The Martian Solution X-COM UFO Defense

The Martian Solution is a critical research component in X-COM UFO Defense. Preceded by Alien Origins X-COM, The Martian Solution is unlocked by researching a living, captured alien of Leader or Commander rank.

The Martian Solution Research

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 efforts before it is too late. In order to progress we must capture the highest ranking aliens - the commanders - which only reside in alien bases.
