The Ancient Ruins prior to 2.2.03
The Ancient Ruins prior to 2.2.03

Ancient Ruins are ruins belonging to an alien race known as the Guardians. The first Ancient Ruins site was discovered on October 27, 3302 by CMDR XDeath in the Synuefe XR-H D11-102 system.[1][2] A second site was discovered on January 29, 3303, and explorers are searching for the locations of three other potential sites.

Description

The Ancient Ruins consist of one main complex of apparent earthworks or buried structures in a roughly-pentagonal shape, with two sections of concentric circular earthworks or structures. Scattered among the complex are numerous clusters of obelisks, which remain functional despite their abandonment.

Data and Salvage

The features of the ruins could be scanned to acquire encrypted data packages in various patterns: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Epsilon. In addition, there were six types of salvageable items that could be found: Ancient Orbs, Tablets, Totems, Urns, Caskets, and Relics.

Decryption

Beginning on January 10, 3303, Engineer Ram Tah provided a free decryption program to all ships that docked at any station in the Meene system, which allowed them to decrypt the data found at the ruins. The program was only usable for 28 days after receipt, as the Guardians' technology had the ability to adapt to the decryption. Investigation of the ruins using the program in conjunction with specific combinations of salvage items revealed significant details about the history and culture of the Guardians.

Additional Sites

On January 24, 3303, Ram Tah announced that analysis of additional data provided by the galactic community[3] had allowed him to detect additional Guardian ruin sites. Although unable to discern the exact number of sites or their locations, he narrowed down the possible locations to four systems: Synuefe ZL-J d10-119, Synuefe XO-P c22-17, IC 2391 Sector ZE-A d101, and IC 2391 Sector GW-V b2-4.[4]
