Sci-Fi Tech The ROB sends various Alien Species to the Battletech universe.

[Sailor.X]

The ROB tired of seeing humanity bop each other on the head. Decides to have some fun at humanities expense. He sends these Alien Races to the Battletech universe.

G1 Decepticons: Megatron and all the Decepticons are now set up in a few planets in the outer rim of the Galaxy. Megatron as always wants to conquer the Galaxy.

Zentraedi.: There are now 10 Million Zentraedi Warships roaming the Galaxy looking for planets to conquer.

The Invid: One planet in the inner sphere now has the Invid flower of life growing on it. The Invid Regis has conquered the planet and put the human population to work as slaves.

Xenomorphs: 5 Worlds in the inner sphere now have a Xenomorph infestation.

Predators: The Yautja are not actively hunting members of the various factions in Battletech as trophies.

The Hutts: The various Hutt Cartels have set up shop in the outer rim of the galaxy.

Space Kaiju: King Ghidorah, Gigan, Destroyah and other Kaiju are now on some inner sphere worlds.

This happens 1 year after the Clan Invasion of the Galaxy. How do the other factions in Battletech react to the new normal?

G1 Megatron was able to survive an explosion powerful enough to alter planetary orbits. Nothing in BT is going to scratch him. That's on top of the insane industrial might the Decepticons can come up with compared to BT. He proceeds to brutally take over everything unless the Autobots came with to stop him.

Zentraedi.: There are now 10 Million Zentraedi Warships roaming the Galaxy looking for planets to conquer.

Those numbers are pretty overwhelming, they can make a pretty fair bid of taking over. However I recall they have no idea how to maintain or repair their own equipment so they're kind of the anti-BT in terms of quality vs. being able to keep going, and are going to grind to a halt eventually. They could well conquer most of the IS first however, and that's if they can't figure out how to use humans to do repairs.

The Invid: One planet in the inner sphere now has the Invid flower of life growing on it. The Invid Regis has conquered the planet and put the human population to work as slaves.

I'm not sure the Invid would bother trying to conquer the Inner Sphere, if they already have a planet with Flower of Life on it they're more likely to stay there rather than spread to worlds lacking protoculture. Unless it's a major world like Terra, New Avalon, or Luthin the world turns into another crappy periphery hellhole and business in the IS goes on as usual except for this one deathworld nobody jumps to after a few incidents.

Xenomorphs: 5 Worlds in the inner sphere now have a Xenomorph infestation.

Nobody in the Inner Sphere notices. A couple of DropShips might vanish a few times but mostly it's just one more hazard among many. Xenomorphs are mostly a threat because they face poorly armed and armored people who are already in the process of being betrayed by Weyland-Yutani in most situations. BT will not have those drawbacks and a fight with an elemental is going to seriously cramp a Xenomorph's style. I mean, there're areas on Hesperus with wildlife so terrifying that entire regiments of BattleMechs have marched inside, and then suddenly radio silence, and they're never heard from again nor any sign found they ever existed. Less than 1 in 3 'mechs ever returns from those areas and they've considered unexplored territory. And this has been going on for centuries on one of the Inner Sphere's most important planets. Xenomorphs don't rate compared to whatever the heck that is.

Predators: The Yautja are not actively hunting members of the various factions in Battletech as trophies.

I guess if the Predators aren't hunting then nothing much is going to happen?

The Hutts: The various Hutt Cartels have set up shop in the outer rim of the galaxy.

If they have Star Wars tech their advantages (especially FTL speed and AI) are going to let them wreck and ruin everything. If they don't take over completely it will only be because of infighting and because they don't feel like having to run everything themselves.

Space Kaiju: King Ghidorah, Gigan, Destroyah and other Kaiju are now on some inner sphere worlds.

Probably ignore the first couple until they realize the Kaiju can fly through space, then orbital bombardment from WarShips. Kaiju are tough but destroying entire biospheres was Tuesday during the succession wars, they can still take out individual Kaiju.

Things get spicy when The Decepticons run into the Invid. The Regis is literally an out of context problem for Megatron.

The Zentraedi wipe out the vast majority of humanity (all of the Inner Sphere is gone). Only places that survive are the places they don't know about (the Pentagon Worlds, random colonies out in deep space, etc).

Example of the Zentraedi arriving at Earth and completely wiping it out in mere seconds:





As with any fantasy or alien infestation, the Xenomorphs will win. They already have a large enough population base from 5 worlds so yeah it's too late.

The Hutts will just be another flavor of a crime syndicate, except with alien slugs instead of humans.

Yeah the Zentraedi might make the Clans Bug out when they see the lethal firepower a Zentraedi fleet has.

Win what? The xenomorphs are more animals than an alien society. At the absolute case those 5 planets become no go zones but they won’t cause the collapse of human space society. The threats are deceptions, Zendrati, and the Hutts if they stop ladling as mobsters and go back to their history of being war lords and conquers.

I'm not entirely sure how well the Zentraedi stack up after looking at that. That was four million Warships firing at once and it still only glassed 70% of the planet. Didn't the Inner Sphere routinely do the same to worlds during the early Succession Wars, only they tended to use, like, three WarShips instead of four million?

They were actually holding back so that the people on the planet would suffer. Had they gone to full yield on their weapons Earth would have been Asteroids.
