as some one who has seen those massive permit locked areas (see my avatar) i can say that to me (3 years in 3d modeling/ 2 years programming) they seem like nothing more than unrendered parts of the galaxy. they exist in perfect cubes that are 1000ly x 1000ly exactly, and the stars in those systems are all the same (bright white) as if they hadn't been designated a star class.
My theory is that either the Elite dangerous servers couldnt handle the entire galaxy size at the time the initial galaxy was created, or they are saving these zones for future Xpacs. Either way, i can almost certianly say they are 2 things.
1. Unimportant for now
2. incredibly immersion breaking & ugly to see
there are probably about 100 of those massive permit locked cubes out there.

So i'm look at the lore around shinrata, and...another sytem, close to the dark secrets of Nuentes and strange traffic of Bunda...
Skeggiko 0: In game lore"....Local rumours hint of secret meetings in the far reaches of their systems."
These are all systems in direct contact of Shinata.
I'm going to look.

sweet jesus, ill fire up my DBx and meet you there.
Alright guys. Theory time.
The unknown artefact is of mycoidal origin, the same one mentioned throughout here http://www.dream-ware.co.uk/first-encounters/journals/all/. This should be familiar as also one of the main things responsible for disabling the Thargoid hyperdrives. While this may not be the exact same Mycoid used to do that deed it is probably a variation of that. From this Elite lore there are a couple other remnants of different (or the same, who knows) Mycoids or things that are of mycoidal origin (search MYCOID ON MOON and KILLER IN YOUR PLASTIC! on the link I posted) that were used in terrorist attacks that were in the Federal and Independent space. This would help show the reason why it is carried by Federal Navy Ships. And based on these two articles it would also show why it is eating away at our ship, since their purpose was changes from targeting Thargoids, to human craft. Since the Unknown Artefact is also probably from the same strain that was used to take out the Thargoids hyperdrives, the human bio engineers probably gave it a way to communicate it's location so that it could help us search back and find the Thargoid origin. With the UA being a big part of the Horizon's Season, and because we will also be going to moons, maybe we will have to battle this plague when we land in some systems.

great post! the only issue is that we have seen UA convoys that are NOT fed, so that rules out the fed only thing.
other than that, deff worth looking into
Well as long as we haven't seen them with the Empire it would make sense. As if you read the article they were found in both Federal and Independent ships and stations. Also something else interesting from those articles. The late Emperor was said to know the location of the Thargoid homeworld.
Good. It's about time someone updated it to reflect our current status/thinking.
They have been found in Imperial convoys too. Getting the link now...

Guys.
Has anyone tried asking it nicely to tell us what it's doing?

joking aside... yes..
in open comms ive tried morse code and english.

and others have tried voice comms
Hmm well maybe at this point it would be possible for all parties to have their hand. I technically thought this tech may stem from imperials since they were looking into genetic modifications, which the federation judged them for. Granted the Feds and Imperials did work together on a lot of projects out of the public eye.
Few SAP 8 container tests for your viewing pleasure. And listening as well, I can't do listening.
SAP8 containers - they don't seem to have any sound on their own. There is something in the background, but it's there without the containers too. https://youtu.be/GPEg1bz1ur4
Bob with 7 dwarfs, vol 1: https://youtu.be/KdrXQWzUkCg
And volume two, further away from the star: https://youtu.be/mtjZQINtkTo
Do you see more than the usual number of his legs greenish, or I'm seeing things now? Did I leave him too long in the hold and some moss started to grow.... oh ah uh, I know! Mossfoot!

Maybe not an in game solution but still a potentially useful way to represent the audio.
Someone on reddit posted all the audio files related to the Unknown Artifact. https://www.reddit.com/r/UnknownArtefact/comments/3gira3/stripping_game_files_for_ua_sound/
Most of them mechanical chirping. Some are insectoid chirping or clicking. Some are the whale. Nothing we haven't heard before. Listened to all 102 files and nothing sounded significantly interesting. File 101 is a little weird but that's it.
