The Orthrus variant of a [[Thargoid Interceptor]] is speculated to be part of the Oresrian dynasty.<ref name=":8">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbld19ALPEQ Elite Dangerous Theory : Are the Alliance working with the Thargoids.] - Mattius - YouTube - 2 June 2021</ref> It was first spotted by pilots at a former small Palin Research Centre on "[[Maia]] A 3 a" on 25 August 3305.<ref name=":8" /> The Orthrus variant has distinct yellow thorax markings around the cockpit and the edges of the petals.

The Orthrus disappeared after the end of the [[Second Thargoid War]]. It will try to flee rather than attack you. This peaceful behavior is more similar to the Oresrians.<ref name=":8" />
