There's speculation of a [[Thargoid Mothership]] which, according to recovered logs, attacked the [[INRA]] site Carmichael Point in HIP 16824.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mB36F-rLlkI Elite: Dangerous: INRA Base Attacked By Thargoids]</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 Thargoid Interceptors. After September 26, 3303, CMDRs reported sightings of larger fields of Alien Structures in a shape reminiscent of Thargoid Surface Sites, and are also patrolled by [[Scavenger]]s.
The Thargoids seed planets with [[Alien Structure]]s, so-called "barnacles". The barnacles extract resources from a [[Planets|planet]] and transform them into [[meta-alloys]]. This is an essential ingredient in the creation of Thargoid ships and technologies. The seeding of an area with barnacles is an important process to prepare it for Thargoid occupation.<ref>[https://canonn.science/codex/guardians-codex/ Guardian Codex 1/28 : Thargoid Log – Barnacle Seeding]</ref>
 
After September 26, 3303, CMDRs reported sightings of larger fields of Alien Structures aka "barnacle forests" in a shape reminiscent of Thargoid Surface Sites, and also patrolled by [[Scavenger]]s.<ref>https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/355713-Alien-archeology-and-other-mysteries-Thread-10-The-Canonn?p=5952184&viewfull=1#post5952184</ref>


[[Thargoid Surface Site]]s demonstrate the Thargoids construct and utilize vast surface installations. Passive drone-like devices called Scavengers were first encountered at these locations. [[Thargoid Egg]]s can be found around and inside these sites. It's unknown what produces and lays these eggs.
