Best random event ever

You have unearthed several ships on Mars...

...more like a hundred.  Usually when this event rolls around I don't need any fighters, but as it happens I needed some since the Thalans were getting pretty good at wiping them out.  And that meant I was losing ships that usually had fighter cover.

This was the Precursor Corvette event? Aren't those things usually pretty weak?

Yeah those are usually really weak, and the sheer number of them really eats into my economy... and since by the time I get them I can build ships that are far more powerful, I usually end up decomissioning most of them TBH. I find the Precursor Ranger event far better because none of my enemies will ever be able to build a ship that can match it until very late-game.

They are pretty weak, but they are great for soaking up laser fire in the first couple of rounds of combat.  Does mean that I need to get more fighters out to the front lines eventually, but for the moment I can keep my focus on research.

I've been playing this game for years and still I have never had this event happening to me.

I think that you need to be behind in the Military ratings for it to happen to you.
