	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\|research]] efforts before it is too late. In order to progress we must capture the highest ranking Aliens - the [[Commander (Alien_Rank)\|~~Commanders~~]] - which only reside in [[Alien Base Assault\|~~Alien Bases~~]].

			*While the topic tells you that commanders are only found in bases, this is not true. A [[Battleship]] will also possess a Commander, as will a [[Base Defence]] mission (which uses a Battleship crew).
	~~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~~.		*Once you've researched The Martian Solution, the aliens become more pro-active in dealing with X-Com. For the rest of the game, an [[Alien Retaliation]] mission is scheduled each month in addition to the aliens' other activities, targetting the earliest-built X-Com base that doesn't already have a Retaliation mission active.

	~~This~~ is ~~advantageous if you feel more comfortable capturing~~ a ~~Commander from a Battleship than from a base~~.

	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.
