'''Thargoid Maelstroms''' are colossal artificial formations composed of highly corrosive gas clouds, deployed by the [[Thargoid|Thargoids]]. Their size is over 100 kilometres in diameter and resembles a small nebula. In orbits above [[Ammonia World|ammonia worlds]], they act as beachheads for invading Thargoid forces in adjacent systems. All Maelstroms were named after gods of thunder from various ancient Earth mythologies. | '''Thargoid Maelstroms''' are colossal artificial formations composed of highly corrosive gas clouds, deployed by the [[Thargoid|Thargoids]].

Eight Maelstroms arrived to the [[Core Systems|core systems]] at the end of November and in December 3308 after having traveled thousands of light years at superluminal speeds, bringing about the most devastating Thargoid attacks ever recorded. Although mysterious at first, their Thargoid origin was never disputed and chemical signatures confirmed it. The innards could not be explored at first because of caustic clouds and repulsing electromagnetic energy waves that appeared to be generated from a denser 'core' region of the cloud. They also generate the disruptive field first witnessed from the Major Anomaly in [[HIP 22460]], incapacitating any [[Guardian]]-based technology in their star systems. | Eight Maelstroms arrived to the [[Core Systems|core systems]] at the end of November and in December 3308 after having traveled thousands of light years at superluminal speeds, bringing about the most devastating Thargoid attacks ever recorded.

Over the coming weeks, 7 more anomalies were detected, in a large semicircle around the core systems, all of their courses converging on human inhabited space. | Over the coming weeks, 7 more anomalies were detected, in a large semicircle around the core systems, all of their courses converging on human inhabited space. | ||
