Snowflakes

The Snowflakes are the members of the the gasan diaspora that appeared on Earth after the Red Light's failed invasion of Earth. They are close to three million in numbers.

History
During the invasion of Earth, the Red Light and gasan forces dispatched small troops across the Earth to occupy the main terran cities while their main forces fought the Martians in Montreal. After the Liberator forces regained the city, the Red Light and the Warms had lost a huge portion of their fleet and had barely enough ships left to retreat to RLSA-Earth. Due to the lack of ships, the gasan and Red Light soldiers that garrisoned the terran cities were abandoned on Earth when the Red Light retreated from Earth

While some stayed and tried to hold the cities from the terran forces, most of the gasan soldiers simply left the cities and went into hiding. In almost every country, the Red Light soldiers were shot on sight or given over to the Liberators. The gasans soldiers, however, were either captured and given over to the Liberators, were integrated with the rest of terran society or were simply left alone to live as undocumented citizens. In a few countries, they were shot on sight like the Red Light soldiers, for their affiliation with them. Because of this initiative, a lot of albino Terrans were mistaken for gasans and killed.

The gasans that remained on Earth became known as 'The Snowflakes'. The ones that were near the equator moved farther north before starting their new lives. Most of them found work and housing in terran cities before the war ended. A very small amount of them had their spouses with them on Earth during the invasion and continued to live with them. Most snowflakes married other gasans while others married and eventually had children with Terrans. This eventually led to a small group of half gasan, half terran appearing a generation after. They became known as the ‘Greys’, but the derogatory term for them is ‘muddy snow’.

While a the lack of ships during the retreat is one of the reason that explained the Snowflakes’ presence on Earth, a lot of them actually had access to ships but chose to stay on Earth to escape the famine. Especially the ones who were single or had their partners with them during the invasion. The Warm Gasans did acknowledge that but chose to not say it.
