Elite Dangerous Thargoid

thingiverse

The Thargoids are an intelligent, highly advanced insectoid species that have existed for millions of years. They are the only known living sapient species in the Milky Way galaxy other than humanity. Thargoids are highly territorial and seemingly rebuff all diplomatic overtures with unmitigated hostility, but are also known to be extremely slow to adapt. Approximately 1 to 2 million years ago, the Thargoids instigated a war with another intelligent species called the Guardians over territory. Although the Guardians eventually prevailed, the Thargoids only opted to retreat because they were unprepared for a protracted campaign against a rival civilization. Thargoids and humanity have been embroiled in two wars. The first occurred between 3125 and 3151, and is believed to have ended in a human victory with the Intergalactic Naval Reserve Arm's successful deployment of the mycoid bio-weapon. The second, ongoing conflict began in 3303 and has been rapidly escalating with no resolution in sight, affecting dozens of systems across the Pleiades Nebula and the Core Systems.
