"The human? What does Trevor Klenn have to do with Zalikar?"
"I do not yet know. But I have a mage that I sent out with another Hunt Squad to assist her in tracking Trevor down as well. Her names Parla. She says she can track Trevor down for us but we must guarantee her citizenship and a pardon."
"A pardon, sir?"Walhavia looked at Xanther strangely.
"Yes, Walhavia, Parla has a criminal background, i'm surprised you are ignorant to that fact. She has been a prisoner of ours for some time. When we fled Enubisa, she agreed to help us or she was going to be executed. If it wasn't for her, hundreds of Enubis's would be dead already by Kansarka's forces."
"So that's it, we trust a criminal?"
Xanther looked away then looked back at Walhavia.
"She is rehabilitated, I assure you."
For the invaders. Earth's defenses in space still fight on, and the O.R.D.S. system has not been useless, but as expected, it is limited. This has meant that though a bulk of the invading fleet is still engaged in space, some ships have entered the atmosphere and begun the planetary invasion.
For the Earth Humans
Kiera Fox is a former military officer who now works exclusively for Moëbius-Kravinski Syndicate as a mecha testing pilot. She is know for her skill and ability to adapt in the testing environment where any and everything can seemingly go wrong at random, such as items in the cockpit not working properly. As such, she's become a bit of an expert at piloting mechs and vehicles of all kinds, and gets a buff when crewing (to make reaching whatever that crew number is easier to reach).
The most recent model she has been testing is the MKS-300 Thermopylae. It is one of the largest mechs ever built by the MKS. It is slow, but agile for its size, and has the guns and heavy armor to back up that size. However, it's extreme cost and questionable utility (especially in light of the advancements made to the Warden Project) leave its continued production in question. That hasn't dissuaded Kiera however, who is on the record as stating that "Piloting a Thermopylae feels as good as sex."

