Locus 5 is the historical and common name for the society of Greys that has been operating illegally on earth since the 1700s.  Locus 5 and the Galactic Federation’s actions against it were the talk of the galaxy throughout the 20th century.  Locus 5 is considered responsible for illegal DNA trafficking, poaching humans, poaching cultural information from protected worlds, megalarceny and a few hundred thousand counts of manslaughter.


'''History and Activities'''

Locus 5 was originally a fleet of Grey spacecraft about 10 or 15 strong.  Once they found the sol system, they established bases on the moon, mercury and a number of large asteroids.  It was from their largest base on the moon that they launched raids on earth.  Once they had established a beachhead in the cold wastes of Siberia, they began recruiting humans to help them manipulate societies around the world, as well as to gather cultural information for export.  


But human groups have a strange way of getting away from their masters, especially secretive Greys.  Many of the early manipulators found their plans and even themselves gradually being taken over by their human servants.  The Greys would work through secret societies, religious sects and political movements, but then would have to abandon them once the humans started taking control.  In the waning days of the 19th century, Locus 5 was a group of very secretive Greys with some support from a vast array of secret societies that may or may not be under their control.


The 20th century saw the official breakup of Locus 5 due to a secret war with the GalFed.  After a series of disastrous manipulations, which were broadcast around the globe and beyond, the Galactic Federation started to take more interest in the activities of the protected world of Earth. Outraged when they found Grey influence, the GalFed hired a number of mercenary groups to get the aliens out of the Sol system.


The war started in space but quickly moved to the earth.  The Greys were forced to abandon their space outposts and retreat into secrecy on earth.  The mercenaries followed and suddenly there was a covert war going on in the most dangerous time in Earth’s history. The campaign was viewed as a success by the Galaxy, but the actions of some mercenaries have become a black stain on the reputation of the Galfed. A GalFed monitor ship had to shoot down Soviet, American and French ICBMs on 7 separate occasions when either the Mercenaries or the Greys would be less then discreet about their actions.


'''Modern Locus 5'''


The war had been reduced near the end of the century to Greys frantically trying to stay hidden while alien mercenaries (often with duped human allies) searched them out.  When first contact came and humans were informed on the Grey’s activities, it suddenly became much more dangerous to be a Grey on earth.  They are no longer an alien, independent of human concerns; they are now simply a criminal with big eyes and grey skin. Locus 5 nowadays is extremely secretive, using extremely secretive agents to ferry information between its extremely secretive subgroups.


The mercenaries are all gone from earth now.  No longer must a Grey hide from a occasional scaly Rangoon with a electro-disintegrator, now they must hide from a constant stream of sharp eyed primates with submachine guns.
