| Artifact Name | Type | Effect | Mission | Total Available | Scrap Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Anomaly Readings | Research points | Collected data from the Sector G Anomaly. Grants 4 hours worth of research production. | Anomalous Appearance | 20 | |
| Antimatter Drill | Planet structure | Allows the creation of Antimatter Drill structures on your planets. Limit of 1 per planet.
Size: 1, Mining: 1, Artifact 1, Attack: 400, Limit: 1. | Drill Capture | 10 | Complex Tech Parts |
| Archaic Stasis Cells | Planet Structure | Constructs Archaic Stasis Cells on your planet. Limit of 1 per planet.
Invasion Defense: 500, Population: 200, Limit: 1. | Empty Arrival | 10 | Complex Tech Parts |
| Cloning Center | Planet structure | [Size: 1, Population: 275]
Constructs a Cloning Center on your planet (limit 2 per planet). Cannot be constructed on Gas Planets. | Drannik Rebirth | 5 | Complex Tech Parts |
| Contact Coordinates | Battle | Spawns one eligible Rare Non-Player enemy to your Battle Tab. | Tracking the Contacts | 5 | |
| Crimson Cluster Missile | Battle, enemy | Destroys one standard, non-artifact, Defense, Attack, or Population structure at random on an enemy planet. | The Crimson Cluster Project | 20 | |
| Drannik Alliance Pact | Player | Signs a permanent Alliance with the Drannik. Unlocks the ability to choose Drannik whenever picking a new Race. The Drannik Race provides a 40% bonus attack against NPCs. | A Pact with the Drannik | 1 | |
| Drannik Colony Ship | Planet, player | Allows the free colonization of a habitable unoccupied planet for the Drannik. Does not use up one of your planet colony slots for your rank. Cannot be used on Toxic, Volcanic, Gas or Shared planets. | Drannik Awakening | 3 | |
| Dyson Transformer | Planet, permanent | Turns any Metallic planet into a Dyson Sphere. Requires 50 energy to use.
All Resources will permanently increase to 28x Mega Rich, the planet will increase to Colossal size, and it will gain 10,000 Passive Attack, Defense, and Cloak. Note 1: Use the Dyson Transformer on the smallest, resource-poorest metallic planet you can find for best effect. The Dyson created will get the above stats no matter what its stats were before; whether it's Tiny and Sparse or Colossal and Mega-Rich, it will always become a Colossal 28x Mega Rich Dyson. So the smaller and sparser the original planet, the bigger the improvement/benefit will be. Note 2: The passive Attack, Defense, and Cloaking stats were added in the Christmas 2010 update. If you used the Dyson Transformer to create a Dyson before this update, contact the developers to have the passive bonuses added to your planet. Only the original creator of the planet can request the passive bonuses be added; the developers will NOT add the bonuses to planets that have since been invaded. Note 3: Any existing passive bonuses that the planet has before it is Dyson-transformed will be retained on top of the +10,000 passive attack, defense, and cloaking bonuses, making the planet even better. It will also receive legion bonus stats just like all of your other planets, meaning the planets total attack, defense and cloak bonuses can each be well over 20,000 before you even build a single weapon, defense module, or cloaking satellite. Note 4: Make sure you use a Flux Probe on your planet BEFORE you use the Dyson Transformer. If someone has already scanned the planet before you use the Dyson Transformer, they will still be able to see it after you use it. And that opens the planet up to attack! It IS still possible for someone to conquer a planet that has 10,000 attack and defense! | The Colossal Project | 1 | |
| Exo-Rift Repulsor | Trap, planet, 2 weeks | When applied, a ship that attacks the target planet has a chance to cause that planet to be immune to artifacts for 24 hours. | Exo-Rift Expansion | 20 | |
| Exotic Barrier Blueprints | Planet structures, repeatable | Allows the creation of Exotic Barrier structures on your planets. Build Cost: 500 Credits, 400 Exotic Matter Defence: 250 | Exotic Revelations | 1 | |
| Exotic Lab Blueprints | Planet structures, repeatable | Allows the creation of Exotic Lab structures on your planets. | Exotic Innovation | 1 | |
| Exotic Turret Blueprints | Planet structure, repeatable | Allows the creation of Exotic Turret structures on your planets.
