	The Thargoids and [[Human\|humanity]] were embroiled in two wars. The [[First Thargoid War]] (3125-3151) is believed to have ended in a human victory with the [[Intergalactic Naval Reserve Arm]]'s successful deployment of the [[mycoid]] bio-weapon. The [[Second Thargoid War]] began in 3303 (Over 152 years later) and rapidly escalated, disrupting dozens of systems across the [[Pleiades Nebula]], [[Witch Head Nebula]], [[Coalsack Nebula]], [[California Nebula]] and the [[Core Systems]]. Following the battle of [[HIP 22460]], [[Azimuth Biotech]] deployed the [[Anti-xeno superweapon\|Proteus Wave]] which failed to cripple the Thargoid species in August 3308. The Thargoids responded by mobilizing invasion fleets via 8 [[Thargoid Maelstrom\|Maelstroms]] that converged on the human inhabited [[Core Systems\|bubble]].

	The location of the Thargoid homeworld, if such a place exists, is unknown.

			=== Ethology ===
			The Thargoids possess incredibly advanced biomechanical technology and have existed for millions of years. However, canonically their rigid, instinctive nature makes them very resistant and slow to adapt to sudden changes in tactics and evolution.
