So, humans experimented on their young, attempted to assassinate their king and in the process gravely wounded the crown prince, and then stole their precious relic-like gemstones? There better be a sequel where you play as one of the aliens coming back for revenge.

[@Uncle_Roadkill]

"Those human bastards are gonna pay" kinda sequel or "their land, their blood" kinda sequel?

[@RogueOmega]

Actually, considering the ship logs that detail the horrific actions of this scientist under orders from this mysterious "general" make it back along with the surviving crew, I think a better idea would be this: You play as an alien who initially comes to Earth seeking revenge upon humanity, but at some point after your arrival, you discover that not only did the rest of humanity find out about what was done to your people, but that they were PISSED about it and ready to hold this "General" accountable for it all. And so, in a desperate bid to avoid any punishment for the actions they orchestrated, the "General" wages a war to try and subjugate humanity under their rule so that they can't be punished. So now the aliens and humans both have some SERIOUS beef with the same guy and his goons.
