{{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}}
{{Quote|These Thargoid objects are capable of emitting an electro-magnetic pulse that can temporarily incapacitate a starship.|In-Game Description}}
'''Thargoid Probes''', formerly known as '''Unknown Probes''', are devices of unknown purpose created by the [[Thargoids]]. They appear to point to Merope 5 C, the planet where [[Thargoid Barnacle]]s were first found. Activating a [[Discovery Scanner]] near a Thargoid Probe will cause it to emit an EMP wave and burst of noise.

Thargoid Probes spawn in [[Non-Human Signal Source]]s. They are guaranteed to appear in sources with a threat level of 0 or 2, and may appear randomly in sources rated 5-7. The latter set of sources are dangerous to investigate as one or more [[Thargoid Interceptor]]s may be present, and will attack if they detect Thargoid objects within a pilot's cargo hold. Occasionally, Thargoid Probes may also be retrieved from transport ships interdicted in systems with a persistent Thargoid presence or under the effects of an [[Incursion]], or from the cargo bays of damaged [[Science Vessel]]s and [[Bulk Cargo Ship]]s that have been attacked by Thargoids.<ref>[https://canonn.science/codex/unknown-probe/ Canonn Research Group: The Thargoid Probe]</ref><ref>[https://canonn.science/codex/xenotechnology/desperately-seeking-stronzini/ Canonn Research Group: Desperately Seeking Stronzini]</ref>
