An Ancients Site is a world (...or conceivably the star system) which includes one or more locations identified as the ruins of the long-dead race called the Ancients. ^[1]

Ancient Sites are often exploited for the Artifact remains of this long dead technological civilization. ^[2]

History & Background (Dossier)

Artifacts are objects produced by the high-tech civilization of the Ancients (...which are distinct from archeologicals). ^[3] It is the hope of every adventurer in Charted Space to find valuable artifacts and other treasures at an undiscovered ancients site.

LONG AGO: Intelligence does not guarantee success. For eons, worlds evolved intelligent life, and each of these sophont species lived and died without ever leaving its home system. Eventually, some sophonts reached beyond their system to the nearest stars. Some established colonies on other worlds; some tried to explore the universe with generation ships. But all were restricted by their NAFAL technology ships, and even long-lived races found the speed limits of the universe frustrating. ^[4]

These races often established precursor sites, which are generically identified as Ancients Sites. While identified as Ancients Sites, not all are. Some sites have been tentatively identified as belonging to other precursor species. Researching the more advanced technology of the Ancients can be fraught with danger. The TL-15 theoretical technology maximum of most of Charted Space would have been as child's play to the Ancients and the legendary Grandfather.
