Black Mesa Incident: Combine Proxy War?

I’m not sure if there is evidence supporting this, and the reason for why I am asking. When the Black Mesa Incident occurred, Nithilanth took advantage of the window of opportunity to invade Earth, through the Black Mesa Research Facility. However the question to ask is, did he act on his own terms or was he ordered by the Combine to capture the planet under his own domain? We know the Combine conquered his home world, meaning whatever he owned they now own as well. Even in the real world, terrorist organizations fight wars and are supported by higher terrorist organizations in a manner of a Proxy War. Technically meaning, it could make the Combine a belligerent in the Black Mesa Incident, just indirectly by using another “faction” to fight for them rather than use their own forces/resources until the time came later on (acting as commanders).

Though all of this is conflicted by by a statement by the Gman after Nithilanth’s defeat who remarks, “Xen is now under our control for the time being.” So I need someone to take this information in regard of who was involved, since I already learned my lesson in posting speculation. Were the Combine belligerents in the Black Mesa Incident by having Nithilanth act as commander of the alien slave forces on Xen?

Thanks!
