Just give me a fusion gun :-) and there be no tribbles atol (Sorry couldn't
resist)
The answer, at least from my view point is "That is why we are taking a contact
team!" The ring world is very large. Lets just assume a G2v star and a 93
million mile habit orbit. Circumfrence = 2*PI*R. There are probably several
sentient races that don't even know about the other.

Unless you are like me :-) I am using a different post a turn address than
where I receive the mailing list. Only he has my post from address. So I
can send stuff from here as General Things, but I won't accept mail from other
players regarding the game at this account. Actually it is rather painful
haveing the addresses different, but oh well....

I would assume artifact to have the Traveller Definition of:
1a: a usu. hand-made object (as a tool or ornament) representing a
particular culture or stage of technological development by the race
know as the Ancients.
