On November 13, 3303, the first sightings of a new variant of Thargoid Interceptor, the Basilisk Variant, ~~were reported~~. Prior to this, only Cyclops Variant Thargoid Interceptors had been encountered. As Basilisk Variants and Cyclops Variants have yet to demonstrate any hostility towards each other, it is unknown if the presence of Basilisk Variants represents an escalation in the ongoing conflict between Thargoids and humans, or the arrival of a second Thargoid faction in the region.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/7cnxqj/threat_6_uss_in_electra_spoilers/ /r/EliteDangerous: Threat 6 USS in Electra]</ref>

On November 13, 3303, the first sightings of a new variant of Thargoid Interceptor were reported by independent pilots in the Electra system. Classified as the "Basilisk Variant" by the [[Pilots Federation]], these heavily scarred Interceptors possessed demonstrably more powerful offensive and defensive capabilities.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5a0c1121b9e40e708759f664 Galactic News: Previously Unseen Thargoid Ships in Electra]</ref> Prior to this, only Cyclops Variant Thargoid Interceptors had been encountered.

With casualties from Thargoid attacks continuing to mount, President Zachary Hudson and Emperor Arissa Lavigny-Duval issued statements to reassure the public, insisting that the Thargoid presence would likely remain limited to the Pleiades Nebula and that the combined forces of the Federation and Empire could overcome any threat. Despite this optimism, Admiral Aden Tanner stated it was premature to assert that the Thargoids would not advance beyond the Pleiades, but that Aegis was actively investigating the Thargoids' long-term plans.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5a0eba46528d3924954cf324 Galactic News: Galactic Authorities Call for Calm]</ref>
