Alien Decimation List/Demon Corps

## Overview

These Alien Decimations offer up to Tier 5 prizes and consist of four phases, the first two involving Demon Corps while the last two involving the Aliens.

During the first phase, VEGA Suspicious Cargo fleets each protected by 4 Demon Corps Escorts spawn from Wormholes and travel to planets. The escorts are within 5 levels of the cargo fleet. These escorts have a very high sector speed and will pursue player fleets within 10 levels that get too close.

During the second phase, Demon Corps Reclaimers spawn from planets and travel to Wormholes in convoys, similar to a normal event.

During the third phase, Hive Fleets spawn from Unstable Wormholes and travel to Wormholes.

At the beginning of the final phase, a Harvester fleet spawns from each Unstable Wormhole. They are extremely slow.

With the introduction of the Xeno Division, Demon Corps fleets have been retired from Alien Decimation resulting in a newer version of the event. Here is a list of past Alien Decimations with Demon Corps fleets:

## Trivia

* This is the first event to feature sector phases.
* This is the first event to feature the VEGA Suspicious Freighter and Alien Harvester.
* This event is also the first to feature a co-op fleet that is not of the Alien faction.
* The Nova Ray was removed from the first Decimation because of a problem with pre-requisite requirements. It returned in the second iteration.
* The VEGA Suspicious Cargo has a re-textured battle icon of a VEGA Official that looks of Asian descent or based off an employee of KIXEYE.
* The Dominion Carriers in the Demon Corps Fleets originally had Bomber Squadrons with an extended range similar to the Scouts in the Supply Runs, but this was changed to Interceptor Squadrons because of many player complaints.
