'''The Combine''' is the main antagonistic force of the ''Half Life'' series, first making their debut in ''[[Wikipedia:Half-Life 2|Half-Life 2]]''. They are an inter-dimensional alien empire ruled by [[Combine Advisors|bio-mechanical emotionless, cultureless, logical beings]] who enslave, assimilate and exploit all other sentient life for their own purposes, mostly for amoral scientific advancement. |

The Combine is the main antagonistic force of the Half Life series, first making their debut in Half-Life 2. They are an inter-dimensional alien empire ruled by bio-mechanical emotionless, cultureless, logical beings who enslave, assimilate and exploit all other sentient life for their own purposes, mostly for amoral scientific advancement.
They were drawn to Earth after hearing of the Xen invasion from Half-Life, and then managed to conquer the planet within a mere seven hours.
The Combine rely on technology which allows them to transform other creatures into their mindless or otherwise brainwashed servants and modify their bodies to turn them into something different entirely. They are also notable for their method of using the technology of other races against them, often redesigning things such as weapons for greater efficiency.
Most of the Combine enemies Gordon Freeman fights are masked transhuman soldiers. These biologically modified Combine units are known as "Synths", and the sentient creatures that allegedly control the Combine Empire are the "Advisors", which resemble giant featureless slugs/worms but have powerful telekinetic abilities and a deadly tongue that can drill out and extract information from a person's brains.
Another notable Combine unit is the "Strider", an extremely dangerous tripod creature equipped with a powerful pulse cannon, warp cannon and invulnerable to most weapons aside from heavy-hitting ordnance such as energy pellets, rockets and Magnusson Device explosives.
Trivia
- In the original Half-Life, the Nihilanth made reference to a much more powerful force that had once enslaved and wiped out most of his kind, which forced him and the other aliens to seek refuge in the Xen dimension. When Half-Life 2 was released, this powerful force was retroactively revealed to be the Combine.
