Gallic Artifacts

Gallic Artifacts are peculiar entities that are rumored to originate from remote parts of Gallia. They have nothing in common with Nomad artifacts found in other parts of Sirius, and it is likely that they originate from another ancient alien civilization. None of the known artifacts are active, and those available on the black market of Gallia are extremely expensive. A strict embargo on those items exists in Gallia, and the Gallic government is denying even the fact that the artifacts exist, with Navy and Police ordered to use deadly force on any unauthorised carriers. However, some fortunate Sirius traders have been able to acquire small portions of those items, hoping that researchers from Sirius would one day discover their true value and offer millions to get a single one. Yet, trading those artifacts is risky, since unwary buyers are usually offered fake items. Telling a fake from a real Gallic Artifact is easy, but even in Gallia few people are trusted to possess and trade those items, and finding such person is a challenge for an outsider.
