Multiple invaders.

It doesn't have to be different species, just different "general's" with entirely different and opposing strategies. It's eve possible the PCs could stumble into 2+-way firefight from the differing factions.


Have one faction prefer mechanoids/cyborgs/robots, one prefer Big Dumb Brutes and big guns, one prefers the insidious infiltrating Reptiloid/Snakemen, one prefers spreading genetic contagions/retroviruses and using troops like Chryssalids/Genestealers, etc.

That they will both work together and fight over seemingly incomprehensible reasons can add to the 'alien' vibe.
