How would list of possible invasions(hostile, friendly, and other) not consist of all possible forms, methods, and reasons for travel?
nomadic tribes following the herds could translate into herds of space creatures(perhaps harvested for ships), or nomadic miners harvesting specific trace elements. Migrating like birds, partially 'friendly' invasions like Europe colonizing the Americas, wars of conquest like the Huns, wars of expansion like the Romans, wars if ideology like the Germans in WWII or Vietnam, explorers like Magellan or Lewis and Clark, people looking to open new trade routes like Columbus, plants and animals being carried by ships or birds, some sort of amphibious space creatures that spend their early life on a planet before they spend their mature years in space, or the reverse, traveling traders, wandering musicians, lost settlers, etc. Any historical or imagined act that involved a person, animal or plant leaving their 'home town' could be considered an alien invasion, and most of them can be translated into an interplanetary/interstellar invasion with just a little thought...
