A '''Crashed Thargoid Ship''' consists of an ancient [[Thargoid]] [[Thargoid Interceptor|Interceptor]] shipwreck on a planet's surface. The first site was discovered in the Pleiades Sector AB-W b2-4 system on August 30, 3302~~. Additional sites were later found~~ in HIP ~~17862~~, ~~HIP 17403, and elsewhere~~. Initially, it was not known or obvious that ~~these~~ sites had any connection to the Thargoids, but on October 14, 3303, Professor [[Alba Tesreau]] of [[Aegis]] confirmed that the crashed ships were Thargoid ~~Interceptors~~.

A '''Crashed Thargoid Ship''' consists of an ancient [[Thargoid]] [[Thargoid Interceptor|Interceptor]] or [[Thargoid Scout|Scout]] shipwreck on a planet's surface. The first wreckage site, a Thargoid Interceptor, was discovered in the Pleiades Sector AB-W b2-4 system on August 30, 3302, while the first crashed Thargoid Scout was discovered in HIP 17125 on September 28, 3303. Initially, it was not known or obvious that the sites had any connection to the Thargoids, but on October 14, 3303, Professor [[Alba Tesreau]] of [[Aegis]] confirmed that the crashed ships were definitively Thargoid in origin. Crashed Thargoid Ship sites are concentrated in the [[Pleiades Nebula]] and [[Coalsack Nebula]], regions where the Thargoids are known to have an extensive presence.

==Description==

Crashed Thargoid Ship sites consist of wreckage from a [[Thargoid Interceptor]] scattered in a canyon, near a shallow depression caused by the impact. 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 diameter.

All of the pieces are considerably larger than a [[Scarab]] [[SRV]], and the intact ship is approximately between a [[Python]] and an [[Anaconda]] in diameter.

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]].

==History==

In 3302, three [[Commander]]s, Mahina Dillon, Otto Granger, and Logan Kohl, experienced an "incident" that led them to a discovery of great importance. On August 27, 3302, the three hacked public [[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 ~~their origin was~~ a mystery.<ref name=":0" />

On October 14, 3303, an analysis by Professor [[Alba Tesreau]] of [[Aegis]] confirmed suspicions that the first crash site was an ancient [[Thargoid Interceptor]]. Tesreau stated, ''"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.
