Line 5: === First contact and conflict === [[File:Thargoid ship.gif\|thumb\|200px\|A Thargoid ship in Frontier: First Encounters]] The name "Thargoid" was coined by humans shortly after the first reported encounters with the aliens, which are believed to have occurred ~~around~~in ~~the~~2849.<ref>Data ~~year~~taken ~~3125.~~from Tourist Spot Beacon 0184, Lave system</ref><ref name="DW">[https://www.drewwagar.com/lore/elite-dangerous-lore-the-thargoids/ Drewwagar.com: Elite Dangerous Lore: The Thargoids]</ref> In a blurred holo clip of one such encounter, some argued that the term "THARG" was visible on the hull of an alien ship, but this was never conclusively proven. Nevertheless, "Tharg" came to be associated with the aliens, and most commentators extended it to "Thargoid".<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/53se4s/first_thargoid_contact_22_beacon/</ref> The events surrounding first contact with the Thargoids were mostly suppressed and forgotten, and by the 3300's the Thargoids themselves were generally regarded as fiction. According to [[Alliance]] [[Alliance Prime Minister\|Prime Minister]] [[Edmund Mahon]], who is one of the few individuals with access to surviving records, the [[Intergalactic Naval Reserve Arm]], or INRA, fought a war against the Thargoids and eventually secured victory by deploying a bioweapon against the aliens. The Thargoids retreated, and for many years it was believed they had been driven to extinction or even never truly existed at all.<ref name="EDP">[[Elite Dangerous: Premonition]]</ref>
