On June 2, 3303, CMDR Mobiusetti documented the first known interaction between an Unknown Ship and an [[Alien Structure]] on Pleiades Sector OI-T C3-7 A 6 at coordinates -42.77, -21.7. This confirmed suspicions that they were related.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8S-4Oq9Xvc</ref> | On June 2, 3303, CMDR Mobiusetti documented the first known interaction between an Unknown Ship and an [[Alien Structure]] on Pleiades Sector OI-T C3-7 A 6 at coordinates -42.77, -21.7.

On June 12, 3303, [[Professor Palin]] issued a request for scan and wake signature data from Unknown Ships to be delivered to Orcus Crag in Pleiades Sector OI-T c3-7. Palin compared the collected data to older Thargoid samples and confirmed that Unknown Ships were Thargoid in origin. Shortly afterward, [[Federation]] military forces seized Palin's research for transport to a Federal research facility, but the fleet never arrived at its destination.<ref name="Return">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5943ed6837e29c184d38b29b Galactic News: The Thargoids have Returned]</ref> | On June 12, 3303, [[Professor Palin]] issued a request for scan and wake signature data from Unknown Ships to be delivered to Orcus Crag in Pleiades Sector OI-T c3-7.

With Unknown Ships conclusively linked to the Thargoids and in light of this major attack, a renewed conflict between humans and Thargoids appears imminent. | With Unknown Ships conclusively linked to the Thargoids and in light of this major attack, a renewed conflict between humans and Thargoids appears imminent. | ||
Following the incident, CMDRs identified an unknown signal in [[Maia]] and traced it to planet B 1 C in HIP 19026. There, CMDR Lightningwing discovered the first known [[Thargoid Surface Site]].<ref name="Mystery">[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/6jmzs7/a_mystery_is_afoot/ /r/EliteDangerous: A mystery is afoot]</ref><ref name="Found">[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/6jnvjf/spoilers_mysterious_structures_found_by_cannon/ /r/EliteDangerous: (SPOILERS) Mysterious Structures Found By Cannon group]</ref> | |||

[[Alien Structure]]s, so-called "barnacles", are known to be related to the Thargoids and their ships. As the structures produce [[Meta-Alloys]], it is possible that Meta-Alloys are an important resource used by Unknown Ships. | [[Alien Structure]]s, so-called "barnacles", are known to be related to the Thargoids and their ships.

[[Thargoid Surface Site]]s demonstrate the Thargoids construct and utilize vast surface installations. Passive drone-like devices called [[Scavenger]]s are present at these locations. | |||
[[Unknown Artefact]]s and [[Unknown Probe]]s are also believed to be related to the Thargoids, but no link has been conclusively established as yet.<ref name="Return"/> | [[Unknown Artefact]]s and [[Unknown Probe]]s are also believed to be related to the Thargoids, but no link has been conclusively established as yet.<ref name="Return"/> | ||
