New Reality Seeds

Aliens try to invade Earth in 1890. They choose the vast productive farmlands of India and China (North America looked good but too isolated for their tastes). Like H.G.Wells' Martians, they collapse from Earth diseases. However, the diseases they brought plowed through Earth's population. The remnants of the Aliens (think culturally retrogressive warrior-priest elites, serf-acolytes, and a tiny group of people who kept the ships together) are looking to survive. These are rather Star Trek type aliens, they look mainly human and can breed with humans. Some of the remnant engineers and techs have TL10+ knowledge (the species was once TL12 with super-tech, but they've lost much of that) and are looking to join with humans and build a viable life.

Think of the Tech subcast as having pluses in each attribute and telepathy. The Serf-Acolytes have enhanced ST, and HT plus three in each, and three levels of Weak Will. The Warrior-Priests have the same advantages as the Serf-Acolytes plus Strong-Will +3. Most of these aliens have intolerance and delusions that promote contempt for outsiders. The Techs are the least likely to have these bigotries because the Warrior-Priests had the least respect for them, they were literally Out Castes in that they had no place in the casts systems of the Warrior-Priests.

The local year of this world is 1937, Homeline calls this world Mongo because of the mixtures of medieval primitivism and high tech blended with strange monarchies and odder republics.

The Cabal is interested in the Telepathic and Psionic lore of the Warrior-Priests and the Techs. They also would like to see if they can grab off some Serf-Acolytes for themselves.
