This is how I think the Combine go about invading other universes as well as my view on whether they have advanced space tech or not.
The Combine invaded the Earth after learning of the Nihilanth’s location. Initially, they had no desire to keep the planet or any part of its dimension; rather they intended to invade, crush Earth and their old enemy and leave. Instead, they struck a deal with Wallace Breen (and likely the G-man). The Combine would keep Earth in exchange for the human race proving its usefulness to their empire. Thus mankind was placed under a harsh, oppressive government constructed by Breen and the Universal Union. During this time, they discovered that mankind possessed local teleportation; something they wanted desperately.
It is possible that the events of Half-Life don’t show the Combine’s usual tactics for invading a universe. They likely invaded a single planet (Earth) using an already existing Resonance Cascade to do so; meanwhile, intending to pull out shortly after their goal was complete. It is also highly probable that they didn’t invade with a space fleet; not because they don’t have one, but because we (and nothing within a large radius of Earth) don’t have a space capable military.
Under the normal circumstances of invading a universe, the Combine probably open portals on many planets spread out across the universe. They then conquer and assimilate by taking specimens of the “best” species and slaughtering the rest. These specimens are breed and experimented on until the best synth can be made from them. At the same time, they begin harvesting all resources the planet has to offer in an accelerated manner. Also at the same time they would send out space fleets to take over other worlds not hit by portals. They would then continue to spread, assimilating resources, life forms and technology; building new citadels and ships and continually growing in size and power.
Combine Space Fleet: Some may argue that the Combine don’t have advanced space travel and don’t need it due to their interdimensional nature. However, this is probably not the case. The fact that the Combine are said to control entire universes (and only have interdimensional portal technology) implies that advanced space travel is a necessity. The reasons behind this are one, the need to travel across the universe once they invade through portals; and two, the need to defend from other advanced space faring empires that would annihilate the Combine from orbit as soon as they come through their portals.
Any thoughts?
