Alien Craft: Unidentified Flying Objects

The alien craft in X-Com Apocalypse are airbourne biological constructs grown in a hostile otherworld. Ugly Fungus Organisms.

The alien menace has ten vehicles in which to invade Mega-Primus, each equipped with a strange pink beam weapon.
The UFOs should be all shot down or destroyed to slow and hopefully halt the invasion of the city. Crashed UFOs must be recovered to learn more about these strange flying ships, the aliens they contain, and the exotic technology within.

When the knowledge of reverse-engineering is understood and hybrid craft of X-Com's own design are eventually built and ready, eliminating the alien horde is within sight.

1 Armor values are read as: Top (above), Front, Left, Right, Rear and Bottom (below). The "Armor" value reported in the in-game UFOpedia is the sum of these values.
2 Total HP / Remaining (or less) HP to go down. Destroy shield first, if present.
3 Appearance of equipment depends on X-COM's score.

Also listed is the Overspawn. A huge unmanned ground vehicle that is deployed to cause terror and destruction within Mega-Primus.

Alien Craft Components

Any successful UFO crash recovery mission will enable X-Com to research their craft technologies:

Recovery of these three components is only necessary once. Research will enable development of X-Com hybrid vehicles.
Recovery of other UFO components (guns, shields, etc.) is also possible if they were not destroyed on the battlefield. Each UFO will provide one beam and (at best) two missile launcher technologies. Appearance of other exotic devices depends on X-Com's 'UFOs Shot Down' score, hence, shields will not be recovered if they were not used by aliens.
