Why the Aliens are Invading
- Colonization
The aliens are seeking to build a colony on Earth. Reasons could be overpopulation, destruction of their own homeworld, etc. Earth does not necessarily have to be an ideal environment for the colonizers.
- Domination
The alien psyche is basically insecure and they like to make themselves feel big by ruling over other species.
- Resources
The aliens are only concerned with Earth's resources. Presumably this would include resources limited to inhabitated planets (eg. food sources, etc.)
- Testing Ground
The aliens are using Earth as a practice planet in preparation for the real invasion elsewhere.
- Insulted
The aliens were actually peaceful explorers until one or all of the Earth's nations launched orbital nukes at them. Now they're pissed...
- Just for Kicks
"Hey, Balkizorg, I'm bored. Why don't we invade that planet over there?"
- To stage the biggest special effects movie in history
- Therapy
The aliens are gradually weaning off invasions and are now doing short invasions of backwater worlds with plans of enventually moving on to unihabited asteroids...
- To win a scavenger Hunt
(Hey.. do you have your M class planet yet?) or some other contest. (If you can conquer the Earth..... A brand, New, Imperial Star Destroyer!)
- Peace Keeping Mission
- Their asking for directions... the Hard way.
- Protection Racket.
- Their not really invading.... An advanced alien race is dumping their Garbag, and the Parasites which grow in it are tough.
- Whoops! Wrong Planet of Godless Heathens.. They missed the target of an interplanetary war by about 30 degrees 300 lightyears ago.
- Keeps the Children busy (imagune the Prometheans).
