Line 80:
** Examples of merely a lot of spread-out wrecks happen occasionally, including in the graphic novel ''Bloodquest''.
** Space Hulks - giant asteroids with the ancient wreckage of hundreds of ships embedded in them - are a recurring plot device and the basis for an entire series of Space Hulk games, whether full of handfuls of Genestealers, millions of Orks, or an STC device the Imperium has to snatch from the claws/choppas of aforementioned nasties.
** Games Workshop sells a downed Aquilla Lander as a miniature (landscape element).
** ''[[Rogue Trader]]'' grabs it and flies off with it. There are many. A bunch of derelicts left after an ancient battle on the outskirts of a system is a generic feature for [[Randomly Generated Levels|randomly generated discovered systems]]. There's one location of which seems to change and it's rumoured to actually be a nest of a Space Kraken that captures ships and devours their crew. There's a whole system full of derelicts in different stages of damage and disassembly, lots of which by all rights should not be anywhere near that area at all, with strange creatures scavenging them and generally sanity-impairing atmosphere. There are also places like Breaking Yards, full of derelicts and squalid scavenger habitats - you may try to find something useful there, but this "cheap" approach isn't exactly respected in the spacefaring community, the most obvious good stuff is probably taken many centuries ago, and it's not necessarily safe to rummage.
* The Lintha Family stronghold of Bluehaven in ''[[Exalted]]''.
* Several locations in the ''[[Ravenloft]]'' setting qualify, including the ring of battered wrecks that encircle Monette's isle, and the kelp-mired vessels enmeshed in the domain of Saragoss.
