One UFO has crashed into the side of a hill which has tunnels and pipes within and broken windows elsewhere.

	* ~~Armaments~~ visible inside the craft near the perimeter, ~~typically near 'windows'.~~		* A single grav-lift within the exact middle of the floorplan which allows access to higher levels inside the UFO.
