Artifacts

From Starport: Galactic Empires

One reason you might want to explore the lesser known parts of the galaxy is the chance you might discover one of the rare Intergalactic artifacts on the surface of some forgotten planet. There are only a handful of these items in the entire galaxy and they are quite valuable finds. Flying your ship over an artifact will place it in your character's personal inventory and award 500 experience. Once there it will improve your character. Even if you find an artifact you don't necessarily want, you could trade it to someone who does for a nice price. If you already have 3 you cannot pick up any new artifacts until you trade away or jettison one from your current inventory. Also you can't tell what type of artifact you have found until it is picked up.
