One theory is that Bastion's growing number of radio towers and neon lights combined to act as a beacon to all beings, from Foreign Stars. They came for the signal, stayed for the music and culture.

Visitors are welcome, of course. There can be no greater crime than depriving another being of the opportunity to live in Bastion. The fact that they've come all this way shows they've got good taste.

The trade opportunities alone are worth putting up with the occasional cosmic monstrosity for.

ALIENS
- They are more advanced than us, but in a very specific way.
- They bring something with them, and seek to take something home.
- It’s unclear where their bodies end and their technology begins.

LIVING IN BASTION
- There are always barriers to integration.
- They always have a means of communication, however ineffective.
- Their desires are relatable, but through an alien lens.
LOST IN DEEP COUNTRY
- Some rule as Gods.
- Some have established isolated communities.
- Some have become monsters of legend.
