Our research now points to Mars as the base of Alien operations. The base is well hidden, and contains all the manufacturing and cloning facilities to fuel the infiltration of earth. It also seems to contain a controlling computer of some kind that controls the whole operation. It seems that the hive-like Alien society has some kind of 'Queen Bee'. This is their fundamental weakness - if we can eliminate the 'Brain' then the body will die. We must step up our research efforts before it is too late. In order to progress we must capture the highest ranking Aliens - the Commanders - which only reside in Alien Bases.
Alien Commander
Note that the last sentence of the official in-game description suggests that commanders can only be captured from alien bases. This is not correct as they also appear as part of a Battleship or even a base invasion crew. The game makes no distinction where the commanders are captured so any one can be used.
This is advantageous if you feel more comfortable capturing a Commander from a Battleship than from a base.
