on August 25 3308, independent rescue teams confirmed that Salvation was killed during the HIP 22460 incident, having been present on The Bright Sentinel when the Proteus Wave activated, and the subsequent destruction of the Megaship.

Throughout September and October 3308, independent explorers began tracking ~~several~~ mysterious anomalies ~~located near the Barnard's Loop nebula,~~ which were travelling at speeds faster than light. They were named 'Rogue Signal Sources', and ~~after analysis, it was~~ determined ~~that they did not match any known stellar bodies. The Federation cracked down~~ on Thargoid-worshipping cults, and attacked the 'Far God' cult, which was leaking classified information about the HIP 22460 system, as well as spreading misinformation. They are ultimately defeated, and their megaship, The Dedicant, seized for Federal Investigations. On 19 October, the ~~Far God cult was banned from Federal Space~~.

Throughout September and October 3308, independent explorers began tracking eight mysterious anomalies which were travelling at speeds faster than light. They were named 'Rogue Signal Sources', and determined to be converging on the Core Systems by 4 November 3308.

~~By 4 November 3308, it was confirmed that the Rogue Signal Sources were converging~~ on ~~the Core Systems. The oppression of the Far God, as well as social media,~~ has fueled xeno-peace movements with the Thargoids, believing that coexistence with the species is possible, and conflict can be averted with diplomacy. On 17 November 3308, a Xeno-Peace mission is launched, where the Kingfisher megaship is to travel to Hyades Sector YO-Q b5-1, and attempt to make contact with Taranis, the Rogue Signal Source that would be the first to arrive at the Core Systems, which is also expected to pass through Hyades Sector YO-Q b5-1. The mission was ultimately a failure, and the Kingfisher was destroyed by Thargoid ships.

On 29 November 3308, Taranis arrived at the Hyades Sector FB-N b7-6 system, ~~settling into orbit around~~ a ~~planet, and triggering a violent wave~~ of ~~Thargoid Attacks, invading multiple~~ surrounding systems, destroying starports, settlements, and outposts, killing hundreds of thousands of people. Many systems are completely conquered, with stations abandoned. Taranis itself is revealed to be a large~~, mysterious~~ nebulae-like cloud, ~~which is hazardous to~~ all ~~ships entering~~ it. The core remains a mystery, and any approaching ships are blasted back with a very strong ~~shockwave~~. The Orthrus Interceptor returns, having rarely been seen in the past. It is speculated that they are some sort of scouting vessel, gathering data for the Thargoids without participating in any combat. When engaged, the Orthrus ~~doesn't engage, but instead~~ releases a shutdown field before jumping away, leaving behind a caustic trail as it moves.

On 29 November 3308, Taranis arrived at the Hyades Sector FB-N b7-6 system, deploying a huge number of Thargoids to invade surrounding systems in a huge escalation of the war, destroying starports, settlements, and outposts, and killing hundreds of thousands of people. Many systems are completely conquered, with stations abandoned. Taranis itself is revealed to be a large corrosive nebulae-like cloud, containing Caustic Generators and patrolling Interceptors, as well as disabling all guardian-based weaponry within it's 100km wide radius. The core remains a mystery, and any approaching ships are blasted back with a very strong Thargoid Pulse released from the center. The Orthrus Interceptor returns, having rarely been seen in the past. It is speculated that they are some sort of scouting vessel, gathering data for the Thargoids without participating in any combat. When engaged, the Orthrus releases a shutdown field before jumping away, leaving behind a caustic trail as it moves.

~~Over the next few days~~, the Maelstroms; Indra, Leigong, Cocijo, and ~~Oya~~ arrive at the core systems, each ~~triggering violent~~ Thargoid ~~attacks~~ into ~~surrounding~~ systems.

By 16 December 3308, the remaining Maelstroms; Indra, Leigong, Cocijo, Oya, Thor, Rajin, and Hadad, arrive at the core systems, each deploying Thargoid fleets to invade and conquer surrounding systems. All Thargoid vessels (including Interceptors) are now completely hostile to human ships, interdicting and destroying any ships passing through conquered systems.

The Federation, Empire, Alliance, and Independence forces engage in combat with the Thargoids, in some cases liberating systems from their control. This is partly thanks to the development of newer Anti-Xeno weaponry by Azimuth Biotech. Nevertheless, The Thargoids continue pushing into the Core Systems. By this point, millions have already been killed, and many more have been displaced.

In December 3308, Professor Alba Tesreau calls for Aegis to be reformed in order to fight the Thargoids, as more research is needed into research and defense projects against the Thargoids so that humanity can successfully repel them.

By 20 January 3309, billions of people had already died in the war, with tens of systems having been completely obliterated. Professor Ishmael Palin and Ram Tah have collected strange artifacts from the Proteus Wave and Thargoid surface sites, working hard with other scientists to develop more countermeasures against the aliens.

on 13 February 3309, Aegis is reformed by the Alliance, Federation, and the Empire in order to ensure more cooperation, and increase research and development of Anti-Xeno weaponry. They begin researching into countermeasures against the Maelstrom caustic cloud. By 20 February they begin testing a prototype version of a caustic sink launcher, designed to protect against the caustic environment witthin the Maelstrom.

By the end of February, a total of 634 systems have been overrun by the Thargoids, while only 61 systems have been liberated by humanity from Thargoid control. Fierce fighting also broke out in the enclaves in the California and Witch Head Nebulas, speculated that the Thargoids are trying to secure control of the barnacle sites they created millennia ago.

By April 3309, The Thargoid fleets occupy well over a thousand systems, with no end in sight to the conflict.

On 9 May 3309, the Thargoid Pulse Neutraliser is released to independent ships, being able to successfully negate the Thargoid Pulse released from the center of the Maelstrom. Combined with the caustic sink launcher, it is now possible to successfully penetrate into the core of the Maelstrom. On 10 May, Aegis sends armed ships equipped with Thargoid pulse neutralisers into each Maelstrom, on a mission to gather as much tactical and environmental data as possible about the Thargoids.

The centers of each Maelstrom is revealed to contain a [[Thargoid Titan]], gigantic motherships which act as command centers for the Thargoids. These contain lots of Interceptors and Scouts, which are deployed to invade human star systems. The surroundings of the Thargoid Titans are permanently surrounded by a caustic cloud, protecting the center from intruders. The caustic cloud is kept replenished by the Caustic Generators, while Interceptors patrol around the area and attack any human on sight.

[[Thargoid Hunter|Thargoid Hunters]] are also revealed, Thargoid vessels created in response to humanities 'cold-orbiting' technique, as they are able to maintain the ability to lead shots even when a human ship is at very low temperature, as they are also too fast to outmaneuver.
