{{Quote|An out-of-production spacecraft produced by [[Faulcon DeLacy]] and one of its earliest designs. The Krait once led the field in small scale fighter craft - faster, more agile, and more heavily armed than most of its rivals, the design sold in the millions. Now the Krait is largely obsolete. It remains a heavily armed fighter for its size, but its sluggish speed and sub-standard manoeuvrability make it vulnerable to escort fighters and modern police ships. Kraits are still found in the poorer and more anarchic parts of the galaxy - most are a hodgepodge of old and new technology cobbled together. In combat, the Krait is often paired off against larger ships, such as the Cobra and Asp, who match the tiny ship in manoeuvrability, but who remain vulnerable to the Krait's impressive weaponry.|Description from ''[[Elite Dangerous Role Playing Game|Elite Dangerous RPG]]''<ref name="EDRPG">[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/373091-Pssst-You-wanna-see-a-Krait Frontier Forums: Pssst. You wanna see a Krait?]</ref>}}

The '''Krait''', also known as the '''Krait Lightspeeder''',<ref name="EDRPG"/> is a fighter ship known for its distinctive shape. By the time of [[Elite Dangerous]], the Krait has not been in production for many years and is considered an antiquated design. [[Bill Turner]] kept a Krait among the collection of ships stored at his base on [[Alioth]] 4 A.<ref>[[Elite Dangerous: Premonition]]</ref> A new model of Krait is planned for release in a future update of [[Elite Dangerous: Beyond]].

==Trivia==
*The Krait first appeared in [[Elite]].

{{Quote|Only recently discovered, these mysterious artefacts are believed to be probes, but of unknown origin. Their physical appearance makes them likely to be related to the [[Unknown Artefact|unknown artefacts]] discovered in 3301. 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.|In-game Description}}

'''Unknown Probes''' are objects of unknown origin and purpose. They are believed to be related to the [[Unknown Artefact]]s, as they are not only similar in design, but possess the same corrosive qualities as the Artefacts. They appear to point to Merope 5 C, the planet where [[Alien Structure|"Barnacles"]] were first found. [[Discovery Scanner|Scanning]] an Unknown Probe will cause it to emit an EMP wave and burst of noise.

On June 26, 3303, it was discovered that Unknown Probes can be used to open doors in [[Thargoid Surface Site]]s, linking the objects to the [[Thargoids]].

On September 26, 3303 it was confirmed the Unknown Probes are of Thargoid origin as they are now referred to as Thargoid Sensors.

==Locations==
You must go to a system and near an Ammonia world. That's where they spawn. The signal source you need to drop into is a degraded emissions threat 2. It must be a threat 2. Sometimes they don't spawn. If these don't spawn after 20 minutes then you can hyperspace jump to leave the system and head back again.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCoSBvTBKug</ref>

They have been found in Convoy Dispersal Patterns (USS) with a Threat Level 4 in the following systems:

* Ross 47
* Wolf 294
* G 99-49

Convoys carrying the Unknown Probe will usually have a Python called "Military Transport" and various strange comms chatter, as well as Anacondas of varying combat ranks. The convoy will most often also carry Meta Alloys and Reactive Armour.

They have also been found orbiting planets with ammonia atmospheres in the Pleiades Sector, at locations marked as Anomalous Signals with Threat Level 2. Systems with such planets include:

* Pleiades Sector KC-U b3-1 (Planet #8) (Found 9/20/2017)

==Timeline==
[[File:The Unknown Probe shut down my ships! And Talked...|thumb|330x330px]]
On July 18, 3302 CMDR Rizal made use of the Advanced Discovery Scanner in the presence of an Unknown Probe after targeting it. The Unknown Probe responded by turning on its lights, charging and releasing an EMP shockwave, which in turn briefly knocked out CMDR Rizal's HUD (supposedly to grab his attention). This was accompanied by an audio burst; the Unknown Probe finally "spoke".

The forums were quick to respond, decoding the audio from the video and suggesting various experiments.A map has been drawn from the audio, showing a globe and possible coordinates. With the Unknown Probe pointing at Merope 5 C, many CMDRs are now on the hunt to find the next clue.

On August 17, 3302, the first free-floating Unknown Probe was discovered orbiting Pleiades Sector KC-U b3-1 8, a planet with an ammonia atmosphere, at an "Anomalous Signal" point of interest. This was quickly followed by additional Unknown Probe finds above other ammonia worlds in nearby systems. Finding the Probes above ammonia worlds is significant because it potentially ties the Probes to the [[Thargoids]], who are believed to have originated on an ammonia world.

On August 20, 3302, the Unknown Probe transmission was [https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/57b6f11a9657baec6b4f8624 fully decoded] and revealed to contain planetary data such as radius, surface temperature, gravity and atmospheric composition. This transmission was directed at an unknown receiver on Merope 5C. In addition, the transmission included distance data that, when triangulated, was found to have been measured from the star system Col 70 Sector FY-N C21-3, which is within a group of permit-locked systems that players cannot currently access. It is believed Col 70 Sector FY-N C21-3 may be the origin point of all Unknown Probes, and contain the homeworld of their creators.
