Ruins
From Starsonata Wiki
Ruins can be found on planets when scanned. If a colony exists you will be able to buy special items from a colony built on that planet.
All of the ruins discovered by players belonged once to great empires of the Ancient Races. Should they have prevailed to the current day, the universe would be a much different place, and the Terrans may have never lasted long enough to take to the stars. Unfortunately, they were destroyed by an UrQa invasion fleet shortly after the first Paxian visit to our universe. This first UrQa occupation was eventually routed and their fleets destroyed, but it was too late for the Mzungu, Bule, Vazaha and Faranji. Much of this lore is revealed within the Enigma and Ancient Ruin mission lines.
