- "Today, in the most dire of times, we Crusaders choose not only to believe in ourselves, but in each other. Today we face the aliens at our doors once again. Today, we take the fight to them. No Crusader stands alone. Today, we cancel another apocalypse."
~President Billy Smithsonian
Alien Invasion Day 6 has arrived, bringing with it their Excellency, Qadir of House Tintahal. This year's event runs until Tuesday, July 6th at 12PM Pacific, introducing Qadir of House Tintahal and bringing back Queen Ysjorgnak, Xygallix, the Alien Mechanic, First Lady Betty Smithsonian, Red, the Ace Pilot, Slisiblyp, the Alien Scientist, Kizlblyp, the Alien Traitor, and President Billy Smithsonian!
New Tier 6 Crusader: Qadir of House Tintahal
A bright flash appears in the night sky, giving a purple glow to the surroundings. Those who are awake--and not plugged into their phones--note the curious phenomenon and wonder what they should do about it...and then they forget.
The next morning, the ruler of their country is on the official broadcast channel, introducing the ambassador Qadir of House Tintahal, from the planet Dellorarsvetu, here to observe their new galactic neighbours and get to know them a little bit. (And maybe scout out their treasures.) As the Crusaders are such an eclectic concave of bodies, Qadir elects to tag along on their adventures as well, looking for new energy to taste.
Qadir of House Tintahal is a Support Crusader. When you want to add them to your formation, you can find them in slot 36.
