General Information
An alien considered the weakest of them all. Sectoids look like the stereotypical alien abductor - skinny, grey and with big black eyes.
Sectoids are usually the first alien species a Commander will come across. They are lightly armoured and are slow moving in comparison to other alien species. They will usually go down after taking one or two direct hits with standard Earth rifles.
This race is often involved in terror attacks and is supported in these endeavours by the Cyberdisc.
Live Specimen
The Sectoid hierarchy ranges from soldiers to leaders with powerful psionic abilities. These psionic powers can be used to demoralise soldiers in combat, or even take control of their minds.
They tend to indulge in human abductions and cattle mutilation. The abduction is used to extract genetic material for cross breeding and developing clones for infiltrating human society. The cattle provide both nutrition and genetic material.
This race appears to want to develop superior genetic hybrids to increase the efficiency of their hive-like society.
Autopsy
The autopsy reveals vestigial digestive organs and a simple structure. The brain and eyes are very well developed. The structure suggests genetic alteration or mutation.
The small mouth and nose appear to have little function. The webbing between the fingers and the flat feet suggest aquatic origins.
There are no reproductive organs and no clues as to how this species can reproduce. They are most probably a genetically engineered species.
