Aliens come from the Delta Pavonis system. In the past the Hydra were attacked and their homeworld destroyed by another alien race, the Salamanders. The surviving colonies managed to mind-control the Salamanders using their pherocytes. The Hydra decided that every other species has to be enslaved before it could become another threat. They have managed to conquer two other star systems: Zeta Tucanae and Alpha Mensae. One was the home of the Salamanders, the other was the home of the Griffins.

There are also non-sapient aliens. As alien councilors travel on Earth, they spread genetically engineered invasive flora, which negatively affects native population, and may grow into megafauna - a giant amalgamation of plant matter and flesh acting like hostile to all army. There are also alien dogs which are often used along alien armies for scouting, and may be domesticated even by human civilians.

The plan of Hydras is taking covert control of the human nations and using them to construct a network of orbital weapon platforms to keep them pacified. Then humanity can be used as a subservient race like the Salamanders.
