'''XenoThreat''' is a [[StarCitizen:Human]] terrorist faction that voices hard-line anti-alien, anti-corporate and revolutionary views. They have been particularly active in response to the passing of the [[StarCitizen:Human-Xi'an Trade Initiative]] (HuXa) by the [[StarCitizen:United Empire of Earth]] (UEE) and [[StarCitizen:Xi'an Empire]], though the group predates its passage. They are the current controlling power on [[StarCitizen:Ruin Station]] in [[StarCitizen:Pyro system|Pyro]] and engage in [[StarCitizen:piracy]].<ref name="ggpyro">{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/13852-Pyro|text=Galactic Guide: Pyro}}</ref> They are sometimes referred to by players as XT.

In 2944, "recent" [[StarCitizen:Advocacy]] reports named XenoThreat as the "current pack in control " of [[StarCitizen:Ruin Station]] in the [[StarCitizen:Pyro system]], implying that they had taken control shortly before that year.<ref name="ggpyro" />

During 2950-05, The [[StarCitizen:ASOP]] terminals at [[StarCitizen:Port Olisar]], [[StarCitizen:Stanton system|Stanton]] were found to be have been hacked, intermittently broadcasting a garbled XenoThreat propaganda speech, in which only the words "People of Stanton" were completely legible.

In early 2951, XenoThreat forces had attacked a corporate convoy in Stanton headed for the [[StarCitizen:Terra system]], destroying all cargo and publicly executing the crew as "collaborators of corporate greed". In response, the [[StarCitizen:United Empire of Earth Navy]] (UEEN) dispatched an armed contingent to deal with the threat.

Being politically motivated rather than economically motivated like many other outlaw groups, they tend to take more risks. This in turn makes outlaw groups such as the [[StarCitizen:Headhunters]] unhappy as they do not want the increased security attention in the [[StarCitizen:Pyro system]] where they are both present.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlVqQ8nhdQ4 Star Citizen Live: Narrative History], Star Citizen, YouTube, 2 August 2024</ref>

The Xi'an and the Banu have sent letters in their own alien languages to humanity regarding Xenothreat.

===Stanton Incursion===
On 2951-02-04, the same message was re-transmitted (this time in full with video to multiple landing zones) announcing the outlaws' revolutionary campaign beginning in the Stanton system, ostensibly to send a message to the UEE that "we are the ones in charge" and "you will be witnesses". UEEN intelligence reported an indeterminate force on an intercept course for Stanton, due to arrive in less than 48 hours. [[StarCitizen:Advocacy]] SAIC [[StarCitizen:Rowena Dulli]] activated the [[StarCitizen:Civilian Defense Force]] (CDF) to provide support for Naval forces against the imminent incursion.

On 2951-02-05, UEEN's [[StarCitizen:Javelin]] flagship was being restocked at [[StarCitizen:INS Jericho]] when their supply convoys came under attack from XenoThreat. SAIC Dulli tasked the CDF with retrieving the lost supplies and providing security for the effort. This came with the complication that all of the supplies were in some way volatile. XenoThreat forces made use of an [[StarCitizen:Idris (series)|Idris]] rail-gun to take cheap shots at the immobilized Javelin.

On 2951-02-11, XenoThreat deployed multiple [[StarCitizen:Capital ships|capital-class vessels]] to Stanton along with a complement of fighter escorts, in an effort to destabilize the system. The CDF urged anyone with a combat vessel and appropriate training to take up the fight.

On 2951-02-14, the UEE Navy and CDF successfully pushed XenoThreat out of Stanton. The group made a retreat back to their home system of Pyro following a decisive defeat.<ref name="assaultstanton">{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/transmission/17925-Assault-On-Stanton|text =Assault on Stanton}}</ref>

{{quote|Attention people of Stanton.
A great injustice has been done to you. For decades, the spineless bureaucrats of your government have been selling you and your fellow citizens piece by piece to the alien scum outside our borders and to their corporate masters within. Their greed only matched by the absolute disregard for the values that made Humanity great in the first place. My brothers and sisters have watched them feed on the dying carcass of the Empire for long enough. With the passage of the Human/Xi'an Trade Initiative, it's clear that the government is happy to sell the final parts of Humanity into servitude.

The time has come to send a message. That we will not consume their lies anymore. That we are the ones in charge. Stanton will be the first step in a revolution to take back the soul of the Empire. You will be witnesses.

We are XenoThreat.
Out.|<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKzttYo1TJs YouTube: Assault on Stanton – XenoThreat Message]</ref>}}
