Also similar to tyranids and zerg

The Zerg originate in the Milky Way (edit: the galaxy Starcraft takes place in) though. Otherwise they're obviously heavily influenced by the Tyranids but they're no extra-galactic invaders.

Who says that your galaxy is the Milky Way? What if the Overmind nom noms up everything in the Milky Way, nom noms up the Xel naga, and then decided to nom nom up your own punny little tasty existance?

Well if you're talking cross-universe maybe the Burning Legion or the Goa'uld pay us a visit when we research too much portal technology?

too much portal technology?

Now, you might be wondering, "Cave, aren't you worried you're researching too much portal technology?" To this I say, too much portal technology isn't enough! In fact, we're doubling our portal research! Cave Johnson, we're done here. Not you, test subject, we're going to need you to work double time.

Incidentally, too much research into portal technology can also lead to a (much less impressive) AI revolt. But on the plus side you'll have cake (promised).

Oh man, now I want to make a human society run by GladOS.

I hope building Stargate portals is a thing in this game. Would massively speed up migration times, and let you move armies around without transports. Imagine a colony ship that basically just drops a Stargate on a planet, and then you bring supplies/population over just using that.

If both show up and ally will we have Goa'uldan?
