遗珍

Relics are very powerful artifacts and trophies that an empire can collect if they defeat a crisis or own the required DLC. Every Relic has a passive effect as well as a powerful Triumph effect that requires resources. All Relics have a Triumph cooldown during which no other relic can be activated. Most relics have a cooldown of 10 years, but some (e.g. the Cybrex War Forge and the Surveyor) have a shorter cooldown.

If an empire invades and captures the capital of another empire during any war that isn't "Claim the Galatron" there is a 10% chance to steal one of the owned Relics. The chance is increased to 15% if the empire has the  野蛮掠夺者（Barbaric Despoilers） civic.

Relics give large amounts of score, which can tip the balance in games with victory enabled. The If an empire conquers the capitalRelics Collected score for empires in the victory tab can be used to deduce which empire has relics.

Minor Artifacts

 稀有文物（Minor Artifacts） represent small artifacts left behind by ancient civilizations. Unlike all other resources they are not gained passively at the end of each month but rather have to be found. Minor Artifacts are used in artifact actions and decisions. If the  寰宇企业（Megacorp） DLC is installed they can also be used to upgrade a Mega Art Installation past its final stage.
