Stop The Formics

Information and tactics to repel the invasion.

Tech Ideas

03 January 2017 by Victor Delgado

We can’t all enlist with the IF but we do all have something to contribute to this war. I have been attempting to come up with any tech that might help Marines in the IF when facing the Formics. Several of my ideas are in need of review and constructive criticism. If anyone knows anything about engineering, mechanics, or has knowledge of what could be useful and what could be deadly to soldiers in battle feedback would be appreciated. The only way we will win this is if we all work together. We can win, we can.

The darkside of Formics

17 August 2016 by Speaker for the Dead

I have managed to climb into an area I suspected to be a Formic hive while taking a break on a colony planet during a funeral. I can’t be sure because it is pitch black in there. However, one room, deep in the heart of the hive, had light. The light centered above an area of holes in the ground, covered in strange liquids and what appeared to be Formic legs. Inside these holes were small capsules about the size of a human hand; eggs, as I suspect. It seems the Formic Hive Queen only ever lays new workers in light, while the colony can only survive in the dark. She even seems to kill other workers to create these new ones or new queens… Hence those legs. It seems scientifically impossible but I had to get out thanks to the lack of air so I only have theories. A novel called “Xenocide” containing myths of the Formics is where you can find more data to my theories. I hope to return soon with more info

Formic Weakness

03 July 2016 by Admiral Thrawn

My men discovered another effective tactic against the Formics today, when they shot down a Formic skimmer they accessed one of the guns. We then used the gun as anti air craft support more effectively destroying the Formic troop carriers.

Orbit of formic mothership

31 January 2016 by Gareth McCarthy

The ground and space telescope observations of the mothership made it possible to calculate a rough orbit. Here are the preliminary details:

Orbit date = 2077/11/14
Eccentricity = 1.27
Perihelion = 1.00074 AU
Inclination = 31.4 degrees (south of/below ecliptic)

The orbit has led me to conclude that the mothership arrives from near the apparent position of the galactic plane, but much closer- which would explain why we had not found their planet of origin. Based on extrapolational estimates (which are likely in error), the ship has been traveling here for the last 130 years.

An interesting side note- the Formics’ home system appears to be have been emitting detectable X-rays for at least 100 years. We had so many chances to find them before they found us, but we missed them all.
