RTFM, or perhaps that should be "RTF-Ufopedia"!

I guess the background to the original conspiracy is revealed in
XCOM: UFO.

-- SPOILER SPACE --




















Most of the alien species encountered are genetically engineered, or
mind-controled, or both. In other words, they are pawns of some
higher race that is using them to investigate earth. If X-Com fail,
humans will be nothing more than another slave race, only existing
as some sort of modified experimental mutant working for the alien
leaders.

There isn't a "united planets league" attacking earth. All those
different alien races are simply the end product of planets that
failed to resist.
