High Earth Orbit

A huge "ring" of thousands of dead Protoss ships, beacons, and materials drifted endlessly, orbiting around Earth. Every now and then, clusters of ships would burn up in the atmosphere, finally pulled in by Earth's gravitational pull. For the most part, however, a majority of the destroyed Protoss ships have floated around, untouched after the fateful attack.

However, several Syndicate Vanguard-Class Bulk Freighters fitted with salvaging equipment dropped out of warp, ready to harvest the Protoss wrecks. While it was doubtful that new technology can be found - it was the reactor components, as well as advanced materials that were the most valuable. More and more freighters, as well as their respective cruisers, drop in, sometimes taking entire husks with them. As they retrieve their materials, they soon warp out, only for another mining sortie to come in, harvesting the other dead Protoss ships.

Occasionally, there would be internment flashes of light as small Protoss ships awoke from their deep slumber, only to be annihilated by quick-firing Projectile Accelerators. For the most part, the operation is successful, with only one freighter lost due to a sub-light collision with several of the wrecks.
