An '''Alien Structure''' (colloquially referred to as a "Barnacle") is an organic structure, consisting of a central, ribbed peak surrounded by [[Organic Structure|Organic Structures]]. The existence of these objects was first hinted at during a trailer for [[Elite Dangerous: Horizons]] released on December 15th 2015.<ref>[https://youtu.be/VKWIJ-H-WxI?t=1m Elite Dangerous: Horizons Launch Trailer]</ref> | An '''Alien Structure''' (colloquially referred to as a "Barnacle") is an organic structure, consisting of a central, ribbed peak surrounded by [[Organic Structure|Organic Structures]].

Many attempts have been made to make an Unknown Artefact (UA) interact with the barnacle, but no response has been evoked. The UA appears to decay as normal if dropped on or near it, and scanning the spires with the UA in the ship or SRV cargo hold also appears to have no response. | Many attempts have been made to make an Unknown Artefact (UA) interact with the barnacle, but no response has been evoked.

On June 2, 3303, CMDR Mobiusetti documented the first known interaction between an [[Unknown Ship]] 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> | On June 2, 3303, CMDR Mobiusetti documented the first known interaction between an [[Unknown Ship]] and Alien Structures on Pleiades Sector OI-T C3-7 A 6 at coordinates -42.77, -21.70, confirming the two are related.
