As of September 3304, the Second Thargoid War continued to rage in the Core Systems with no end in sight. While human pilots were able to hold their own against the Thargoids thanks to [[Guardian]]-human hybrid weapons and technologies developed by the [[Engineers|Engineer]] [[Ram Tah]], Thargoids ships still managed to overwhelm defence forces and strike stations. It was believed that the Thargoids viewed humanity's colonization of the Pleiades as an encroachment on their territory, and their hyper-aggressive nature compelled them to respond with unceasing hostility, but this, as well as the Thargoids' ultimate goal, remained unconfirmed. | As of September 3304, the Second Thargoid War continued to rage in the Core Systems with no end in sight.

After September 26, 3303, CMDRs reported sightings of larger fields of so-called "Barnacle forests" in a shape reminiscent of Thargoid Surface Sites. Some of these clusters were patrolled by Scavengers.<ref>https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/355713-Alien-archeology-and-other-mysteries-Thread-10-The-Canonn?p=5952184&viewfull=1#post5952184</ref> | After September 26, 3303, CMDRs reported sightings of larger fields of so-called "Barnacle forests" in a shape reminiscent of Thargoid Surface Sites.

The Thargoids claim territory by seeding planets and moons with Thargoid Barnacles to produce Meta-Alloys to support their activities in the area. They have an affinity for systems with [[Ammonia World]]s in or near [[nebulae]]. To date, the [[Pleiades Nebula]], [[Witch Head Nebula]], [[Coalsack Nebula]], and two large [[Permits|permit]]-locked regions in the Col 70 Sector of the [[Spirograph Nebula]] and the Cone Sector of the [[Sanguineous Rim]] have been identified as Thargoid territories, and have high concentrations of [[Non-Human Signal Source]]s. | |||
Thargoid activity is also regularly observed in or believed to occur in certain individual systems: | |||
