Name: biological plague
Idea: cmdrlenton

It will take time, but will kill of the entire population of a world, and after terraforming, can be colonisable again, and any structures will not be damaged, and will be there to conquer. There are very few of these. These cannot be researched of developed, as if you open the capsule it will be released and contaminate your world.
Effects: Poisons an entire planet, 1 time use only, needs antidote to cure.
Name: Antidote
Idea: cmdrlenton

Name:The Uraj And Khalis
Idea: VorlonDAW
Location:
Description: These 2 Artifacts, when found in put together on one ship, make tremendous power.
Effects: It adds 100 Power to a ships attack power. It also gives 15 points Surprise in the special element catagory
Name: Psi Disruptor
Idea: VorlonDAW
Location:
Description: this disrupts Telepaths. This can be researched and produced by the finding race, but cannot be sold to other races. Vorlon allies would probably want to destroy this artifact, shadow allies would probably want to use it.
Effects: makes all psi attacks on this race have no affect where artifact is present.
Name: Planetary shield generator
Idea: Vice345
Location:
Description: allows the generation of a shield around the world on which its found. too big to move elsewhere or reproduce.
Effects: adds 500 to defence rating of planet.
Name: Jumppoint disrupter
Idea: dhull@cobweb.net
Location:
Description:shown used by shadows against narns, fired into jumppoints, makes them breakup, blocking a races escape or making them go into the energy well and blow up. this can be researched and developed but can only be produced by finding race, and cannot be sold.
Effects: allows this extra weapons to be build and put onto ships, and an be used in battles by those ships.
Name: gateway
Idea: Bocal1@usa.net
Location:
Description:A new gate that can move the owners races ships to any other location instantly, however this is very unstable and its a 50% chance of every ship entering will blow up due to the high power involved, and if 10 of more ships blow up the gateway blows up, and can damage things around it. it cannot be researched or produced, and after 10 ships have blown up in it, it will blow up, and cannot be used anymore. However continued study of this artifact may allow you to build a mobile-gateway generator, like a mobile vortex generator, which holds the same risks, but can be placed on individual ships, and of course can be mobile, not having to go through gate.
Effects: A speedy gettaway, or quick attack method.
Name: BI-CULTURAL HARMONIZER
Idea: cthulhu500
Location:
Description: "A large (100m) metal obolisk with two spacious airtight booths in the base...it has surfaced several times in recorded history...believed to originally have been used as an insurance policy on an allegiance by two ancient races...it has been put to similar ends by several extinct races since"
- Encyclopedia Galactica
This telepathic device picks up on the social subconsciousness of two races and sends out signals that enhance their mutual understanding, allowing them to work better together.
Effects: This has 2 benefits...
A) If the races have a trade route between them they both gain DOUBLE income from it.
B) Military ventures by fleets of the two races gain a 10% benefit to Power in any conflict where they are both present.
It has one downside...it is fueled by telepaths. One telepath per race is placed in it (only two booths exist for teeps...this limits the devices ability...any attempts to modify it will destroy it). The teeps are kept in suspended animation. Over the course of a random period (say 2days - 6 months) the device slowly drains the telepaths, killing them. Any telepath can fuel the device, even a lowly P1.
Users may only attune to one other race. A new set of two races can use it later...but bonding is a one time only affair for each race. So if one race stops...you both lose out...forevermore.
