrestrained psychic Static. The Greys didn't start the conflict with the Atlanteans, and they had no hand in creating humanity, but now - if the Greys want to survive - they're going to have to either render humanity extinct or transform all of humanity into their psychic thralls.

By the height of their civilization, the Saurian species was divided into two opposed power blocs - the Gna-Tall nation and the Coalition. The Coalition ended up fleeing Earth, developing the Saurians' first means of faster-than-light travel (using an artificial gravitational singularity) in the hopes of colonizing other worlds and returning with a force to conquer Earth. However, the Gna-Tall pursued the Coalition starships and caught up with them just outside the solar system. In the ensuing battle, the Coalition activated the singularity drive in desperation, trapping both fleets in time. Back on Earth, Coalition terrorists engineered the demise of the Saurian civilization, culminating with causing a massive Gna-Tall orbital station to plummet to Earth (which became the impact that wiped out the dinosaurs).\\

* CoolPlane: The creations of Aegis' secret Aurora Project, particularly the Aurora III, which boasts an Atlantean nano-cybernetic control system, Saurian fusion engines, and a Grey lens for weapons targeting, making it the only interceptor on Earth with anything resembling a respectable rate of downing [=UFOs=]. Unfortunately, all these syncretic systems mean the pilot needs not only [[AcePilot a lot of training]], but both a [[{{Cyborg}} Pilot Control Interface System implant]] and the [[PsychicPowers Telepathy psychic power]]. From a logistics point of view, putting together one of these awesome machines ''and'' a pilot qualified to fly it is DifficultButAwesome.
