An original concept, but I don't understand why the aliens don't just pick up their vastly superior weapons and start a revolution. 2.5 million? They should have been ruling that slum, not getting ruled. No way you can tell me they are a neutral people with those kind of weapons. I know it said they were mostly drones and workers, but those weapons seemed pretty simple. Plus they built a bad ass suit for those slum lords.. build 100 of those or a thousand and you are set.
I think it was moreso that they were drones and workers not in the sense that they didn't know how to operate weapons, but that they had no order and structure. They could not see, as a group the benefit in starting any sort of revolution. It's like a colony of bees: remove the queen, and they become listless and uninterested, to the point of nearly starving.
