	== Overview ==		== Overview ==
	~~Numerous~~ [[Thargoid Barnacle Matrix]] sites evolved into Spires~~. The~~ first ~~Spire~~ site ~~was~~ spotted on 16 October 3309.		Following the invasions of human occupied systems, a number of [[Thargoid Barnacle Matrix]] sites were discovered on worlds with thin ammonia atmospheres, leading to fears of Thargoid Colonisation effors. these Matrix sites eventually evolved into Spires, with the first site spotted on 16 October 3309.

	~~There are currently 45~~ of ~~known Thargoid~~ Spire sites~~. They are only on planets with~~ [[~~Atmosphere~~\|~~tenuous atmospheres~~]]. ~~These sites can be explored solo or in~~ a ~~group.<ref>[https://steamcommunity~~.~~com/app/359320/discussions/0/592885309361945693/ What did Odyssey add to Elite Dangerous?] - Sighman - Steam - 11 Sep 2024</ref>~~		While the exact function of the Spire sites is difficult to determine, they appeared to act as vast refineries and depots supporting the [[Thargoid Titan\|Titan]] in control of the system. In the later stages of the war, a process of contaminating these refineries proved critical to undermining the defenses of the eight Titan systems.

	~~The enormous~~ Spires ~~have petals to land~~ on~~. By activating various nerve~~ clusters ~~you~~ can ~~retrieve Thargoid~~ [[~~materials~~]].		== Features ==
			As of 3310 there were 45 known Thargoid Spire sites in the human [[Core Systems\|bubble]], all on planets with [[Atmosphere\|tenuous atmospheres]]. These sites can be explored solo or in a group.<ref>[https://steamcommunity.com/app/359320/discussions/0/592885309361945693/ What did Odyssey add to Elite Dangerous?] - Sighman - Steam - 11 Sep 2024</ref> In addition to the Spires themselves, several smaller elements can be found on the surface, including barnacle-like industrial hubs and large coral clusters covered in bio-material that can be scanned with an [[Artemis Suit\|Artemis suit]].

	[[Rescue Vessel\|Rescue Vessels]] ~~have~~ [[Mission Board\|missions]] to hand in these materials, ~~after which you can return with~~ a modified compound. ~~The missions rewards are engineer materials.~~		The enormous Spires have petals large enough to easily be landed on; at the base of these petals are arrays that can be activated by overloading various nerve clusters, providing Thargoid [[materials]]. During the war, [[Rescue Vessel\|Rescue Vessels]] had [[Mission Board\|missions]] to hand in these materials, providing a modified compound that could be returned to the site to contaminate it.

	[[Banshee\|Banshees]] ~~patrol~~ the Spire sites~~. They are aggressive with 3~~-~~4 attack modes and can simultaneously shoot multiple targets~~. The [[Scorpion]] SRV is useful in teams vs the Banshee with 1 driver and 1 turret gunner.		[[Banshee\|Banshees]] and [[Revenant\|Revenants]] patrolled the ground level regions of the Spire sites, making on-foot reconnaissance difficult. The [[Scorpion]] SRV is useful in teams vs the Banshee with 1 driver and 1 turret gunner. Banshees also made aerial combat difficult as their shut-down missiles could overwhelm AX craft with sheer numbers, even those equipped with [[Shutdown Field Neutraliser\|Shutdown Field Neutralisers]]. [[Thargoid Interceptor\|Interceptors]] such as the Orthrus and Cyclops may be seen entering and emerging from 4 portals of the largest spire, with the Orthruses summoning [[Thargoid Scout\|Scouts]] to the area if attacked. This concentration of interceptors (particularly the unarmed and valuable Orthrus) made spire sites a popular location for AX operations by multiple wings of commanders.

	~~[[Thargoid Interceptor\|Interceptors]] such as~~ the ~~Orthrus~~ and ~~Cyclops may emerge from 4 portals~~ of the ~~largest spire~~. ~~Destroying 1 may give a 40 mil [[credits]] reward~~.		Following the contamination of these sites and the destruction of the Titan's controlling their host systems, all known Thargoid Sites have entered a shutdown state. While the sites can still be visited and explored, the production facilities are dormant and no hostile craft can be found in the area.
