I was unable to find the purpose of the Scavengers while I was at this very creepy place.

I think they are remaining worker drones still doing their jobs though the bases seem to be abandoned.
Thing is, that despite the fact, that the Thargoids are in the game for a long time now (and much longer in the lore), we never got much information on them, despite what we can observe ourselves and the summary in the codex. And since every single Thargoid ship is solely restricted to a combat encounter only (yes, we can probe them, but since collected samples are only useful for the Guardian puzzle, that's pretty pointless), the only thing we know about these, is how they break apart and what kinds of weapons they have.
Canonn collected a lot of information on Thargoids, but their research is limited to what the game presents us.
Where is the lore? Where are the results of AEGIS researching Thargoids? How exactly do they look? What are their ships made of? What's the scientist's take on the bases?
Why are there no answers to anything Thargoid, but only gameplay mechanics and a rough story that is nice for the casual player who needs a reason to shoot them, but is not nearly enough to integrate that alien race into lore.
Additionally, there is, of course, more lore on Thargoids in Elite's prequel, and some of it is supposed canon, but some is not. What is what we don't know, since Frontier never bothered to point that out elaborately.
So... are there Oresrians and Klaxxians in ED lore?!? The INRA and Jameson thing happened, since there are bases and Jameson's wreck, but what about the antivirus that was part of making peace with the Thargoids earlier? Did that happen? We don't really know, since at some point Frontier mentioned something vague about it, but there is no statement, no real lore and close to no knowledge on an alien race, humanity was at war with about 200 years ago, and which now reemerged...
There is a lot on the Guardians, since they wrote a lot of lore for the monolith network we can discover, but all the knowledge that people are bound to have aquired about a race we are actively in contact with, must be available somewhere, even if some of it is locked away behind the doors of secret laboratories.
So Frontier, please close the lore gap, not only on Thargoids, but many, many other things in the game. Sure, that's work, but it's your game world, and it's a simulation. Without lore it's devoid of motivation.
But their friends don't like you doing that.![[PS4] Filthymick420](https://d2aefvhu2f0gi9.cloudfront.net/data/avatars/m/201/201444.jpg?1555738739){kind=avatar}
