The Flower Of Life...
Very little is known about the Invid race and their history, although it is believed that they are slug-like, aquatic creatures in their native form originating from the swamp world of Optera. The Invid are a race of beings that thrive on and ingest the substance "Protoculture", an energy source that is a derivative of the Invid "Flower Of Life", an indigenous plant to Optera. Optera Surface

Many Centuries ago, a scientist of the Robotech Masters named Zor, discovered the Flower and its unique properties while surveying that world. It was discovered that a form of chemical "cold fusion" was used in the Flower's natural pollinating process to release its spores from its hard shell. Zor derived a way to contain this power by storing it under pressure in an artificially created "cell", which offered a near infinite supply of energy for many scientific and engineering applications. Thus was the discovery of "Protoculture", literally translated to mean "Zor's Science". It was this discovery that enabled the inconceivable notions of extending life by centuries, selective Biogenetic Engineering, and near instantaneous Interstellar Space travel by providing enough energy for the theoretical process of "Space Folding".

Realizing the power of this discovery, the Robotech Masters conspired to rule the known Universe. To hold their dominance, the Masters ordered their army of genetically engineered Worriers, the Zentraedi, to defoliate the Planet Optera of all plant life so that no other society could possess this power. Left to starve on Optera, the Invid ruler The Regent, swore that one day he would have his vengeance on the Masters, and spent several long generations evolving his species for war. When that time came, the Invid delivered a surprise attack on Zor's Battlefortress during a Protoculture 'seeding' mission in a remote star system. With Zor and the entire crew being killed in the attack, the ship's artificial intelligence (E.V.E.), severely malfunctioned, and Folded the Giant Ship far into the unknown vastness of Space. It was this ship, which was to crash on an unknown planet and be renamed the SDF-1, and the 'secrets' that it possessed, were the secrets of Protoculture.

Invasion of Tirol
When the main fleet of the Zentraedi armada left Tirol to participate in the Final Battle of the First Robotech War on Earth, it left Tirol entirely defenseless to an armed invasion. The Regent's bloodlust for Conquest after the 'stealing' of their Flower Of Life meant a swift and terrible vengeance on the Master's Home World. After tearing the planet apart, the Invid could find no trace of their sacred treasure, and executed most of the population who would not reveal to them the location of where the Masters had hidden the Flower. With their occupation of Tirol complete, a fleet of unknown spacecrafts approached their position. Sensing the use of Protoculture in the REF's vessels (which had been constructed using the technology of the SDF-1), the Invid set out to attack these unknown "Disciples of Zor" who were in possession of their stolen Lifeblood, and the object of their quest for vengeance.
