the xiliens' spacecraft were capable of traveling one-tenth the speed of light, and could fire explosive laser beams from the domes on their underside. their ships could also encase targets as big as kaiju inside giant force-bubbles, then use tractor beams to haul them great distances, even from earth to planet x. they also possessed laser pistols that were capable of disintegrating a human being. their greatest power, however, had to be their ability to take control of any creature's mind; they did this to godzilla, rodan, and king ghidorah. these aliens were often called xians by american fans, though this is not an actual name.
