{{for|the second type of Guardian ruins discovered in February 3304|Guardian Structure}}
The '''Ancient Ruins''' are the remains of a species-wide, interstellar, faster than light communications network. It was built by the alien [[species]] known as the [[Guardians]] millions of years ago.<ref>[https://canonn.science/codex/guardians-data-technology/ Canonn Research: Guardians Data – Technology]</ref>
 
The first Ancient Ruins site was discovered on October 27, 3302 by CMDR XDeath in the Synuefe XR-H d11-102 system.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/59l4hk/cmdr_xdeath_found_the_monolith/ reddit: Cmdr xdeath found the monolith!]</ref><ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.phpthreads/300054-Alienalien-archeology-and-other-mysteries-Threadthread-9-Thethe-canonn.300054/ Frontier Forums: Alien archeology and other mysteries: Thread 9 - The Canonn]</ref> Since January 3303, many additional sites have been located in other systems.

When equipped with [[Ram Tah]]'s decryption program (see History below) and holding the correct combination of artifacts(s) within the SRV cargo hold while scanning an obelisk, the data packages can be decrypted to reveal information about the [[Guardian]]s' biology, history, culture, language, and technology. There are 101 data packges available, however only a limited number are available at any given ruins site. Multiple ruins sites must be visited to obtain all of the data packages.
 
Each obelisk is programmed with only 1 unique data package. The correlation between the ancient artifacts and Guardian information is as followsartifact/relic in the correct combination for that specific obelisk.follows:
 
Example: the correct combination to decrypt data from a biology obelisk is one of:

Notes for Ram Tah's mission "Decoding The Ancient Ruins":
* Players do not need to unlock the [[Engineers|engineer]] [[Ram Tah]]. Any ship docking in the [[Meene]] system will automatically receive the mission upon arrival. They will receive an inbox message from Ram Tah and the mission automatically appears on the Transactions tab of the left side panel.
* The mission pays 1 million credits for each data item decrypted. Progress can be checked on the left side panel Transactions tab. If all data items are collected, there is an additional bonus of 10 million credits (total reward of 111 million credits).
* The player has 28 days to gather data and return them to Felice Dock in Meene.

===Decryption===
Beginning with the 2.2.03 update on January 10, 3303, [[Engineers|Engineer]] [[Ram Tah]] provided a free decryption program to all ships that docked at any station in the [[Meene]] system, which allowed them to decrypt the data found at the ruins.<ref>[https://www.radiosidewinder.com/galactic-news-ram-tah-breaks-his-silence/ GalNet: Galactic News: Ram Tah Breaks his Silence]</ref>. The program was only usable for 28 days after receipt, as the Guardians' technology had the ability to adapt to the decryption. Investigation of the ruins using the program in conjunction with specific combinations of salvage items revealed significant details about the history and culture of the Guardians. As only 36 of 100 possible data entries could be decrypted at the initial site, it was believed that the remaining entries were at other, undiscovered sites.
 
===Additional Sites===
On January 24, 3303, Ram Tah announced that analysis of additional data provided by the galactic community<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5885fc299657baa13fd4c3c0 GalNet: Galactic News: Data Appeal Concludes]</ref> had allowed him to detect additional Guardian ruin sites. Although unable to discern their exact locations, he narrowed down the possible locations to four systems: Synuefe ZL-J d10-119, Synuefe XO-P c22-17, IC 2391 Sector ZE-A d101, and IC 2391 Sector GW-V b2-4.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/58872def9657ba9230f89d99 GalNet: Galactic News: Ram Tah Discovers New Sites]</ref> All four sites were located by February 3, 3303.
 
===The Melville Expedition===
On February 10, 3303, personal logs surfaced from a member of an expedition to locate the Guardians' origin world led by a Professor Melville. Melville was an authority on xeno-biology who had disappeared several months earlier. Theorizing that the Guardians had once occupied a volume of space roughly equivalent to the human bubble before being forced to migrate, and that at least hundreds of ruins sites existed, Melville gathered a cadre of supporters to attempt to find these ruins. According to the logs, the expedition discovered clusters of three ruins sites in each of three systems: Synuefe LY-I b42-2, Synuefe NL-N c23-4, and Synuefe TP-F b44-0. As of February 8, in the logs' final entry, Professor Melville had seized control of the expedition ship and cut off all communication to the rest of the galaxy.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/589db33015ac1c292f68b825 GalNet: Galactic News: Intriguing Expedition Record Surfaces]</ref>
 
Following the news of the Melville Expedition's finds, the pace of new site discoveries rapidly increased as CMDRs began searching along the ship's path. Systems, and even planets, that held multiple sites were identified, lending credence to Professor Melville's theory that ruin density would increase closer to the center of Guardian civilization.

====Locating The Cete====
[[File:The Cete.png|thumb|right|250px|The Cete]]
On June 23, 3303, CMDR Synjorai located Professor Melville's ship, a [[Megaship]] called [[The Cete]], orbiting planet A 3 in Col 173 Sector LJ-F c12-0, a system that contained at least five ruin sites. The ship's logs, dated between January 13 and February 18, contain much of the same information revealed in the earlier transmission concerning Melville's theories on the Guardians, and also reveal why the ship never returned.<ref name="Cete">[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.phpthreads/355713-Alienalien-archeology-and-other-mysteries-Threadthread-10-Thethe-canonn.355713/post-Canonn?p=5643560&viewfull=1#post5643560 Frontier Forums: Thread: Alien archeology and other mysteries: Thread 10 - The Canonn, post #1,460]</ref>
 
Apparently, Melville's crew became concerned that Melville had gone insane and would not allow The Cete to return home, and decided to abandon him. Melville was to be left in the drive-less lab portion of the ship with several years' worth of supplies, while the crew departed in the detachable drive ship. However, Melville learned of this plan, shot one of his assistants, and sealed off the drive ship, trapping them all. The final log indicates that The Cete's atmospheric processors were deactivated long enough for the ship's oxygen supply to be completely depleted. Professor Melville and the crew presumably died of asphyxiation.<ref name="Cete" />
 
===Ram Tah's Scanner Breakthrough===
On February 13, 3303, Ram Tah announced that he had made a significant breakthrough in how to detect Ancient Ruins sites. Using a signal isolated from the Guardians' monolith network, Ram Tah made it possible for all ship scanners to identify sites within a range of 1,000 light seconds, greatly reducing the time and difficulty involved in the location process.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/58a1c19915ac1c7d7426dab9 GalNet: Galactic News: Ram Tah Makes Breakthrough]</ref>

*With the release of the 2.2.03 update on January 10, 2017, in addition to the activation of Ram Tah's archaeology mission, the layout of the first Ancient Ruins site was also slightly changed.
*The [[GalNet]] article for the Ram Tah mission was originally released in error on December 9, 3302 during the beta period for the 2.2.03 update, and so was removed. When 2.2.03 was released the GalNet article was not republished, also in error.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/deleted-galnet-article-for-ram-tah-mission.329047/#post5144066 Frontier Forums: Deleted Galnet article for Ram Tah mission?, post #8]</ref>
*The original bonus payout for collecting all 101 data items for the Ram Tah mission was 100 million credits. It was reduced to 10 million credits in July 2017.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/changes-to-ram-tah-mission-bonus-rewards.366268/ Frontier Forums: Changes to Ram Tah Mission Bonus Rewards]</ref>
