Thargoid Barnacle: Difference between revisions

Line 9:

The peaks of each obelisk is coloured a creamy white, with a strange symbol visible on the side. This is currently the cause of much speculation amongst commanders with many believing it to be a reference to Barnard's Loop, an emission nebula in the Orion constellation.

[[File:Barnacle large cluster above.png|thumb|250px|A large cluster seen from above]]

After September 26, 3303, CMDRs began discovering much larger clusters of Alien Structures. 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.

Line 17:

Line 22:

Unknown Artefacts (UA) interact with the barnacle via a sort of tractor beam. The barnacle gives off visual and sound effects as any nearby debris slowly rises within the beam towards the UA, only to be dropped back onto the barnacle, having no obvious effect on anything in the end.

On June 2, 3303, CMDR Mobiusetti documented the first known interaction between a [[Thargoid Interceptor]] and Alien Structures on Pleiades Sector OI-T C3-7 A 6 at coordinates -42.77, -21.70, confirming the two are related. The Unknown Ship approached one Alien Structure, incapacitating any nearby ships and SRVs. The craft then rotated until its propulsion array faced and was aligned with the Alien Structure, before drawing a pulsing beam of light or energy from it for a brief period. The Unknown Ship then departed as rapidly as it arrived. It is possible that Alien Structures serve as refueling stations of some kind for Unknown Ships, and the [[Meta-Alloys]] they produce are fuel or repair materials for them, but this is currently only conjecture.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8S-4Oq9Xvc YouTube: They're Here...]</ref>

Line 31:

The Interceptor has a similar shield in combat when it takes too much damage. That usually happens when one of its petals (hearts) gets destroyed. The Thargoid ship may need to disable its shields before it can refuel/fire the green beam at the barnacles.<ref name=":0" />