Note: the Exotic Turret will be added to your planet build lists. | Exotic Endeavours | 1 | |
| Experimental Crate | Ship, permanent | A crate containing many experimental android parts. Adds 4 of each type of crew to your ship when opened. (4 Engineers AND 4 Tactical Officers AND 4 Helmsmen AND 4 Scientists)
Note: additional crew of any type also increases your raiding attack and defence. | Suspicious Construction | 5 | |
| The Gaia Seed | Planet, permanent | Turns a Terra planet into a Gaia planet and increases its size by one and all three resources by two. (Abundant -> Extremely Abundant, Rich -> Extremely Rich, etc) | The Drannik Extinction | 5 | Credits |
| Gamma Crystallizer 1 | Planet, permanent | Transforms a Desert planet into a Crystal planet and increases its size by one and all three resources by two. (Abundant -> Extremely Abundant, Rich -> Extremely Rich, etc) | Crystal Inferno | 10 | |

When activated, it will allow you to change your race and profession. | The Zolazin Battle | 3 | Cannot be scrapped |
| Gravidynamic Scan Data | Planet, player | Reveals the location of an unoccupied Ecumenopolis planet. Always Large, Mining: Abundant, Artifacts: Ultra Rich, Research: 2x Mega Rich, Passive Attack +150, Passive Defence +150, Passive Cloak +150. | City of None | 2 | |
| Hyper Terraformer Device | Planet, permanent | Transforms a planet into an Exotic World, and boosts its passive defenses significantly. (All Resources = 13x Mega Rich, Size = Massive, Passive Attack/Defense/Cloak = 10,000) Note 1: if the planet is already larger than Massive, the planet will actually shrink in size, so do not use on a Very Massive or bigger planet. Note 2: The Exotic created will get these stats no matter what its stats were before, whether it's a Tiny, Sparse, Barren planet or a Colossal, Mega-Rich Oceanic. It is therefore best to use the Hyper Terraformer on your WORST colonised planet to get the biggest benefit. Note 3: The passive Attack, Defense, and Cloaking stats were added in the Christmas 2010 update. If you used the Hyper Terraformer before then, contact the developers to have the passive bonuses added to your planet. Only the original creator of the planet can request the passive bonuses be added; the developers will NOT add the bonuses to planets that have been invaded. Note 4: Any existing passive bonuses that a planet has before it is Hyper-terraformed will be retained on top of the +10,000 Passive Attack, Defense, and Cloaking bonuses, making the planet even better. Volcanic planets can receive large passive attack bonuses from Eruption Channellers for instance, so ensure the planet is maxed out on these bonuses first. It will also receive legion bonus stats just like all of your other planets, meaning the Exotics' total attack, defense and cloak bonuses can each be well over 20,000 before you even build a single weapon, defense module, or cloaking satellite! Note 5: Any existing modules on the planet that require a specific planet type will continue to work. It is therefore a very good idea to use the Hyper Terraformer on a planet that already has one of these. Examples include the Quantum Hydro-Meliorator (Oceanic) and the Permafrost Sub-network (Arctic). Note 6: Make sure you use a Flux Probe on your planet BEFORE you use the Hyper Terraformer. If someone has already scanned the planet before you use the Hyper Terraformer, they will still be able to see the planet after you use it. And that opens the planet up to attack! | The Terra Project | 1 | |

1 The Gamma Crystallizer description says adds 1 to size, but I have used it on two planets and have gotten +3 to size and +2 to size. I think that it has been tweaked a bit since being introduced.
