Information AboutInvid (robotech) |
|
In Robotech , the Invid originated as an alien race of Invertebrate , Slug -like Hive creatures that originate from the world of Optera . Their world was defoilated by the Robotech Masters in an attempt to monopolise a powerful Narcotic , the Flower Of Life that was native to the planet; the Flower was also the source of an incredibly powerful Energy Source called Protoculture . Enraged by the devastation and betrayal of their one-time allies, the sedate and Agrarian Invid Militarize and begin a program of Genetic Manipulation to evolve to a point of superiority above the Masters. Eventually, the Invid trace the stolen Flowers to Earth which turns out to be the only other place in the galaxy where the Flower can grow. The Invid invade Earth without a moments' hesitation, an ironic act of perpetuating the crimes committed on them, thus beginning the Third Robotech War . The Invid are led by a pair of monarchs, the Regent, who is vehemently against the genetic manipulation of their race; and the '''Regis''', the queen mother of the race, the proponent of the genetic evolution program. Unlike the Regent, who has chosen to remain in the original form of the species, the Regess has genetically modified herself to the point that she is Humanoid in form and nearly human overall; she was the first of her race to evolve as she was seduced by the Masters' scientist Zor . The Regent and Regis have since separated and split the race between them; the Regess leading the invasion of Earth, while the Regent continued to hold the space around Optera and continue the war in space against the Masters on their own homeworld of Tirol . The Regent was killed in a suicide attack by Breetai on Optera . |
