Before I read the title, I saw the alien struggling in the grass and thought it was harmful to them. Now I REALLY want an HFY story revolving around touching grass
Some people are allergic to grass. Also an early episode of Star Trek Enterprise have an away team go temporarily insane after inhaling some kind of spores from the local flora.
14:30 So if their leader gets killed they are basically left defenseless and orderless. This is not a good way to train soldiers. It will leave them unable to improvise when it is eventually needed. From what I’ve heard the US military is the opposite, at least the Marines. You kill the leader then you have just taken the regulator off and someone’s about to get creative and maybe create a new war crime.
You know whats weird? It seems obvious yet only NATO and NATO allies do this. At least China has some semblance of Combined Arms Tactics. In Russia you can't get anyone to work together and this is done deliberately to reduce the military's ability to rebel.

Well well well, if it isn't the only channel that i don't have notifications on for, yet somehow manage to catch every one of your videos within an hour of uploading.
This gent has, by far, the greatest range of character and voice that one could wish for as a story teller within the HFY community. Would like to see this gent apply himself to different genres.
I absolutely knew where this story was going - understimate humanity, lose catastrophically - right up to the moment when Tulvuri shot Calabrian. Well done and thanks for the originality.
There is zero chance that an alien species is caught off guard by our gravity. They would have measured it already, it’s not a difficult task to calculate.
I like your stories that show the aliens getting that you know what's handed to them in a silver platter! and how many of these proud aliens end up being nicely humbled!
Very well done. I thought I recognized the scenario but it was not quite what I remembered, and it turned out to be quite different. If only the typical AI mishmash of plagiarized material was this good at handling topics! This is by far the best site, not perfect, but far better than the alternatives, and the voice performers are definitely the best!
My one beef with this is that it said the moon was small and underdeveloped. Which i call BS. Our moon is massive. And it is definitely not underdeveloped.
It feels like Humans are being underestimated, lol. Without the proper forces for ground attacks, even our inferior tech is more than enough to deal with these jokers.
@@brandonheckman6004 Yeah, they did fix a few things that were lacking the first time around. It just bugs me when they rehash an old episode and pass it off as the new daily episode. Put it up for what it is: guardbro wanted to do a remake with some edits and fixes. Leave the daily post for an all new episode.
@@AprilK-w5m - Not at all. It's just that in most stories published these days,(particularly the AI generated ones) the lead character, Admiral, General, Platoon Leader, Animal Tamer, Scientist etc is female. Even if they aren't human. And of course, whenever they are mentioned, it's always preceded by at least 2 glowing adjectives. We all know that women are smarter than men, but it doesn't have to be mentioned every time a narrator program is opened....🙂
@@evankirkpatrick8741 I think that is an author problem and not a narrator problem. Maybe find a female author. It’s kind of difficult for most men to envision a female perspective so their characters can be kind of flat and lifeless and stilted. That goes both ways. Many women find it a challenge to write about dominant, commanding characters. For the most part it’s lack of experience on the subject. That’s a human thing and not a gender thing. You write about what you know to have well rounded characters.
Isn't it more difficult to drive a square peg through a round hole rather than a round peg through a square hole? That metaphor was skewed. There are a lot of plot gaps and failures in this story. Wouldn't an FTL capable ship that already had artificial gravity to handle the varied species gravity requirements throughout the varied needs of it's empire also have the tech to create individual gravity shields for the troops? This would offset the physical stress of high gravity worlds. This is an often overlooked detail in most of these stories. Why would the gravity control system be limited to the ship?
It depends on how the artificial gravity works. It possible to envision a system the can only add but not subtract from the gravity; and also one the needs a built-in type system that wouldn't be easy to use outside a ship.
So your expecting your listeners to believe a galaxy travling army, does not think to check gravity? Although the mastery of gravity is necessary for space travel.
So glad to be back in Real Space. Not like that Fake Space. Always pretending to be spacious when it's actually claustrophobic. It hates me, but I hated it first before I was born.
Have to say, this one was a lot of tease and setup for no playing-out. It's for sure a good detailing of the best case scenario of an invading slaver horde, but we never once see everything implied play out. Could do with less interjection of writer beliefs, it accomplishes filler text as opposed to actual events.
Honestly, not they probably could have worked around the problem without having to level the whole planet. You could still do alot to tear apart any ground targets without stepping foot on the planet, plus you have other races on the ship that would be capable of making an appearance on the ground even if they weren't specialist to fight, they don't even have to fight really just use them to make political connections and set about diplomacy with the ever present threat of orbital bombardment. You could claim a victory without having to use the birds as your main fighting force, or even without the humans knowing the gravity was too much for them. If you can establish that diplomatic foothold, you could then start enlisting humans which considering the objective was the conquer the planet anyways, you would eventually have to reach that step. I guess it worked out better for earth and the galaxy the way it happens in the story, but both the authority guy and the bird were both somewhat stupid.
This story was unsatisfying. I read the title and expected to hear about invaders struggling with Earth gravity, but nothing like that happened. Instead we listen to endless unnecessary details and no story gets told. Also, WAY to many commercials. The story was interrupted every three minutes with ads.
I prefer listening to you tell the stories in the other guy no offense to him I just think that if you put more effort into it and I quite like that please keep up the good work and have a good day or night depending on when you read this
This sounds suspiciously like another HFY story I encountered on another channel, by what must be the same writer. That empire was different, however, a decaying one that had already conquered humanity but abandoned Earth as it was forced to fall back. It had the same system of slavery, the same avian shock troops, and the same alien navigators.
I think it's set in the same universe. I heard the same story you did and it did have a decaying Abraxian Empire lead by people with the title Authoritarian. That story described the fall of the Abraxian Empire. This one seems to be the Abraxian Empire's initial contact with humanity.
@@noppornwongrassamee8941 Yeah, I forget which channel it was on, as this one is the only HFY channel I subscribe to. I will say, that story was memorable, however, so will be interesting to see where the author goes with it.

@@michaelpettersson4919 aw...
But the grass was deadly to them
There are some stories, but they are rare and usually not the focus of the story.

It's true of ALL the Armed Services of the United States.
It's like the krieg and commissar from w40k. Other regiments would have their c.o pushing them while the krieg would rein them 😂

Pretty sure that all special forces are like that

LOVE your ability to have different voices for the different characters. This makes the story MUCH MORE INTERESTING!! Thank You!
Aliens : HAHAHAHA I SHALL INVADE!
Gravity : No, I dont think you will

Clicked to listen to this video on my phone and I tripped. Seems fitting I lost to gravity too

They could have set up a moon base. They could have did an orbital bombardment. They could have controlled Earth easily without landing.
IMAGINE: in the “Dark Crystal” universe, this story taking place in the far future🔥🔥🔥
My one beef with this is that it said the moon was small and underdeveloped. Which i call BS. Our moon is massive. And it is definitely not underdeveloped.
Undeveloped as in uncolonized
@evankirkpatrick8741 and the part about it being small?
Does anyone know the name of the other video featuring The Abraxia Authority? Can't find it.
I think this is a repost
Good afternoon everyone

@@samuelramirez4985that depends on which part of the world you inhabit at the moment. Something to do with the planet spinning and time zones?

Your superior intellect is no match for our puny weapons.
good one
I'm about 2 minutes into this but I feel as if though I've heard a similar one before
This is a rework of one that HFY girl did with only minor changes!

Hello ☻
This is the most boring story I have ever heard
Than don't listen to it.
This is not an HFY story... humanity is barely mentioned, and the aliens go home without firing a single shot (at Earth)...
