Relic

From Traveller Wiki - Science-Fiction Adventure in the Far future

Used as a noun or adjective ro refer to equipment or technology left over from the pre-Collapse era. Relic technology is typically of a higher tech level than that which is currently available in quantity. While this equipment is usually of great value and is actively sought out by people in the New Era, some worlds particularly hard-hit by the Final War or Collapse have become xenophobic and technophobic. People of these worlds often destroy all relic technology that they find, sometimes out of irrational anger at the events that the equipment represents, or by reasoning that only by renouncing such things can they avoid the calamity that befell them.
