Xeno Profile
Signal Summary
Human-xeno history is layered: ancient Guardian conflict, lost ruins, modern rediscovery, barnacles, incursions, superpower reactions, and full-scale war. The lore explains why the map contains so many xeno-specific regions and hazards.

Key Concepts
Ancient layer - Guardian history establishes that the Thargoid conflict predates humanity.
Discovery layer - Modern explorers uncovered artefacts, barnacles, probes, and ruins before open war escalated.
War layer - Current Thargoid activity reshapes systems, stations, rescue routes, and AX priorities.
Field Notes
Galnet articles are often the best way to follow xeno developments in-universe.
Lore and navigation overlap whenever permit locks, war states, or xeno sites affect route planning.
