This alien council sends out these AI's to monitor other planets to see if they are friendly enough to join them. Europa is one of these AI's, and it puts a swastika on the surface to see what humanity will do. We nuke the moon, so the ai invades us with smaller ships to see what we will do. nssa builds these video games that train people to pilot ships, and the main character is a top ranked in one of these (i only know he had the handle "IronBeagle")
