The '''Thargoids''' are an insectoid alien [[species]] who are said to originate outside of known space, perhaps existing in a parallel universe or ~~spacial~~ dimension. They are the one of two known living sapient species in the Milky Way [[galaxy]] (the other being [[~~human~~]]s), although ruins and artefacts of [[Guardians|other species]] have been found and much of the galaxy remains unexplored.<ref>http://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?p=38820#post38820</ref> Thargoids are reputed to be highly aggressive and seemingly rebuff all diplomatic overtures with unmitigated hostility.

The name "Thargoid" was coined by humans shortly after the first reported encounters with the aliens. In a blurred holo clip of one such encounter, some argued that the term "THARG" was visible on the hull of an alien ship, but this was never conclusively proven. Nevertheless, "Tharg" came be associated with the aliens, and most commentators extended it to "Thargoid".<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/53se4s/first_thargoid_contact_22_beacon/</ref>

Thargoid technology is vastly different and in many ways far superior to established GalCop technology. The warships have no visible form of propulsion, neither from vented emissions nor engine exhausts, yet they are manoeuvrable and agile.
