{{Quote|Originally known as 'Unknown Artifacts', these strange objects are of Thargoid origin. They have the ability to repair themselves by extracting non-organic material from their immediate environment, and this self-repair mechanism can severely damage starships and other machinery. They can also scan nearby vessels and celestial bodies, and transmit information about the scanned object in an encrypted form. Since they have not been given a designation by intergalactic trade authorities, it is impossible to buy or sell them legally.|In-Game Description}}
'''Thargoid Sensors''', originally known as '''Unknown Artefacts''' or '''UAs''', are devices of unknown purpose created by the [[Thargoids]] and found at numerous sites across the [[Pleiades Nebula]]. The first of these objects was discovered by independent pilots on May 4, 3301, although it is believed that the [[Federation]] was already researching them by then. When [[Starport]]s began going offline due to technical problems caused by Unknown Artefacts sold on local black markets, it even became a popular practice among outlaw pilots to sell the objects with the express aim of shutting certain Starports down. On June 26, 3303, it was discovered that the objects could be used to open doors in [[Thargoid Surface Site]]s, directly linking them to the [[Thargoids]] for the first time. On [[Elite Dangerous: Horizons#The Return - v2.4|September 26]], Unknown Artefacts were formally reclassified as Thargoid Sensors.

== Description ==
[[File:Professor-Palin-and-Unknown-Artefact.png|thumb|250px|Professor Ishmael Palin and an Unknown Artefact]]
Thargoid Sensors are approximately two meters long, with a "head" resting atop a segmented stalk supporting three columns of canister-like objects. They emit constant noises that can be heard in close proximity. If shot with weapons or rammed, the Sensor will break up into a number of [[Materials]] called Sensor Fragments. A Thargoid Sensor will inflict constant corrosive damage to random ship modules, similar to [[Toxic Waste]], unless transported in a [[Corrosion Resistant Cargo Rack]]. If a Sensor is ejected from a cargo hold, it will degrade over time and disintegrate in about six minutes; the degradation can be halted and reversed by returning it to a cargo hold. Note that if a [[Thargoid Interceptor]] detects a ship is carrying a Thargoid Sensor, it will immediately become hostile.

It appears that the Thargoid Sensor performs some kind of scan of the closest celestial object or station and then emits a highly distorted [[Wikipedia:Morse code|Morse code]] which represents that body.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=175726&p=2701750&viewfull=1#post2701750 UA Mystery Thread 3: The Canonn], Arcanonn, Elite: Dangerous Forums, 2015-08-16, 19:58</ref><ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=175726&p=2702300&viewfull=1#post2702300 UA Mystery Thread 3: The Canonn], bitstorm, Elite: Dangerous Forums, 2015-08-16 20:34 GMT</ref> A Sensor will also scan all ships within 1 kilometre, and point and align itself with Merope, a star system in the [[Pleiades Nebula]]. Recordings and decoding of Sensor data also show that it produces a basic line drawing of the ship it scans.

[[File:Ua-convoyB.jpg|thumb|220x220px|This is the second version of the UA carrying convey. This one will hang around and conveniently drop the UA off for you to pick up]]
Thargoid Sensors were originally rare,<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=141038&page=71&p=2179457#post2179457 Soontill Relics, the Regor Permit Sector and DB's cryptic hints....], Michael Brookes, Elite: Dangerous Forums, 2015-05-02 10:28 GMT</ref> but have become common in systems within a 150 ly radius of [[Merope]]. A Threat Level 4 [[Anomaly]] [[Unidentified Signal Source|Signal Source]] or [[Non-Human Signal Source]] will usually contain a single Thargoid Sensor, though if a [[Thargoid Interceptor]] is present it will become hostile if the Sensor is retrieved.

Sensors can also be obtained from Threat Level 4 Military Convoys, where they are being transported by a [[Type-9 Heavy]] and can be stolen using [[Limpet Controller/Hatch Breaker|Hatch Breakers]]. There are two convoy configurations: the first includes the Type-9, a [[Vulture]], two [[Anaconda]]s, and assorted other ships, and the second includes the Type-9 with an escort of four Anacondas. The Type-9 will usually charge its [[Frame Shift Drive]] and jump to another system to escape, so it is recommended to attack in a [[Wing]], with one member focusing on the Type-9 while the others distract the escorts.

At an [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Alien_Crash_Site Alien Crash Site] HIP 17403 there have been found more than one thargoid sensors.

==UA Bombing==
"UA Bombing" is the colloquial term for the practice of selling Thargoid Sensors en masse at a specific station with a black market, with the goal of shutting that station down using the Sensors' technology-disrupting properties. Stations that are shutdown can still be docked with, but have most services disabled, similar to a Lockdown state. While the effects of UA Bombing are not permanent and will reverse over time even without intervention, the suspension of vital station services for several weeks can be inconvenient.

UA Bombing requires a significant quantity of Thargoid Sensors, up to 100, though the number can vary. The Sensors must all be sold at the same station within the same week for the UA Bombing to be successful. Once enough Sensors are sold, the station will experience "technical issues" and be "on the brink of closure". At this time, selling thousands of units of [[Meta-Alloys]] at that station before the next weekly server downtime period can counteract the Sensors and prevent the shutdown entirely. If no action is taken, then after the weekly server downtime the station will be forced to shutdown. If this occurs, the station will automatically begin repairing itself, but the process will take several weeks on its own. Meta-Alloys can be sold there to increase the pace of repairs and shorten the shutdown period.

{{Quote|Only recently discovered, these mysterious artifacts currently have no designation. Despite much conjecture as to the nature of these objects, it appears that the scientific community is unwilling or unable to openly identify the artifacts' origins. Such mystery only serves to make these objects more widely sought after by wealthy individuals and organisations alike, no matter that their unidentified status automatically prohibits them from being sold on any legal market.|Original In-Game Description for Unknown Artefacts/Thargoid Sensors}}
