The Lombax Artifact, erroneously refereed to as Zombie Death Beam Emitter, is relic of Lombax technology from decades ago before the Lombaxes vanished. It was discovered by famed Markazian explorer, Max Apogee during one of many expeditions. Using it, he was able to discover the Lombax Secret, the Dimensionator. It's value attracted the Space Pirates, who raided the Apogee Space Station in the Nundac Asteroid Ring for it. Max Apogee attempted to recover the artifact, realizing the danger it posed if Tachyon got his Cragmite hands on it.
