 The Pod People are a race of nomadic, extraterrestrial parasites originating from a now dying planet.Realizing that it was only a matter of time before the planet's resources would be completely depleted, the pods somehow evolved the ability to defy gravity and leave their planet's atmosphere in the search of a new world to colonize.For millennia, the pods floated in space like spores, propelled by the solar winds, some occasionally landing on inhabited planets.
