In Fantastic Four #577, the FF find four species from around the universe camped out on the Moon, awaiting the return of the Inhumans. When Black Bolt and the Inhumans come back, these folks will unite with them and make a new home for themselves, on Earth, naturally.
A couple of things. First, haven't the various species in the universe learned to leave Earth alone? Every intelligent species in the Marvel Universe has tried to pull something with Earth at some point, and they've all been sent packing. Earthlings are freaking nuts, and you don't want any part of that. Don't think you can coexist peacefully with them either. The Skrulls tried that with their "embrace change" nonsense, and we see how that worked.
Secondly, and I believe this is accurate (finally found a review that mentioned it), but each of the groups (all of whom, like the Inhumans, are the result of Kree tampering with other species' genetics) has a queen, who are planning to all marry Black Bolt (I'm not clear on whether they know he's dead and simply figure he'll be back, or don't know he's dead). They expect Medusa to simply go along with this? Well, she is the one who told Crystal she had to marry Ronan to unite their people, I guess she can take one for the team as well.
Thirdly, Dire Wraiths! Where are the SpaceKnights?! Oh right, they were being controlled by the Phalanx. Well, they ought to be over that by now, get on the ball, there's some banishing to Limbo that needs doing. Or kill them. Whichever. Really, who's going to trust Dire Wraiths? Sure, they'll settle peacefully with these other Inhumans races on Earth. Then they'll make the sun into a star like the one their world revolved around, and basically destroy Earth*.
Fourth, apparently the Inhumans didn't go to the Kree to rule them and look after them, but to grind them into the dust, which is what the Kree figured when the Inhumans first showed up. Not sure how these people from across space know that, but whatever. Who knows, maybe they're misinformed, though it would explain the cavalier attitude most of the Royal Family took to the Kree losses during War of Kings.
If it's the case, I hope the Kree send the Inhumans packing. I don't care for the Inhumans. I'd like Crystal to stay, she can feel a sense of responsibility and stick with Ronan to help lead the Kree. Sure, the Kree might not want any Inhumans around if it comes out their intentions toward the Kree were hostile, but if anyone can get away with being married to an Inhuman, it's Ronan the Accuser. Go ahead, say something about it. Congratulations, he killed you with his Universal Weapon.
* One thing I learned while trying to look up this issue was that the Wraiths have popped up in the Marvel Universe (as opposed to Limbo) in comics that aren't SpaceKnight-related since Rom stopped their invasion of Earth. They showed up in Nova's series from the '90s, which I guess makes sense. He was in outer space a lot then, too, but I figured they'd been basically unused since Rom ended.
