This sound a promising lead....what's the book called again? Cmon Tangy tell us more of what's in there, I barely have real life time to play the game let alone read a book on it,
If it wasn't for work I wouldn't even get time to come on the forums. ^^
lol I really would like to say more but I think I would get into trouble with FD even if I enclosed the stuff in spoiler tags. However Michael did mention Thargoids in his post, so I will say its all about them. I'm reading through now for clues.
Im doing my bit though currently in Peregrina system, will let you know if I figure anything out. Keep up the great work with this thread Arcanonn

Try "Mostly Harmless" by Kate Russell a much more specific mention about finding an artifact leading to the discovery of the home of the thargoids, with an awesome twist at the end about the thargoids attempting to prevent the discovery heck even the new voice pack for Voice attack has a reference to a character in the book aswell.
Actually, come to think of it, even lossless encoding wouldn't help with high frequencies - a sample rate of 48KHz can't represent any signal of >24kHz. (and even that will be badly degraded)

This reminds me of that Cicada 3301 mystery online.... Hang on a second, 3301?! Thargoids are giant insect like Cicada right?! i wonder, maybe there is a link up.
Edit update:
ok interesting(quiet day at work
) the "solution" to Cicada 3301 in 2012 was a website emiwp4muu2ktwknf.onion Note the ".onion" I think Brookesy has taken, at the very least, this whole puzzle we are starting, inspiration from Cicada 3301. .Onion = Onionhead? Cicada =Thargoids? 3301 the year we are playing in? Coincidence? Maybe, but i have a feeling this will be a deep puzzle and might take a long time to follow the trail.

Thanks Dworth....although if this does turn out to be a wild goose chase I for one am going to have a large serving of egg on my face
More like - He knocked on the door "hello?", "HELLO" Death replied.
I was thinking along the same lines as you, in that the best info may come from the books. I actually spent quite a lot of time in LHS 412 after checking the Soontill lead. But hours of searching later and I only discovered the typical salvage you see everywhere, although 3 Anaconda's did try to ambush me by laying a trap with a canister of AI Relics, which I never managed to grab unfortunately.
I think the value of unknown artifacts may be a giveaway too. They're worth over 200K. I'm not sure something worth that much would be found unguarded so I'm guessing we'll have to fight off Anacondas and the like to get at it? The incident with the AI Relics made me think along those lines.

In the book Angel's "Advisor" is an AI named "DORIS" she has turns out to be a trap laid by the Thargoids to stop people discovering the Thargoid home/source LHS 412-iV is where they supposedly find something although not as expected, but it is where she is attacked by "DORIS" and all is revealed.
That was my reasoning for scouting out the system and looking for anything connected to the characters/ship names etc etc from there. we know that USS etc are random so maybe its a case of winging up to take on some of these etc.