EDIT: Added a bit of change.
You can expand the list by yourself if you want to add some more characters. Oh and to edit it too. It's just a rough list about the important characters anyway. Hell, I'm just a human after all.
Fleet Admiral Aurias (Human Soldier): Original creator of Operation Frontier, a colonizing mission to find a new primary home for humans of Earth. Though mankind has many outpost, there is not yet a true new planet that is claimed as a 2nd Terra. Aurias's goal was to find one, and allow for humanity to survive and live on no matter what happens to Earth in the coming war. He is KIA (for currently unknown reasons), and passed his vision and legacy to his daughter.
Fleet Commander Aelin Aurias (Human Soldier): Daughter of the Admiral. She is a competent commander and possibly a better tactical mind than her father. However, she is not the inspirational leader he was... yet. Her father's will made it clear that he viewed her as his natural successor, and thought that she had the vision and foresight of understanding necessary to see Operation Frontier through to the end, whatever that end may be.
General Richardson (Human Solder): Supreme Commander of the space forces defending Earth. He has limited control of the individual ground forces for different territories, but his office acts as a liaison between them to coordinate when possible and efficiently pass information.
General Sergey Vadik (Human Soldier): Commissar of the Rusviet Territories and in charge of the defense of Eastern Europe, Northern Asia, and parts of Central Asia. (no card as of yet)
Kiera Fox (Human Soldier): Test pilot for the mechs created by the MKS. Currently is testing, and loving, the giant behemoth MKS-300 when the invasion begins. No rank as she is not an official member of any military.
Jen Vesdev (Alien ?): High Warleader of the aliens invading Earth, though it might just be a title, not a name. No other information at this time. (no card as of yet)
Aris: A person who ran away from the city and now rides a motorbike shooting aliens
Heller: A hired assassin that can never seem to be found and only leaves small traces he was there
Dracor: The head slave master in the underground alien enslavent
Rowan: A hacker apprentice
Because of her affinity testing the MKS-300, when she is one of the members of its crew (ie. she was tapped to count her 3 power towards its crew cost of 7), it gets the +3/+2 bonus because she's part of the crew.
The Moëbius-Kravinski Syndicate (MKS): A near-governmental organisation, they have taken over the defense of central and western europe since the anhilation of the UWG's defenses there; as such their focus is on the developpement of defensive weaponry. Funding themselves through shadowy buisnesses in the Sol system, they provide cutting-edge armament to fight against the Invaders. It includes mechs of various sizes, combat suits, firearms of all categories, and more recently autonomous combat drones, such as the towering Wardens. They also work hard on the CyclOps Program, hoping to unlock the untapped potential in human beings, and use it as a weapon against the Alien threat.
They currently employ Kiera Fox as a test pilot.
The Abzalan Combine: A Mercenary organisation based on Mars. It worked contracts to engage in conflicts on Earth before the invasions, and is now the main fighting arm of the MKS.
Trevor Klenn: A fomer Abzalan mercenary and ex-CyclOps trainee, Trevor works for his own account as a spy, infiltrator, and bounty hunter. Hunted down by the Abzalan for his desertion, he evades them and executes his own contracts with uncanny ability. He recently worked for ex-Admiral Aurias and his daughter Aelin to gather intelligence on the Alien threat. His whereabouts are unknown.
Captain Joshua Velion : A captain part of Operation Frontier, under the command of Commander Aelin. His ship is the Carthago, a Juggernaut-class dreadnought of the Frontier Fleet, one of the six that were created to serve originally in Earth's defense.
Here is a finished product (of sorts) of the CyclOps Program:
"In war, sanity is a luxury"
The thug dragged the shackled and chained alien towards the cell entrance. The alien made a pitiful cry, the thug opened the cell door and tossed the alien into the cell. The alien layed there on the dirt floor spralled out not moving. Draco scratched his chin.
"Where did u find him at?" Draco asked the thug.
"He was found in Zalikars territory. He put up a fight, but we outnumbered him in the end." Draco looked surprised.
"In what used to be the United States? How did u get him here so fast?"
"We... had help. Kansarka."
Draco looked at the thug.
"Kansarka wants something from me and I dont know what it is. Maybe one of the slaves?"
The thug shrugged his shoulders. Draco smiled.
"On second thought, bring me the new slave. We will get answers and perhaps more money if we can get him to talk. Kansarka has dealt with me before, but has not been as forward to do business with me as he is now..." Dracos thoughts trailed off. The thug opened the cell door and retrieved the alien. He pushed him and he fell to his knees in front of Draco.
"Whats your name, slave?" the alien raised its head and glared at Draco.
"Mansava. My names... Mansava."
The Argont Prime, or simply known as the 'Dragon', is a superweapon of unknown origins. It is rumored that an ancient alien civilization used the combination of a remains of a dead dragon planeswalker, magic, and technology to build that particular artifact to give them an edge in an intergalactic war. And they also got wiped out because of that particular superweapon too.
After millenniums of floating endlessly in an unknown sector of space, Kansarka, the power hungry demon who already wasted thousands of worlds in the galaxy in his conquest of power stumbled at the Argont Prime and experimented with it. In the end, after knowing its capabilities and managed to control it, the galaxy shall know a true terror once more.
But, the only problem with the artifact that it needs a large amount of power to use it effectively. So, anyone who wants to control it would need a long time preparation to actually use it.

She lifted the chromed helm and traced its visor's edge with her finger, marveling at its light weight. She tapped the console again, scrolling down.

She read on, her smile stretching the further she went. She praised herself for accepting the one-time offer from the Syndicate. She was in for one hell of a fun time, she thought as she climbed into the suit and slipped the helm on her head.

The Invaders were in for a surprise.
Important sidenote : I realised the invading alien faction doesn't have a name yet (unless I missed something).
P.S. If someone already named the North American territory, let me know and I'll change its name above.
@Aryanf - Do the moonfolk kind of look like Torgruta from Star Wars? Maybe a different color skin... not sure, but maybe another avenue to look for art
Human card.
Some of the richer humans found refuge on other planets. With their wealth they can entice other planets to help even the ones that wish to stay out of the war.
I'll come up with stories later.
