A '''Thargoid Barnacle''' is an organic [[Thargoid]] structure that extracts resources from a planet and converts them into [[Meta-Alloys]], a key component in Thargoid ships and technologies.<ref name="GC1">[https://canonn.science/codex/guardians-codex/ Guardian Codex 1/28 : Thargoid Log – Barnacle Seeding]</ref> The main structure consists of an organic growth with a central, ribbed peak surrounded by [[Thargoid Barnacle Barb]]s. The first Barnacles were documented in the [[Pleiades Nebula]] in 3302, and additional sites were discovered in the [[Witch Head Nebula]] in 3305. | A '''Thargoid Barnacle''' is an organic [[Thargoid]] structure that extracts resources from a planet and converts them into [[Meta-Alloys]], a key component in Thargoid ships and technologies.<ref name="GC1">[https://canonn.science/codex/guardians-codex/ Guardian Codex 1/28 : Thargoid Log – Barnacle Seeding]</ref> The main structure consists of an organic growth with a central, ribbed peak surrounded by [[Thargoid Barnacle Barb]]s.

After September 26, 3303, CMDRs began discovering much larger clusters of Alien Structures aka "Barnacles". These clusters had grown into a roughly octagonal shape, with crystal-like formations erupting from the ground and linking them together. It is possible that these large clusters are the precursors of future [[Thargoid Surface Site]]s. It's also called a Barnacle Forest due to the large scale.<ref>https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/355713-Alien-archeology-and-other-mysteries-Thread-10-The-Canonn?p=5952184&viewfull=1#post5952184</ref> | After September 26, 3303, CMDRs began discovering much larger clusters of Alien Structures aka "Barnacles".

[[Ram Tah]] decrypted ancient [[Guardian]] logs that indicated Thargoid Barnacles | [[Ram Tah]] decrypted ancient [[Guardian]] logs that indicated Thargoid Barnacles were designed to extract resources from a planet and transform them into [[Meta-Alloys]] for use in the production of Thargoid ships and technologies. The Guardians surmised that for the Thargoids, seeding a planet with barnacles was an important process in preparing an area for occupation.<ref name="GC1"/> The Thargoids' seeding of a region of space that was later developed by the Guardians became the basis for the [[Guardian-Thargoid War]]. | ||
==== Barnacle Matrices ==== | |||
Following the escalation of the [[Second Thargoid War]] after the battle of [[HIP 22460]] and the subsequent arrival of the [[Thargoid Titan|Titans]], Thargoid forces began invading the bubble in late 3308. By mid-3309 (after facing stiff opposition from human forces and the newly reformed [[Aegis]]), Thargoid forces began entrenching themselves in systems featuring Ammonia worlds. Over time, small clusters of barnacle like structures began appearing on these planets. | |||
By late 3309, many of these '[[Thargoid Barnacle Matrix|Matrix sites]]' had grown into vast Thargoid production sites, known as Spires. The purpose and function of these growths have not yet been determined. | |||
