Relics and expeditions

Humanity’s real spacecraft and landing sites are out there in the Sol system: probes in space and landers on the Moon and Mars. In space they’re listed in the bodies list’s Others tab, and supercruise drops you beside one you’re heading for. On a world they’re landing sites in the bodies list, with a marker when you’re on foot. Use one to claim it. Some are listed under another name until you find them.

Beyond Sol, a few relics lie in deep space at real catalogue stars. You hear of them as rumours: now and then from a station bar, and one a day from Gateway Station’s board. A rumour you’ve heard marks its star on the galaxy map with a violet four-pointed star, until you find it. Those relics show in the Others tab only in their own system.

Relics come in sets. The relic that completes a set pays a bonus, as a Codex entry. In Sol, the Others tab shows your progress on each set.

Gateway Station’s mission board offers expeditions: long trips to particular stars, with no passengers, until you’ve done them.

In the megacity on Earth, the Museum of Discovery shows how much of each set anyone has found, and the galaxy’s records. See Stations and cities.
