On March 9, Aegis unveiled a new initiative called Eagle Eye. Six orbital surveillance installations were set up in HIP 17225, HIP 17692, HIP 17892, HR 1185, Pleiades Sector IR-W d1-55, and Pleiades Sector KC-V c2-4 in order to monitor known [[Thargoid Surface Site]]s and collect data on Thargoid behavior outside of combat zones.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5aa12e112e30637590761b2c GalNet: Thargoid Surveillance in the Pleiades]</ref>

According to Admiral Tanner, the installations were able to track fluctuations in transmissions originating from Thargoid Surface Sites, and that these transmissions pointed to specific locations in human space which were likely future Thargoid attack targets. Tanner urged independent pilots to investigate a new set of signals detected by Eagle Eye to help thwart the Thargoids' plans.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5aab97a3bf2b063ade1cceca GalNet: Thargoid Surveillance Continues]</ref>

On March 15, Aegis Core announced an anti-Thargoid campaign in the Socho system. The operation's goal was not only to expel Thargoid forces from Socho, but to obtain specific technological components from Thargoid Interceptors and Scouts for comparison research.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5aaa63d040365a4fab270033 GalNet: The Purge of Socho]</ref> The operation concluded successfully.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5ab38926b72505384d3d896a GalNet: Socho Operation Complete]</ref>

==== Escalations and revelations ====

On March 22, 3304, after a month of relative calm, the station Glazkov Terminal in Irandan was attacked by the Thargoids. Both Irandan and HIP 21559 had been identified as likely targets for imminent Thargoid attacks by Eagle Eye, but only the latter system had seen a heavy influx of independent combat pilots come to its defense over the preceding week.

Later that same day, Aegis published a report containing significant insights into the Thargoids that had been gleaned with the help of [[Ram Tah]] and his [[Guardian]] research. The findings indicated that the Thargoids had warred with the Guardians because of the latter's perceived encroachment on territory that the Thargoids had seeded with [[Alien Structure]]s millennia earlier. Despite attempts by the Guardians to communicate with the Thargoids, the Thargoids' survival instincts were so strong that they refused to tolerate any potential threat and continued hostilities until the Guardians eventually expelled them using automated war machines. Professor Alba Tesreau commented that the Guardians' situation mirrored humanity's own: the Thargoids had long ago seeded territory that humans had unknowingly expanded into, and the current conflict was essentially a dispute over territory and resources. Tesreau asserted that the next step the Thargoids would take would be to aggressively mine mineral resources. Ram Tah noted that these revelations finally provided some answers about the Thargoids' overall goals and could ultimately aid humanity in the conflict.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5ab383f5b709787d505dd1a2 GalNet: Thargoid Revelations]</ref>

Meanwhile, [[Yuri Grom]] of the EG Pilots announced a campaign led by the EG Union to construct a new shipyard in CPC 20 6743. A spokesperson for the EG Union explained that the shipyard would construct new [[Farragut Battle Cruiser]]s to bolster humanity's defenses against a Thargoid invasion.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5ab3831fb7097848e4581ed1 GalNet: EG Union Campaign]</ref>
