Rares, also known as Artifacts, are collectible objects in the Space Stage of Spore.

There are over 100 rares that can be found randomly scattered on the planets, indicated by pulsating yellow signals within star systems. Any artifact in the planet is guided by the Radar and can be received by abducting it and storing it in the cargo. Though, if it is abducted from the space-faring colony, it will result in a negative relation bonus for "Stealing Our Resources".

Artifacts can be sold for a large amount of Sporebucks (anywhere from 22,500 to 225,000). For philosophy-based items, double corresponding archetypes pay the price. Artifacts can also be gathered into collections which can then be sold for an even greater number of Sporebucks; each collection consisting of 10 specific artifacts.
