It's almost as if they're expecting us to know there are aliens in there already.

Hmm. Well, checking out the game's forums, it says there's an "alien weltball player" on page 160 of the book. Also, aliens and mutants exist in the setting according to further discussion in there. Hard to believe such things wouldn't have more impact on the core rulebook.
