An ancient, “highly advanced” species known as the Squ'ith, desperately seeking to reclaim their former galactic supremacy. These mind-controlling, xenophobic aliens were once former foes during the First Galactic War, the so called "Illuminate" were thought practically extinct following their surrender at the end of the War. However without both warning or reason, the Illuminate returned without any signal right in the middle of the Second Galactic War.
These Illuminate, speculated to be former survivors of the First War sent ninety-six invasion fleets towards the planet Calypso on the night of December 12th, 2184. The majority of their forces consisted of kidnapped legions of Super Earth citizens who had been lobotomized and perverted into the mindless, undemocratic hordes known as the Voteless. You know what you are being paid for, Divers, remind these squids whose galaxy they have encroached upon.
