== History == | |||
In late 3308, the [[Second Thargoid War]] escalated significantly following the battle of [[HIP 22460]], where superpower forces (placed under the command of [[Azimuth Biotech]]) drew the full attention of the Thargoids through an attempted act of [[Anti-xeno superweapon|genocide]]. In addition to increased Thargoid aggression, this led to the deployment of several [[Thargoid Titan|Titans]] within human inhabited space, acting as beachheads for a full-on invasion. While the initial onslaught was devastating, human forces (through ever increasing organization and new technology provided by [[engineers]] and [[Aegis]]) eventually halted the Thargoid advance and slowly began pushing back. | |||
In response, the Thargoids appear to have begun changing tactics over time, first deploying the new [[Thargoid Hunter|Glaive]] class of vessel and later increasing rates of human abduction. By mid 3308, the first Barnacle Matrix sites where discovered on worlds with Ammonia based atmospheres. | |||
