Galnet Update: Galnet News | Elite Dangerous Community Site Aegis has continued to monitor the recently shifting Thargoid behavior and have confirmed a clear pattern. Expansion efforts have slowed in recent weeks, with experts theorizing that this change in the Thargoids was a precursor to a change in overall strategy. Aegis researchers have now gathered enough evidence to confirm a tactical shift. The Thargoids have adopted a more defensive stance, reinforcing their current position rather than expanding outward. They are also targeting and invading populated systems exclusively, sometimes without their normal scouting operations. Dr. Jeong-Hui Shing of the Holloway Bioscience institute offered the following view: “That lack of scouting is the most fascinating element of this change to me. A military man may claim it to be a desperate enemy lashing out at its opponent, but I see something deeper.” “Foregoing expansion to prioritize the defense of their remaining Titans is intelligent, not desperate. These attacks seem just as calculated: they are gathering data. Probing our defenses. Analyzing where their remaining resources may be best used...” As a tactical response, various organizations will be sending strike teams to designated counterstrike systems around the Titan with the least systems under Thargoid control. Where possible, these teams plan to reactivate a single port within each system to provide a forward operating base for anti-xeno operations. Pilots are being encouraged to take up arms and participate in the defense of these forward ports. Thargoid war update: It’s INDRA-Pendence Day! Let Torpedoes Ring!
