Three deadly factions, dangerous enemies and an overwhelming day to day struggle of life. That, in 14 words, is the central idea of the Invasion series, which puts the player in the treads of a fresh CS Lite recruit. Will you uncover the mysteries behind the Alien Pest Suppression Incorporated, an Omsk-based global organization? Will you suppress the insurgencies that plague the world? Will you beat back the Usurpation's advance and become a hero and go down in history..
..or will you perish in the attempt?
-----------------------------------------------------
Invasion, in total, is planned to extend up to 32 chapters (including the prologue and epilogue), but right now only 8 are published, listed below.

Questions and Answers - these are some questions some people asked (I also asked myself some questions) about the series.
Q: Why are the first few chapters extremely short?
A: I was hesitant to greatly expand on the map size due to a glitch known as the "logics freeze glitch". I also originally didn't know how to fit in the start of the map, so it does feel kind of rushed.
------
Q: Why do the APSI soldiers in some chapters attack you?
A: They're either given direct orders or they are attacking you for trespassing.
------
Q: Who is in control of the APSI?
A: Currently in control are all 20 APSI Commanders, lead by a single APSI Premier.
-----
Q: How did you make the APSI soldiers and insurgents?
A: I used a combination of nickname triggers and body-part modifying triggers. Some other units may also have modifications to their weapons or mobility via triggers.
-----
Q: Why have you been "inactive" in mapmaking lately?
A: One word sums it all up, LDR. Because of my pitifully low LDR, I am unable to publish another map without my LDR dropping harder than my country's economy.
-----
Q: Who is the main character?
A: That's you! The player plays as a CS Lite.
-----
Q: Why is the main character always silent?
A: The main character is purposely an empty, lifeless husk in terms of personality so the player can fill the character with their thoughts and opinions. Giving a character dialogue or something similar would disallow the player from expressing their thoughts via main character or, at the very least, greatly suppress them.
-----
Q: Why does the character have 500 HP? Don't CS Lites usually have lower?
A: While it's true that CS Lites have relatively low HP, the player has 500 HP because that's the HP average for protagonists (excluding Noir Lime and Heavy Battlesuit Marine).
-----
Q: Why does the APSI have Correction Nine and CS weapons?
A: Plot-wise, they have CS weapons either due to stolen technology or because of private defense contracts. They have C9 weapons because those are mass-produced in some of their facilities. Gameplay-wise, I gave them C9 and CS weapons because those are arguably the most versatile weapons out of any faction, which allows me to build units upon units. I currently have around 17 i'm not even sure in my own numbers units, as demonstrated in the APSI Units! (Test) map (currently unpublished).
-----
Q: I'm stuck in a level! What should I do?
A: Feel free to ask me on the forum PMs or on Discord (Ad Revenue#5680) for any advice. I'll be happy to help you pass the level and explain some of the elements that make it hard and how you can counter them.
