Harvesters
Background
Harvesters are an alien species which travels from planet to planet in order to harvest all the natural resources of the planet. They have no vocal chords and communicate using telepathy.
During the events of Independence Day (1996)
July 2nd, the Harvesters in their mothership arrive at the Moon. They then send smaller spaceship and fly them to major Earth capitols. A signal is sent and all of the spaceships attack the capitols.
July 3rd, the Black Knights squadron start a counter-attack, but find out the spaceships have shields and are then attacked by smaller spaceships that also have shields and one of the Pilots is killed when his jet rams into the spaceship. The Black Knights are systematically picked off one by one, including Capt. Jimmy Wilder. Capt. Steven Hiller ejects from his jet when it runs out of fuel and also causes the alien spacecraft to crash. He walks over to the spacecraft and punches the Harvester pilot unconscious after welcoming it to Earth.
July 4th, Hiller and David Levinson flies the alien craft into space and enter the alien mothership and see large amounts of Harvesters preparing for an invasion. David hacks into the mothership's system and uploads a virus. President Thomas J. Whitmore and others attack the spaceships and the missiles hit their targets. Area 51 is attacked by alien craft. President Whitmore fires his last missile at the main alien spaceship firing device but misses. Lt. Peterson goes to fire his missile, but is blown up by an alien space craft. Russell Casse is the last remaining pilot with a missile and attempts to fire his last missile, but it malfunctions, forcing him to kamikaze into the firing device. The alien spaceship explodes into pieces and everyone celebrates. David and Hiller fires the nuclear missile at the command center of the alien mothership They fly out of the alien mothership just as the nuclear weapon goes off, and the alien mothership explodes.
