Emork's Legacy

General Information —> Setup Options —> Emork's Legacy

To celebrate retaking the Crown, Emperor Emork The Lizard King gave a present to all Commanders of the Nuniverse.

After being unseated as Emperor, Emork scoured the Nuniverse for something to give him the power needed to retake the throne. In his wanderings, he found several Ancient Artifacts of Power. It is these Ancient Artifacts of Power that he wishes to make available to the Commanders.

Emperor Emork hasn't been able to determine exactly what these Ancient Artifacts of Power actually do, and he asks the Commanders of the Nuniverse to help with this monumental task.

When a Commander identifies a new power of an Ancient Artifact, please send a PM containing the information to @Editors for verification. Once verified, the information will be added to the log below. In a highly competitive game, the finder might wish to remain anonymous until the end of the game. This request will be honored.

So far, he has established the following facts:

There are five Ancient Artifacts:
- – Emork's Blood
- – Emork's Bones
- – Emork's Flesh
- – Emork's Mind
- – Emork's Spirit
These Artifacts are burried on planets, and are located by mining for minerals.
These Artifacts cannot be destroyed.
These Artifacts have insignificant mass and volume.
These Artifacts can't be taken by the Rob Ship mission, but the starship they're in can be robbed and tow-captured.
All Artifacts have the same Powers on planets.
The different Artifacts have different Powers when on a starship.
When two Artifacts are in the same starship, their Powers interact to generate a new Power, without diminishing the original Powers.
To move an Artifact from a planet to a starship, the Load Artifact mission is used.
To move an Artifact from a starship to either another starship or to a planet, the Transfer Artifact mission is used.
Artifacts are unaffected by Friendly Codes.
If a starship carrying an Artifact is destroyed in ship-to-planet combat, the Artifact will appear on the planet ( Othrym - Year 86 )
If a starship carrying an Artifact is destroyed in ship-to-ship combat, the Artifact will appear on the victorious starship ( Siltur - Year 86 )
If a starship captures an Artifact in combat, any combat-related enhancements will be in effect for the next combat ( Othrym - Year 94 )
If a starship carrying an Artifact is destroyed in non-combat (Glory Device or Minefield), the Artifact will appear on a random nearby planet ( Commander Koski - Year 120 )
Artifacts have been verified to work when onboard Horwasp starships ( Vindicator - Year 122 )
If an Artifact, or Artifact combination, is on a Starship and it effects a planet (Government level, Mineral density or Temperature), that effect will happen regardless of which player owns the planet. ( Peyoan - Tear 128 ).

At this time, it is unknown whether or not two Artifacts will generate new Powers when used on a Planet. In addition, it is unknown whether or not three or more Artifacts in the same location will generate additional Powers.
