The Thargoids

THARGOID WARSHIP

The Thargoid warship was not seen much during the wars the Thargoids prefering to use Thargons as the main attack force. Unlike the Thargon the warship was independently deployed from home bases. The Warship would emerge out of witch-space near Human military bases quickly bringing its ten missiles to bear on ground targets, then just as quickly disappear back. Any retaliation was quickly subdued with any of its four Thargoid Lasers capable of firing in a total sphere of protection.

THARGON

These are what the main Human forces fought against in hugh numbers in the Thargoid wars. They are released from the mothership and can be remotely controlled or piloted by a single occupant. Compared to human fighters of the day they were extremely fast and powerful and even today they would stand up against current military fighters. The only reprieve that human soldiers got against these fighters were they were realitively unprotected with minimal shielding, but you had to get past the Thargoid Laser before you could get at them. Quite a few were captured in the wars when the mothership was destoryed leaving them floating. Subsequent study of the captured Thargons lead to the developement of the first ECM Systems.

THARGOID TRANSPORTER (Mothership)

Capable of holding up to 200 Thargons the Mothership is one of the largest ship of its kind in existence only beaten by the Long Range Cruiser. Due to the Thargoid propulsion technology this ship is capable of an incredible 20.1 G propulsion both fore and aft. The Mothership could withstand legendary punishment with only sustained direct fire or a direct hits by multiple missiles capable of destroying it. There have been reports of the motherships withstanding a close proximity nuclear blast and being flung out into space only to later rejoin the battle. The Mothership did have one weakness though, when opened to let out thargons the insides would be exposed and well directed hits could disable its navigation and weapon systems.

UNKNOWN THARGOID 1

The Thargoids as any race are constantly evolving and improving their ship technology. This is an example of one of the earlier thargoid spacecraft dated before contact with humans. It has the traditional octagonal shape but is rather flattened. It is thought that these are the ships used to explore the galaxy by the Thargoid race.
