Crushed Cruiser
Console: event anomaly.325
Description
The shattered remnants of a cruiser-sized starship can be detected in a decaying orbit deep inside the atmosphere of …. It appears to have ventured far into the gas giant's atmosphere, perhaps in a desperate attempt to escape a pursuer, only to be crushed by the atmospheric pressure.
The vessel is too deep to be salvaged, but a structural scan of the wreckage has provided us with some interesting engineering data.

Energy Signature
Console: event anomaly.335
Description
The … has picked up a strange energy signature coming from somewhere deep inside the atmosphere of …. It appears to originate from a structure of some kind, possibly the remains of an orbital station, but the atmospheric pressure makes it impossible to approach. Nevertheless, scans of the unique signature have yielded a large amount of valuable physics data.
