An '''Alien Crash Site''' consists | An '''Alien Crash Site''' consists of a shipwreck of an ancient [[Thargoid]] [[Thargoid Interceptor|Interceptor]] that crashed on a planet's surface. The first such site was discovered in the [[Pleiades Nebula|Pleiades Sector]] AB-W B2-4 system on August 30, 3302. Additional sites were later found in HIP 17862 and HIP 17403. An analysis by [[Aegis]] says the one in Pleiades Sector AB-W B2-4 is a little over 100 years old.<ref name=":0" /> The alien ships are believed to be inert. | ||

The | The shipwreck has an organic appearance and it is scattered near a shallow depression caused by the impact of the alien ship. There are fourteen visible pieces of the 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 size. | ||
The circumstances of the ship's crash into Pleiades Sector AB-W B2-4 9 A, as well as how long the ship has been there, are unknown. The | The circumstances of the ship's crash into 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, and given the concentration of wreckage in a relatively small area, it is possible that the ship was intact up until its impact with the moon's surface, at which time it shattered. It is speculated that the ship's pilot or pilots, if any, may still be aboard. | ||
