The Issahar Artifacts [PDF]

The following manuscript was discovered during a thorough excavation of a site that could lead to artifacts of cultural significance.

And they conceded: indeed, the wreckage turned out to be the remains of an ancient spaceship, similar to those described in Sectoral Chronicles IV-VII, but much smaller and more rude in design - obviously, a relic of the days before the expansion. A small metal box was found in the remains of the ship, covered with several layers of resin-impregnated fabric and wax, which was mostly destroyed. The metal itself was highly oxidized, but served to protect the inner wooden box, which contained many thin sheets of brittle matter, consisting mainly of cellulose, which were brown and crumbled with age. Sheets were covered with runes of antiqua lingua, arranged in even rows.
