Ascension Crystal
Description
Ascension Crystals are one of the 3 Artifacts in the game.
Ascension Crystals appear as red, glowing/sparkling crystals.
Like the other Artifacts (being Data Archives and Antimatter Shards), Ascension Crystals can be obtained by finding them in space, but they are quite rare and only show on the HUD within 1,000 studs. The method most players use to acquire these is by looting X-0, where you can reliably get multiple if you get the first loot.

Trivia
- Previously, the Ascension Crystal was used in a quest given by the Monogram in Aqueous II's asteroid belt. The Data Archive was used in a quest found on Myriad III's moon. They were also used to make special ships called "Artifact Ships," now known as "Advanced Ships" After an exploit for creating these ships came out, they were subsequently disabled and eventually re-added, but this time without the cost of Artifacts. Instead, their prices rose dramatically. However, recently, they were readded to the Mega Base's Terminal D's sales floor on a 3 ships per rotation basis. More information here.
