Overview


Alien Strike is a Tier 6 catch-up event for new players to earn tech of the Xeno Division and A.X.I.S. factions.

It features Alien targets designed to be taken down by Tier 5 tech or higher. These targets were originally found either inside the Residential Sectors or the Colony 47 Infected Sector, but later moved into the AXIS Sector with the introduction of Deep Space.

Note that like the other Strikes, there is no post-event resource exchange.

While Planet Strike and Sector Strike have been rendered obsolete due to the release of the Training Simulations, Alien Strike still lives on in Deep Space. The event is run as follows:

Trivia

 * Alien Strike is the Tier 6 version of Sector Strike.
 * The Xeno Pulse Cannon Turret and Heavy Bombardment Torpedo Turret both accidentally appeared in the event store in place of their ship versions during the Legacy Alien Strikes but that was quickly fixed.
 * The Classic Alien Strike on 13th Dec 2017 incorrectly spawned level 40-50 Barrage Hive fleets in the Colony 47 Infected Sector, they yielded no Intel but still dropped Unknown Objects.
 * The Classic Alien Strike on 17th Dec 2017 incorrectly spawned level 70-90 Barrage Hive and Reaper fleets, as well as level 60-90 Infected Outposts in the Colony 47 Infected Sector. They did not give any Intel and were only valuable for their loot drops.
 * The Classic Alien Strike on 11th Feb 2018 was rescheduled to 12th Feb 2018 to avoid overlapping with the extended Contact event.
 * The Deep Space Alien Strike on 29th Jul 2020 was extended due to the downtime taking longer than expected.
 * Alien Strike was incorrectly not run during 18th Jan 2021.
