Ah, Star Control.  :-)

I could find comfort in being conquered by the Sireen race.  :angel:

It'd just be plain-out embarrassing to be conquered by the Trade Federation.  If I didn't die from defending, I think I'd have to commit lightsaber seppuku just to exhonorate the shame of losing to such a spineless race.

Imagine the raw chaos and fear that would result from a joint strike against us from both the Klingons and the Predators, however.  There would be no surviving it.

For that matter, imagine the Klingons fighting the Predators.  Not the sissified new Klingons, but the Klingons from the 80's.  Star Trek III Klingons, minus the Christopher Lloyd overtones... just cutthroat and sinister.  Space pirate Klingons.  Who would win?

What, no votes for Eddorians, Chlorans, Llurdi, or Tefflans?

Ewoks. One, they're technologically retarded, and it would be a horrendous embarrassment to lose to 'em. Two, they're cannibals.

I'm surprised nobody said Daleks.  But I'm not a Who fan, so maybe there's something I'm missing.  Since they just EXTERMINATE anyway, maybe it wouldn't be that bad.  You'd just be dead.   =)

What? I think you're responding to someone else's post.

Nope. You responded to a post about the Kilrathi and proceeded to describe the outline of one of Niven's works, likely the short story The Warriors, in a manner that indicated that you thought the Kilrathi were Niven's, probably due to them falling under the memory category of "K" names.

Oh, the game things that were just a total ripoff of the other ones? I guess so. I don't recall the names of either one, really.

Those aren't aliens.

They're just an unspeakable evil that destroys from within, rotting away core values and draining any will to better one's self.

Posleen, or whateverthehell the bad-guys were in Insurrection/Crusade/Shiva Option.  The common factor being, they eat you.

Lots of good skullduggery by our putative "allies" in that series as well.  I wish Ringo or Kratman or Williamson would write some more...

I don't think they would qualify as Aliens but how about Chaos from the Warhammer 40K universe.  Sure some other Aliens would make your life hard.  But these guys are just a whole new level of suck for anyone under them!

I can't believe we haven't seen a movie version of Half-Life yet.  Or maybe we fans don't want to, considering past attempts at other conversions.

Knowing our luck, Uwe Boll would somehow secure the movie rights...


I would have to go with whatever the hell those things out of Alien are.  They aren't very intelligent, but they're like freaking viruses. 

Or the Flood out of Halo.  Again, they act more like viruses than anything else.  Damn near impossible to get rid of without nuking the site from orbit.
