Thargoid Barnacle Matrix: Difference between revisions

Barnacle Matrices are recently discoveredwere Thargoid surface structures thatfirst discovered after the invasion of the human bubble in 3308. haveThey beenwere detected in a number of star systems with the Thargoid Control status that feature landable worlds with Ammonia atmospheres<ref>https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/651d84027820350c9003c585</ref>. Unlike traditional [[Thargoid Barnacle|barnacles]], these structures are vast, clustered in areas up to several kilometers across and guarded by [[Revenant|Thargoid Revenants]].

The exact purpose of these newwas sites is currentlyinitially unknown, though sounds and tremors in the regions suggestsuggested they arewere still growing, while many speculatespeculated they could be the beginnings of an active Thargoid colonization effort within human territory. Following a period of 'growth', these sites eventually became [[Thargoid Spire|Thargoid Spires]]<ref>https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/652fe5ed58948450a109f734</ref>; vast structures that seem to act as refineries and depots supporting nearby Thargoid [[Thargoid Titan|Titan]] systems. later in the war, a process of contaminating these refineries proved critical to undermining the defenses of the Titans, eventually leading to the destruction of the first Titan, Taranis.
