A/N This is somewhat similar Alien, but has a mass amount of differences.
All these characters are mine, other then the name 'Kyle Katarn' which is
owned by Star Wars. All technology is my creation other then the source of
Na'Quada, which is from Stargate. The main characters will be introduced
and described in the next chapter.
Prologue
Three years ago, Yonder Point was established in Chayne Peak. It was a research station for flight technology. The orbiting satellites were easy to put in place, but flying was virtually impossible past hovering above the ground several feet.
The gravity of the planet prevented it, since it doubled that of Earth. But this also drew in more then half of the satellites in place and as the researchers were trying to find the N-point (a point between the moon and planet were the gravity would be cancel out) a comet came flying through the atmosphere.

Rommie was working on her telescope again. She loved the stars and imagined creating an anti-inertia generator that would allow space travel without fuel. As she looked through her telescope she gasped. A gigantic comet was hurtling through the atmosphere straight at her. As it flew by she saw that it was flying just north of her. It crashed near Yonder Point. Then they came.
As the military was sending vehicles out to Yonder Point, some survivors came from mining colony that was not far from the comet's impact point. They described things like insects but much bigger crawling everywhere. They killed some of the miners, while others were snatched out of the tunnels and carried out. The miners that arrived were the last to come.
As the vehicles returned, less then half of what had set out, they brought with them the bodies of miners and soldiers alike. Yet some had managed to bring back dead specimens of the creatures that had swarmed everywhere.
As the last truck came screams were heard from within. A creature had been captured alive and had killed one of the jailers, the second one was curled up in a corner, whimpering, and so the Insectoid Battles began.
The military started training and the drafting began immediately. All men and most women between the ages of 21 and 40 were put in the training facilities. The total population was only 26 million residents. Of all ages and genders. The field military had a total of 6 million soldiers, just enough to cover the perimeters.
The insectoids were slowly being pushed back, and the war seemed to have been won, until the fog came. It rolled in with the night but it stayed there unmoving since then. Few of the ones to go in have returned. Jakron, a city that was past the perimeter, was destroyed. Very few survivors made it back. And two years later the tides turned again
