Anti-Alien Task Force is a pre-FTL civilization event chain that can trigger if an Observation Post is conducting  Aggressive Observation. It can only happen once per game. Once the event chain starts dismantling the Observation Post or revealing the empire's presence will no longer be possible until the event chain ends one way or another.

### Anti-Alien Task Force

*In an apparent response to our operations on their primitive world, many of the [pre-FTL species name] nation states on [pre-FTL world name] have momentarily put aside their squabbling to form a new supranational military organization.

According to local media, this task force has been charged with defending their [planet or moon] from "hostile activities perpetrated by an unknown alien agency against the [pre-FTL species name] species as a whole."*

* Awareness is Partially Aware or higher

**Disconcerting.*** Pre-FTL civilization gains 20  Awareness if Partially Aware
* Pre-FTL civilization gains 10  Awareness if High Awareness

### Task Force Activities

*Reconnaissance footage taken by our Observation Post above [pre-FTL world name] has confirmed the construction of several new military bases and radar facilities on the [planet or moon]'s surface, all under the control of the supranational anti-alien task force recently founded by the [pre-FTL species plural].

We are seeing an unprecedented level of cooperation between their nation states, and our abduction flights are now being routinely intercepted by atmospheric fighters belonging to this force. Despite our technological edge, their sheer numbers have enabled them to bring down several of our abduction shuttles!*

Observation Post Lost

*Our Observation Post above [pre-FTL world name] has been destroyed! The culprit was a large surface-to-space missile launched from a military base controlled by the [pre-FTL species name] supranational task force.We are still not certain how they managed to track the station, since extensive precautions had been taken to conceal its existence from the [pre-FTL species plural]. One theory is that the natives have managed to reverse-engineer technologies looted from our downed shuttles.*

* 33% chance if the observation post is not cloaked
* 3% chance if the observation post is cloaked

**This is outrageous!*** The Observation Post is destroyed
* Pre-FTL civilization makes 10% progress towards the next age

Surgical Strike

*The staff of our Observation Post orbiting [pre-FTL world name] has requested help in dealing with the anti-alien task force that was founded by the [pre-FTL species plural] in response to our aggressive observation efforts. Though primitive by our standards, this organization has developed a knack for disrupting our abduction operations.Their main base has been identified on the [planet or moon]'s surface, deep inside a mountain. Orbital bombardment will be ineffective, but a swift raid by a heavily armed strike team should be able to take the base by surprise. Its destruction will surely spell the end of this irksome [pre-FTL species name] task force.*

* 33% chance if the observation post is not cloaked
* 48.5% chance if the observation post is cloaked

**Make it happen.*** Issue Special Project: Destroy Primitive Defense Force

Task Force Disbanded

*The supranational task force that the [pre-FTL species name] nation states founded to thwart our operations on [pre-FTL world name] has been disbanded! Though they somehow managed to achieve several victories against our shuttles and abduction teams, several of the organization's founding members decided to cut off funding and withdraw from the project.Intelligence puts this unexpected turn of events down to infighting and diplomatic posturing between the [pre-FTL species name] nation states.*

* 33% chance if the observation post is not cloaked
* 48.5% chance if the observation post is cloaked

**A welcome, if unexpected, development.*** Pre-FTL civilization loses 10  Awareness

Successful Strike

*Our mission to destroy the main base of the [pre-FTL species name] supranational task force was a complete success! The base was infiltrated by our strike team, and its defenders and their primitive weapons proved no match for our skilled operatives.After planting explosive charges deep within the bowels of the base, the strike team exfiltrated and were picked up by waiting shuttles. Nothing remains of this troublesome [pre-FTL species name] task force now.*

* 70% chance

Failed Strike

*Our mission to destroy the main base of the [pre-FTL species name] supranational task force failed miserably! Several of the shuttles carrying our strike team were brought down by hidden anti-aircraft emplacements before they even made it to the base. The remaining operatives met with unexpectedly stiff resistance when they eventually reached the base entrance.In light of approaching [pre-FTL species name] reinforcements, the strike team commander finally gave the order to retreat. Unfortunately, as our exfiltration shuttles were blasting their way into orbit, a massive formation of atmospheric fighters intercepted them. Losses were heavy.*

* 30% chance

**This is a disaster!*** Pre-FTL civilization gains 10  Awareness
