AnA '''AlienCrashed CrashThargoid SiteShip''' consists of an ancient [[Thargoid]] [[Thargoid Interceptor|Interceptor]] or [[Thargoid Scout|Scout]] shipwreck on a planet's surface.

==Description==
An"Crashed alienThargoid shipwreckShip" issites consist of wreckage from a [[Thargoid Interceptor]] scattered in a canyon, near a shallow depression caused by the impact on the [[Moons|moon]] 9 A of the [[star system]] AB-W B2-4. There are fourteen visible pieces of the alien ship, and five distinct types of pieces. Additional pieces may or may not be buried beneath the visible wreckage. Thirteen pieces are external wing-like structures of unknown purpose. The fourteenth and largest piece is ostensibly the central part of the ship, a semi-octagonal "core" with a centralized circular "aperture", also of unknown purpose. While the intact ship has eight of each piece, save for the core, the crash sites seem to be missing some parts. All of the pieces are considerably larger than a [[Scarab]] [[SRV]], and the intact ship is approximately between a [[Python]] and an [[Anaconda]] in sizediameter.
 
The circumstances that caused these Thargoid shipwrecks are unknown. The wreckage at all sites bears no obvious signs of weapon damage. Additionally, given the concentration of wreckage in a relatively small area at each site, it is possible that the ships were intact up until they impacted and shattered on their respective planets and moons.
 
Sites containing crashed [[Thargoid Scout]]s feature intact vessels. They are labeled simply "Crash Site" when targeted, and consist of a single, inert Thargoid Scout partially buried at the end of a shallow depression caused by the impact. Scanner analysis of the Scouts indicate they were contaminated with [[mycoid]], indicating they were likely casualties of the [[First Thargoid War]].
The circumstances of the ship's crash into the Pleiades Sector AB-W B2-4 9 A, as well as how long the ship has been there, are unknown. The shipwreck bears no obvious sign of weapon damage. Additionally, given the concentration of wreckage in a relatively small area, it is possible that the ship was intact up until its impact with the [[Moons|moon]]'s surface, at which time it shattered. It is speculated that the ship's pilot or pilots, if any, may still be aboard.
 
==History==
In 3302, three (NPC) CMDRs[[Commander]]s, Mahina DillionDillon, Otto Granger, and Logan Kohl, experienced an "incident" that led them to a discovery of great importance. On August 27, 3302, the three CMDRs hacked public Galnet[[GalNet]] news transmissions and inserted coded text that directed other CMDRs to them. On August 28, 3302, they appeared in the systems Apademak and Cail, and offered to reveal their discovery to the galaxy via a series of clues if they were each given large quantities of certain commodities, marking the beginning of "the Hunt".<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/501sfi/news_about_the_hunt/ Reddit: "News about 'the Hunt'"]</ref> On August 30, 3302, after Kohl's request for 6 million tons of narcotics was fulfilled and he offered his next clue, CMDRs Noctrach and Ihazevich located the correct planet that the clue hinted at and subsequently discovered the "Alien Crash Site" in a canyon there.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/50avm9/screw_dillon_we_got_it_theyre_coming/d72i96n Reddit comment by user HuttonOrbital (CMDR Noctrach)]</ref> Their discovery was noted in a [[GalNet]] article posted the following day.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/57c69de19657ba060a46a7f2 Galnet News - Galactic News: Mysterious Wreckage Discovered]</ref> The shipwreck was initially called an Unknown Ship, because theirits originorigins waswere a mystery.<ref name=":0" />
 
The wreckage of a smaller ship of vaguely similar design was discovered on September 28, 3303, on the planet HIP 17125 A 3 A in the HIP 17125 system. The circumstances of the discovery were somewhat mysterious, as the original discoverer of the wreckage was never identified.<ref name="Discovery">[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/733mmb/elite_dangerous_24_new_unknown_ship_crashed_hip/ r/EliteDangerous: Elite Dangerous 2.4 new Unknown Ship (crashed) Hip 17125 A 3 A -65.8193 | 48.8662]</ref> [[SRV]] scanner analysis of the wreckage identified it as a [[Thargoid Scout]] by comparing it to existing knowledge databases. High concentrations of [[mycoid]] particle, the bioweapon used by [[INRA]] against the Thargoids during the [[First Thargoid War]] in the mid-3100s, were also detected.
=== Analysis ===
On 14 October 3303, an analysis by Professor [[Alba Tesreau]] of [[Aegis]] confirmed suspicions that it is an ancient [[Thargoid Interceptor]]. Tesreau said''“Recent analysis of the [[Thargoid]] shipwreck in the Pleiades Sector AB-W B2-4 system indicates that it is a little over 100 years old, despite being extremely similar, if not identical, to the currently active Thargoid Interceptor. This suggests that Thargoid ship design does not change particularly rapidly, and also that the shipwreck in HIP 17125 could be equally old.”''<ref name=":0">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/59e0c4b16fc1d540d8703341 Galactic News: Speculation over Thargoid Ship]▼

Multiple sites that dated to the [[Guardian-Thargoid War]] millions of years ago were discovered in the Trapezium Sector YU-X c1-2 system.
==Crash Site Locations==▼
 
The first sightings of modern-day crash sites occurred on September 20, 3307, in the aftermath of the activation of a new [[anti-xeno superweapon]] created by [[Salvation]] in the Cornsar system. The weapon forced the Thargoid fleet attacking Cornsar to flee to hyperspace, after which patrolling pilots and Aegis observation teams confirmed reports of numerous crashed Thargoid Interceptors on several local worlds, the apparent casualties of the weapon.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61488c7610ba9d4a345d4f69 GalNet: Thargoids Vanish from Cornsar System]</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/614b1b42ee27c94b1b195046 GalNet: Salvation Takes Credit for Repelling Thargoids]</ref> More fresh crash sites were created on December 14, 3307, following the activation of three of the anti-xeno superweapons in [[Delphi]], [[Maia]], and [[Merope]].<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61b22de57f20dc7b365da05a GalNet: Thargoids Repulsed from Three Systems]</ref>
