* The episode "Magnetic Rose" of ''[[Memories]]'' takes place in one.
* The debris belt from ''[[Gundam Seed]]'' qualifies. Arguably, the L4 colony cluster does too.
* The Dark Witch, the villain of the first ''[[Futari wa Pretty Cure (Anime)|Futari wa Pretty Cure Max Heart]]'' [[The Movie|movie]], makes her home in one of these.

Line 136 ⟶ 137:
* ''[[Far Cry]] 2'' has the Train variety in multiple areas, and a multiplayer map. Also Saharan Shipwrecks of a sort if you follow the tracks into the desert.
* The far side of the {{spoiler|Omega-4 Relay}} in ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'' is littered with broken and derelict ships {{spoiler|lacking the IFF transponder that tells the relay to send a ship through safely instead of shooting it. ''If'' you can get past the black hole flanking its exit point.}}
* The Sirius star system in ''Sol-Feace'' has several ship components -- including a large sheet of fuselage -- that come careening towards the player's starship, all of which can be shot back and redirected with opposing fire.

* Large concentrations of sunken ships can occur in Real Life. Naval battles are one reason (such as "Ironbottom Sound" off Guadalcanal, rumored to be lined with the hulks of so many sunken ships a magnetic compass is useless), mass scuttlings another, such as when the German High Seas Fleet was [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gutter_Sound scuttled at Scapa Flow] at the end of [[World War One]].
