The Race had already conquered two planets with a relative ease. They originally did not expect any surprises with the Earth conquest. The last probe which they sent arrived in 1141, 800 Earth years before their planned invasion. The Race, being a species that exhibited slow technological advancement, didn't expect the major technological change that would sweep mankind during that period. Nor did they expect the global conflict that greeted them.

abstract
| - The Race had already conquered two planets with a relative ease. They originally did not expect any surprises with the Earth conquest. The last probe which they sent arrived in 1141, 800 Earth years before their planned invasion. The Race, being a species that exhibited slow technological advancement, didn't expect the major technological change that would sweep mankind during that period. Nor did they expect the global conflict that greeted them. By December 1941, the invasion fleet was in orbit around Earth and started reconnaissance of terrestrial cities. These were detected by human radar, but most humans thought it was some radar artifact rather than the Race's killercraft. On May 30, 1942, a large number of nuclear devices were sent into the earth atmosphere so that an EMP would cripple Tosevite electronics, but as humans still used vacuum tubes, EMP was less effective than the Race had hoped. After this, the Race launched the actual invasion of Earth.
