An '''Alien Structure''' (colloquially referred to as a "Barnacle") is a [[Thargoid]] structure that extracts resources from a planet and converts them into [[Meta-Alloys]], a key component in Thargoid ships and technologies. The main structure consists of an organic growth with a central, ribbed peak surrounded by [[Organic Structure]]s. The Thargoids seed Alien Structures across a region in preparation for its occupation.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/312632-Meta-Alloy-Ripe-Barnacle-sources?p=6465953&viewfull=1#post6465953 Guardian Codex 1/28: Thargoid Log - Barnacle Seeding]</ref>
