An n-pointed asterisk is a unique relic created by [[Thah]] for completing the quest [[Landing Pads]], and has effects dependent on the outcome of the quest.  The asterisk confers its effects by being in the player's inventory and does not require an equipment slot.
The asterisk's power and the nature of its effect are based on the number of settlements who agreed to host the Slynth and the settlement the Slynth chose, respectively.  More powerful asterisks have more points: for example, a nine-pointed asterisk has more potent effects than a four-pointed asterisk.

n-pointed asterisk

A cross-section of trash reef has been whittled to the shape of a star. Chiliads of life-things, rocks, and ersatz matter ribbon its arms: a mosaic of polyps, a bouquet of kelp, burned glass, minted chrome, nebula shell, iris milk, and stray photonic fuzz peeled from a decaying hologram.

This item doesn't need to be equipped for its effects to be active.

An n-pointed asterisk is a unique relic created by Thah for completing the quest Landing Pads, and has effects dependent on the outcome of the quest. The asterisk confers its effects by being in the player's inventory and does not require an equipment slot.

The asterisk's power and the nature of its effect are based on the number of settlements who agreed to host the Slynth and the settlement the Slynth chose, respectively. More powerful asterisks have more points: for example, a nine-pointed asterisk has more potent effects than a four-pointed asterisk.
