A commander in the Pleiades Sector experienced a sudden and deadly Thargoid attack after being hyperdicted. Initially, the Thargoid remained inactive while the commander's ship systems were offline, but once systems were restored and the commander tried to escape, the alien vessel launched an immediate swarm assault that destroyed the ship within seconds. It remains unclear whether this aggressive response is a new standard behavior following recent conflicts or if it was triggered by the commander carrying a Guardian FSD booster. This encounter underscores the persistent dangers commanders face in Thargoid-controlled space and the need for caution when navigating these regions.
- Thargoid remained passive during system downtime, attacked immediately upon system restoration.
- Uncertainty if aggression is linked to Guardian FSD booster or post-war hostility.
