The Solar System, just outside the Earth's detection systems...
In the dark expanse of space, a massive starship comes out of warp and parks itself in the shadow of a satellite. Whether it was a planet, a moon, or rock, it didn't matter. Secrecy was important at this time, it didn't need the inhabitants of "Earth" to learn of their plan right away. Inside of the ship, are thousands of aliens. The aliens are 2 meters tall, digititrade legs, scaly blue skin, but yet very thin. They are dressed like the knights of a king, awaiting orders for war. At a part of a ship, four of these beings are in conversation with each other.
One is dressed in white robes and has several mechanical limbs attached to his back, this is Kabak, the leader of the Guild of the Smiths.
Another is a woman, you can tell from the shorter stature and the fact her skin is less scaly. She is dressed like the nomads of ancient times, carrying a staff in hand. This is Ravorzhazun, leader of the Shadow Walkers.
The next is a being of dark and blood red armor, his glowing red eyes the only visible aspect of his body, which produces a red mist. This is Alvanax, leader of the Forged Ones.
The last is a man wearing thick armor, making him look more muscular than his brethren. But what is unique is the crown on his head. It is made up of two parts, the bottom part resting on his head, like a true crown. But the top part floats above him in shards, making a new image every time he moves his head. This is Tassartadaris, leader of these people: The Daeloss, children of the stars.
Alvanax asks in his dark ways that make everyone believe he is a villain, "Must we waste time with creating an army like this? I understand that the dark one must be defeated, but this is a waste of time. Let me take a fleet of the Forged Ones and I will personally slit his throat!" Ravorzhazun hisses, "Learn your place before the Leader, Alvanax. My people and your People might have just been reaccepted into society, but that does not give to us the right to let hubris guide our ways!" Tassartadaris yells, "Enough! Kabak,finish your explanation."
Kabak clears his throat, "As I was saying, if we are to defeat the Dark One, we will need an army. But we need an army larger than the one we had before." Ravorzhazun asks, "You want us to find an army with more than 3 trillion soldiers? May I ask how we will do that when the maximum population our civilizations had at its highest was 1 trillion. And why must we bother with these 'Earthlings?' They only 7 billion lifeforms on the planet, and have yet to colonize another world." Kabak tells her, "There is an answer to all of that. Earthlings and Daeloss are able to reproduce with each other. We may have lost the drive to reproduce naturally long ago, but we are able to artificially inseminate their females with our young and start producing warriors at a fast rate. And once we have enough, we will...Forgive me if this doesn't sound right, Uplift them to become an advanced civilization as powerful as our own and let them join us with my prediction of 7 trillion warriors. My lord, what do you believe we should do?"
