A horrifying invasion of particle-based life forms that cannot be communicated with or reasoned with.

The Obscura are a hostile race introduced in The Last Federation: Betrayed Hope as part of the Invasion game mode.

Backstory

The Obscura are a particle-based lifeform which, in Invasion Mode, enters the solar system at the same time the Acutians and the Evucks wipe out the Hydrals. In this case, when the Last Hydral crash lands on one of the remaining planets, the Obscura follow them and wipe out the local population. The protagonist narrowly escapes in a prototype spacecraft and races off to warn the other races of the danger and convince them to partake in a counterattack. The Obscura are shown to be much tougher than the average species with advanced ships and ground forces which usually require armadas to wear down and destroy.

Invasion

In Invasion Mode, the Obscura will conquer the planet the Last Hydral crash-landed in. They will be a dangerous threat to all the other races. They can't be reasoned with and will do everything in their power to kill everything in the system.

In Standard Mode, the Obscura remain present, but as a scattered nuisance rather than a grave threat. They control multiple hideouts which the player will sometimes be asked to attack to find cures for various diseases. The Last Federation
