Detailed walkthrough
The alien invaders have set up advanced devices to collect data on the inhabitants of Appalachia. A mysterious ally named Homer has remotely disabled the force fields surrounding these P.R.O.B.E.s and requests that the Vault Dwellers destroy them. This operation won't be so simple, as the UFO above will beam down alien soldiers to defend their technology.

Repel wave after wave of aliens and defeat their leaders. When the P.R.O.B.E.s are destroyed, the Galactic General himself will teleport down with the full force of the cosmos. Defeat him to send the invaders into retreat.

Rewards

 * Defeating each alien boss will grant a small amount of XP as a quest reward.
 * The full rewards are not yet implemented into the game.
