* GovernmentConspiracy: The United States government had been conducting studies on teleportation since 1943 under Project Rainbow (aka Philadelphia Experiment). This research branched out to two main programs: the Blackbird Research Facility in Nevada dubbed OBSIDIAN WINDOW, and the other in Maine called QUIVER.

* TheUnmasquedWorld: The American and Soviet governments have been initially trying to suppress knowledge on the tāziyāne-ye bozorg from the public until the fall of Gardeyz and Ghazni makes it longer possible. The Americans were the first to go public on the bozorg as part of their deal with Pakistan to help in fighting the aliens.

* HordeOfAlienLocusts / PlanetLooters: The bozorg, short for tāziyāne-ye bozorg, which is Pashtun for "great scourge". They are also known as "The Creeping Dread" by an alien race. They were originally a small organism created by an alien race possibly in the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canis_Major_Overdensity Canis Major Dwarf galaxy]] in which the original hive mind [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters turned on and devoured their creators]]. Once it was aware of other organisms across space, it sent out multiple copies of hive minds to star systems, consuming entire planets and even stars (in order to absorb their massive energy to teleport across space), becoming even more stronger and intelligent as a result, and incorporating new genetics and attributes from those they devoured. After they consumed their entire galaxy, they turned their attention to the neighboring Milky Way galaxy and picking Earth as the transitioning point of their first invasion in the new galaxy.

* WeaponizedTeleportation: The bozorg hivemind possesses the ability to access an alternate dimension which it can use as a means of communicating with other hive minds across both interstellar and intergalactic distances. This allows it to increase its own cognitive abilities as well as request additional logistical support from more well established infestations. They also can redirect fission or fusion based weapon which instantly transports the explosion itself to a distant location.
