**Thargoid Surface Site** は、惑星の表面に見られる不規則に広がるThargoid による構造物である。3303年6月26日にHIP19026星系の惑星B1Cで最初のサイトが発見され、それ以来200以上の他のサイトが確認された。これらの部位の機能と目的は現在不明である。

## Description

### Exterior

Thargoid Surface Sites は、クレーターの中央にある有機物のような構造、またはらせん構造の中心にあるくぼみからなり、らせんの8本の腕からはより多くの有機物が突出している。中央の構造は、短い腕をもつ小さならせんであり、Thargoid Interceptor の形を思い起こさせる。8枚のパネルで構成されたドアが、サーフェスと平行に配置され、構造の中心にある。トンネルは地下を通っており、サイトの中に深く入り込んでいるように見えるが、ドアで塞がれており、ドアを開けるには Thargoid Sensor か Thargoid Probe が必要である。車両が中央構造物に接近または進入すると、HUD に影響を与える光電磁干渉が発生する。サイトには、崩壊していない「アクティブ領域」と崩壊している「非アクティブ領域」の二種類がある。それぞれのサイトは他の場所よりも発達しているか完全であるように見え、その構造の大部分は地上から見える。

現場の周囲には「Unknown Uplink Devices（不明なアップリンクデバイス）」が散在しており、回収可能であるが腐食性が強い「Unknown Technology Samples（不明なテクノロジサンプル）」。これらをスキャンすることにより、3種類の Material data、すなわち、Thargoid Material 組成データ、Thargoid 残差データ分析、および Thargoid 構造物データを生成することができる。さらに、敷地全体の Organic Structures（有機構造物） を破壊して、Sulphur（硫黄）や Iron（鉄）、Meta-Alloys といった材料を得ることができる。

「Scavenger」 と呼ばれるドローンのようなものも現場のいたるところにありますが、こちらが攻撃するまで敵対的ではない。

### Unknown Device

Inside the Surface Site is a Thargoid machine identified as an "Unknown Device" which appears alive. Scavengers seem to nourish the Thargoid Eggs on the ground. Activating the machine requires one Thargoid Sensor, Thargoid Probe, and Thargoid Link. All three items will open the door leading into the structure.

Thargoid Links can be found at Surface Sites, but Sensors and Probes will need to be sourced elsewhere and transported to the Sites; Corrosion Resistant Cargo Racks are helpful in this matter. Thargoid Probes can be found orbiting Ammonia Worlds in Threat Level 2 Non-Human Signal Sources. Thargoid Sensors can be found at Alien Crash Sites, such as at HIP 17403 A 4 A or HIP 17862 6 C A, or free floating in various systems within an approximate 150 light year radius from the Merope system.

Once activated with all three objects, the Unknown Device generates what appears to be a holographic star map highlighting specific systems across a galaxy, and emits three "Unknown Signals" that are logged in the Notifications tab. Spectrograms of these signals produce maps. The dot positions appear to change when the star map is generated.

It was also discovered that any one of the various artifacts found at the Ancient Ruins of the Guardians produces an adverse reaction when placed in the Unknown Device. The machine begins pulsing with energy and producing intense heat that can rapidly damage any non-Thargoid vehicles in its vicinity. This reaction lasts for several minutes.

#### Following Unknown Signals

Thargoid Links can be combined with Unknown Signals to lead the way to other Thargoid Surface Sites. After activating an Unknown Device and acquiring its Unknown Signals, take an Unknown Link into space and deploy it. Next, play one of the Unknown Signals. The Thargoid Link will react and point the way to the location of a system and planet that hosts another Thargoid Surface Site. Notably, these systems usually also feature Ammonia Worlds and a high concentration of Thargoid Sensors.

## History

The first Thargoid Surface Site was located on HIP 19026 B 1 C on June 26, 3303 by CMDR Lightningwing. The Site was the origin of an "Unknown Signal Source" identified after a beacon in Maia directed CMDRs to comm relays in the Electra and Calaeno systems. Logs obtained from Communication Hub Zeta 12 orbiting the planet Electra 4 and Relay Station PSJ-17 orbiting the planet Calaeno 1, both locations associated with the mysterious Black Flight unit, contained the following coded message:

*12 15 3 1 20 5 4:UKHKMWK RFDKLI RMUQCT: RYRSTJ BFN 19026:NILKTS O﻿ 1 C:ILS JFKUR 17:IMKD JFKUR 152:NITLRT QTJTJOTO(Q?) UR:OTS SBT JTRRLDT MUS:*
Which decrypted to:

*LOCATED:UNKNOWN SIGNAL SOURCE: SYSTEM HIP 19026:PLANET B﻿ 1 C:LAT MINUS 17:LONG MINUS 152:PLEASE REMEMBEB(R?) US:BET THE MESSAGE OUT:*
This led directly to the first Site. By the following day, four additional Sites had been discovered in nearby systems. The discoveries were hailed by Professor Palin, a noted Thargoid researcher, as a remarkable development.

On July 5, 3303, Palin acknowledged that the structures provided valuable insight into Thargoid technology and also confirmed a connection between Thargoids and Unknown Artefacts and Probes. Ram Tah, the lead researcher on the Guardians, commented that the reaction Thargoid Unknown Devices have to Guardian artefacts suggests the Thargoids and Guardians may have had prior contact, and that this may not have been peaceful.

## Locations

The first 15 sites discovered by CMDRs are listed below. The Canonn maintains a 3D Unknown Site Map with additional known locations, and a full list of all 229 sites can be found here. Note that an additional site is believed to exist in the HIP 22460 system, which is also the location of the Megaship Overlook, but this system is currently permit-locked and the site cannot be confirmed. A 229th site was discovered on planet 2 A in the Outotz ST-I d9-6 system, well away from the known Thargoid sites, following a Thargoid attack on The Gnosis on September 6, 3304.

## Notes

* Attempting to log-out of the game while at a Thargoid Surface Site triggers a prompt alerting the player that they "are currently in a dangerous region", and that their vehicle will be moved outside that region when they log back in to ensure the player won't be immediately endangered.
* After activating the Unknown Device, there is a chance that a Thargoid Interceptor will jump in and scan the player in their SRV after exiting the interior of the central structure.
