A '''Thargoid Barnacle''' is an organic [[Thargoid]] structure that extracts resources from a planet and converts them into [[Meta-Alloys]], a key component in Thargoid ships and technologies.<ref name="GC1">[https://canonn.science/codex/guardians-codex/ Guardian Codex 1/28 : Thargoid Log – Barnacle Seeding]</ref> The main structure consists of an organic growth with a central, ribbed peak surrounded by [[Thargoid Barnacle Barb]]s. | A '''Thargoid Barnacle''' is an organic [[Thargoid]] structure that extracts resources from a planet and converts them into [[Meta-Alloys]], a key component in Thargoid ships and technologies.<ref name="GC1">[https://canonn.science/codex/guardians-codex/ Guardian Codex 1/28 : Thargoid Log – Barnacle Seeding]</ref> The main structure consists of an organic growth with a central, ribbed peak surrounded by [[Thargoid Barnacle Barb]]s. The first Barnacles were documented in the [[Pleiades Nebula]] in 3302, and additional sites were discovered in the [[Witch Head Nebula]] in 3305. | ||

The peaks of each obelisk is coloured a creamy white, with a strange symbol visible on the side. This is currently the cause of much speculation amongst commanders with many believing it to be a reference to Barnard's Loop, an emission nebula in the Orion constellation. | The peaks of each obelisk is coloured a creamy white, with a strange symbol visible on the side.

After September 26, 3303, CMDRs began discovering much larger clusters of Alien Structures aka "Barnacles". These clusters had grown into a roughly octagonal shape, with crystal-like formations erupting from the ground and linking them together. It is possible that these large clusters are the precursors of future [[Thargoid Surface Site]]s. It's also called a Barnacle Forest due to the large scale.<ref>https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/355713-Alien-archeology-and-other-mysteries-Thread-10-The-Canonn?p=5952184&viewfull=1#post5952184</ref> | After September 26, 3303, CMDRs began discovering much larger clusters of Alien Structures aka "Barnacles".

Thargoid Barnacles have thus far been entirely unresponsive to all attempts at communication as well as attacks, and they are also impervious to damage. Ships and SRVs cannot directly target them, and they do not appear on scanners. | |||
When nearby, a strange sound can be heard coming from it, which sounds similar to an [[Unknown Artefact|Unknown Artefacts]], but rather sounds more like an animal noise.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8CW2U5IJGc Elite dangerous: Barnacles sound]</ref> | |||

It has been observed when a Thargoid Interceptor visits a Thargoid Barnacle site, the Barnacle releases a cloud of green "particles".<ref name=":0">https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/749fzs/discussion_green_particle_cloud_from_thargoids_at/</ref> The Interceptor deploys a shield with a similar appearance when it receives enough damage to The Thargoid ship may need to disable its shields before it can refuel/fire the green beam at the barnacles.<ref name=":0" /> | |||

[[Ram Tah]] decrypted ancient [[Guardian]] logs | [[Ram Tah]] decrypted ancient [[Guardian]] logs that indicated Thargoid Barnacles are designed to extract resources from a planet and transform them into [[Meta-Alloys]] for use in the production of Thargoid ships and technologies. The Guardians surmised that for the Thargoids, seeding a planet with barnacles was an important process in preparing an area for occupation.<ref name="GC1"/> | ||
