Aliens Mine ? Slaves escaping their master.
District 9 - Aliens escaping who and what reasons? Not seen the full movie but
suspect much.
V - to harvest humanity?
What others have you seen and comment on it here and now.. Looking for ideas
and need some feed back? Can include colony ships and like, but the major
element is size? Not sure if Beam Piper Drop Ships count? But one example is
they are here to strip the planet and then move on like giant paracites?
Hey Mike,
"Alien Nation" was the escaped slaves... Slaves breed and then
controlled with a special gas, manipulated by specially trained
"Overseers" which came from their own population. Slaves married had
families but were kept separated by gender for the most part. IIRC,
Malfunction in the gas delivery system let the slaves revolt and take
over the ship, but, since they didn't really have the skills to operate
the piloting functions were lucky to be in our solar system.
Self-destruct mechanism was activated by somebody and ship blows up once
most/all of the slaves escaped off-ship.
"Independence Day" - Interstellar locusts here to just strip our planet
of all resources and move on... and we're the vermin standing in their
way. Very interesting C^3 C System architecture (which allowed us to
drop the shields on every ship and fighter so they were vulnerable).
Star Trek:Original Series episode "For the World is Hollow, and I Have
Touched the Sky"... a human world ship that has been traveling for
generations and is off course... imagine it ends up at the wrong planet.
Imagine humans being the "ailens".
