Barnacle Matrices are recently discovered Thargoid surface structures that have been 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]].
Barnacle Matrices were Thargoid surface structures first discovered after the invasion of the human bubble in 3308. They were 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 new sites is currently unknown, though sounds and tremors in the regions suggest they are still growing, while many speculate they could be the beginnings of an active Thargoid colonization effort within human territory.
The exact purpose of these was initially unknown, though sounds and tremors in the regions suggested they were still growing, while many speculated 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.
