The Asterope system was chosen for it’s high concentration of such signals and relatively low concentration of other signals. The probe was the most time consuming to collect, as it required searching threat five non-human signal sources in the Pleiades sector. To acquire the data, a Thargoid probe and sensor were required. Methodology:Ī Thargoid Link has been acquired by our team, along with fresh data from the active Thargoid surface site in the Mel 22 sector NX-U d2-31 system. By exploiting this behaviour, it is speculated by our team that undiscovered Thargoid activity may be found on the opposite side of the galaxy per Professor Shaw’s hypothesis. Thargoid surface sites have been discovered previously by way of the Thargoid Link, an alien artefact that interacts with data obtained from other surface sites and orients itself towards an undiscovered site. Of these hypotheses one has been selected as the most practically tested, that the Thargoid homeworld is located on the opposite side of the galaxy. On the seventh of April 3304, Professor Cora Shaw of the Palin Institute published a speculative paper recounting the current theories on Thargoid origins. The Aparoids are also said to have been inspired by a raid of some bees, wasps and/or flies during development.Testing Professor Shaw’s Hypothesis on the Thargoid homeworldĬMDR’s Proasek, WyldxPhoenix, DudleyBose IV Abstract: On Fichina, the Aparoids take control of an atmospheric control center and reprogram the defense drones there to fight Fox and his allies. Pigma Dengar is himself assimilated into a huge, cube-like space station which resembles a Borg Cube. General Pepper and his fighter is similarly turned against the player. They are able to infest biological and non-biological entities (such as computers), as in the missions that take place on Corneria, where a number of Cornerian military personnel actively fight against the player, apparently having been telepathically or otherwise controlled by the Aparoids.
Higher orders of the Aparoid species exhibit behavior that is closely reminiscent of the Borg from Star Trek. The Aparoid species are directed telepathically by the Queen in much of the same way the Bugs are directed by the Brain Bug in the first Starship Troopers movie. Like them, Aparoid soldiers are present on the battlefield in great numbers and their tactics comprise of basically just swarming the player. The 'soldier class' of the Aparoid species, who make up the backbone of the Aparoid invasion, are in themselves quite similar to the basic Starship Troopers soldier bugs. The most obvious of which seem to be the Bugs from Starship Troopers. The Aparoids appear to have been inspired by insectoid and artificial extraterrestrial species from a number of science fiction franchises. They were ultimately destroyed by Star Fox by using an apoptosis program coded by Beltino Toad. The aparoids also tried to infect General Pepper after infecting his flagship. The infection caused Pigma to meld with a machine in the Asteroid Belt, where he is fought as the end boss.
Pigma was the first character to become infected by aparoids after he stole a Core Memory from Fox McCloud. The larger aparoids contain a Core Memory, which contains instructions and information for contacting the Aparoid Homeworld. Due to them being part machine, aparoids can have programs executed within them. Despite not possessing any conventional technology, the Aparoids are capable of traversing interstellar space by some manner of teleportation. Aparoids are responsible for the assimilation of Pigma Dengar and large attacks on several planets, including Corneria. Aparoids have the ability to infect both organisms and machines, by assimilating their genetic structure into the character, a process which is known as Aparoideation.
