The Thargoids and humanity were embroiled in two wars. The [[First Thargoid War]] (3125-3151) is believed to have ended in a human victory with the [[Intergalactic Naval Reserve Arm]]'s successful deployment of the [[mycoid]] bio-weapon. The [[Second Thargoid War]] began in 3303 (Over 152 years later) and rapidly escalated, disrupting dozens of systems across the [[Pleiades Nebula]], [[Witch Head Nebula]], [[Coalsack Nebula]], [[California Nebula]] and the [[Core Systems]]. Following the battle of [[HIP 22460]], [[Azimuth Biotech]] deployed the [[Anti-xeno superweapon|Proteus Wave]] which failed to cripple the Thargoid species in August 3308.
