Xeno-Technology

The Xeno-Technology Department focus on the technological advancements of alien species through their weaponry, communication systems, computing technology, and military advancement – we study the very technology their species is built on in order to create awareness. We understand how their technology is used, so if needed how we can counteract that technology.

Shortly after the disaster and massacre of HIP 22460, an unknown anomaly appeared on long-range sensor modules, especially Full Spectrum Scanners mounted on all personal ships.

Nonhuman Signatures (not to be confused for Non-Human Signal Sources (NHSS)) are Points of Interest (POIs) that can spawn on any landable planet (with or without an atmosphere) in a system, as long as that system contains an Ammonia-based-Life Gas Giant (ALGG). These POIs can be detected from orbit, after fully scanning the planet with…

The UIA’s now formally known as the Thargoid Maelstroms have begun taking up residence in the bubble around ammonia worlds. As everything is ramping up in the thargoid war, it seems there is a lot to look at in and around the maelstroms themselves. These curious biological plant like creatures/ships known as Caustic generators float…
