We're pitting 16 galactic alien species against each other! Why? To answer one of humanities core questions hiding inside all of us: Who would win in a fight?
The stakes are absurdly high, and the research is real! Our in-house expert/researcher, Jordan, becomes our game-master/referee as we dive deep into each alien species lore before battling them against each other.
We kick off with the Peacemakers; weighing the calm, multidimensional mastery of the Andromedans against the formidable Lyrans and Arcturians. Then the Ancients punch back: Draconians bring raw menace while The Watchers counter with strategic patience and mind games. And the Nommo get a participation trophy. In the Infiltrators bracket, Mantids show why they might be the most dangerous operators in the room. And the Wild Cards deliver pure nightmare fuel; from the spooky Shadow Beings to the biomechanical dread of the Negumok.
Is a hive mind a lethal advantage or a fatal flaw? Can you even beat a nonphysical entity? Is space-time manipulation just a cheat code? It's a clash of power vs. ethics, foresight vs. fear, and we learn something new with every knockout.
By the end, a champion stands and the path there says as much about our favorite human archetypes as it does about alien ones. If you love UFO mythology, smart speculative science, and listening to two people have a wildly weird and heated debate, this is the one.
