I think you're vastly overestimating both our willingness to fight to the inevitable death against an entity vastly greater than us and our ability to reverse-engineer technology that's at least centuries ahead of our own, to be honest.

I mean, how would we even get orbital defence platforms into space against an enemy that already has orbital superiority? Hell, how would we even create an effective orbital defence platform? None of the weapon systems we have the ability or understanding to make would be remotely effective in a space battle.

I think we'd mostly be baffled why the alien invaders we're fighting are humans.

Not that baffled- Obi Wan and Luke Skywalker are technically aliens.

We also understand the need to have human actors in a film made for humans.

With literal space aliens, it's... well, nearly impossible they'd be almost exactly like us. Life is too diverse for that to be the case.

In fact you could probably call bullgak on any sci-fi setting where the aliens are anything like humans.

Indeed, it's plausable that a vaguely humanoid shape is useful in evolution but alot of the "aliens" in sci-fi are- "I've got paint on my face, now I'm an alien"

And as much as I've enjoyed this tangent, I think we're off-topic.

Once per game at the start of the psychic phase, you can choose to use Dant's Devil trigger ability, when you do he will keep that ability till the begining of the next psychic phase.
