Take an ancient and powerful alien race living in a transdimensional
area behind portals on things like Io, and mix in ludicrous amounts of
cthulhu, and you have the equivelant of the Dark Conspiracy beasties.

Now take a second nosey alien race who opens those portals, and you've
definately got Dark Conspiracy.

A lot of people slam the game, but it's not really all that bad, a tad
overpowered maybe, but fun nevertheless.
