| Robot enemies | |
|---|---|
 |
Battle Droids are the most common robotic enemies. They patrol the corridors of space stations searching for intruders to purge. One such Droid isn't a big challenge, but they usually appear in great numbers. Especially in key locations like the main generator. |
 |
Spider Droids repair damaged robots. They are unarmed but can replenish health, armor and shields of other robotic units nearby. They will flee from intruders if no damaged robots are nearby. |
 |
Exploders quickly advance towards an intruder and detonate upon arrival. Caution is advised as shooting an Exploder will cause it to explode. This can be used by clever heroes to detonate Exploders while they are still near other robotic enemies. |
 |
Orbs are highly mobile and can alert other robots of your presence. This will cause Battle Droids on patrol to stop and go after you. If an Orb is not destroyed it will continue to alert more and more enemies of your presence. |
 |
Walkers are heavy assault mechs which deal large amounts of damage and are very resilient. They need a round to power up. If you manage a surprise attack you can inflict heavy damage before it counterattacks. Walkers are slow, allowing heroes to disengage when feeling overwhelmed. |
| Swarm enemies | |
|---|---|
 |
Eggs are harmless. But they will eventually hatch and release the larva growing inside. In the enemy phase there is an indication how many turns remain until the egg will hatch. All alien life forms except the eggs will leave pools of acid behind when killed. |
 |
Larvae are the first stage of alien life forms that can attack the heroes. They are slow, easy to kill and do little damage. However they can appear in large numbers and will evolve into crawlers if left unattended. |
 |
Crawlers are the next step up from larva. They are still growing and become warriors if given enough time. Crawlers are not that fast, but they have a poisonous attack which causes damage over time even after the engagement. As melee combatants they ignore shields. |
 |
Warriors are the final step of alien life form evolution and very dangerous. They are fast, able to jump over small obstacles and hard to kill. In addition, they deal large amounts of damage and can inflict negative status conditions like bleeding. As all alien life forms, they are intelligent and can disengage to regenerate wounds taken in battle. |
 |
The Queen is the source of new eggs and classified as an Omega threat. Knowledge is scarce about this organism. Most teams don't survive getting this deep into an alien nest and back out. Caution is advised! |
