The Hunns? Interesting choice, Preservers, am I right? Okay, let’s look at this obelisk…

Wait, that’s a new one! Commander, could you please make a quick scan? I don’t think I’ve seen an obelisk like this before.

I can not identify all the mechanisms and elements present in this obelisk, but its main use is terraforming and sustaining the resulting biosphere.

Judging from the soil analysis, the terraformation process happens in under three years with a minimal amount of resources required. It is much more effective than the Federation technology.

That’s ridiculous! How can a planet be terraformed in under three years? But if you are correct… We must explore it! Can you beam it aboard?

No. It is too massive for our ship, but, most importantly, extracting the obelisk from this planet’s surface may lead to undermining this planet’s flora and fauna.

However, I can make a non-programmed modular copy of it, replicating the inner mechanisms.

Ah, this one is definitely the remnant from the Preservers! You see, these obelisks serve as asteroid deflectors or magnetic field stabilizers, depending on the planet’s hazards.

This one protects the Picts, or, at least, their descendants. They must have been taken before the Gaelic language subsumed Pictish – the existing lingual forms are mostly unaffected!

Perfect, perfect! Please, scan the obelisk, Commander – I'd love to inspect it closer when I return to my laboratory. Now, to the next one!

I’m so excited, you can’t even believe it! I can see the news titles go like “Doctor Harrish’s work on the Preserver technology helps to skyrocket terraforming!” Interviews, awards…

Hold your thought, Doctor. There are other forces interested in this piece of technology. A Romulan ship is incoming, red alert!

Thank you for your help, Commander! This is simply a breakthrough! Preservers might be gone, but their heritage lives and prospers in every nook and corner of the Universe.

Though the Preserver lineage is linked to the Progenitors we know of from recent excavations in the Origin Sector, this terraforming breakthrough is clearly unlike anything found there.

And as soon as we learn how they were so effective in terraforming, imagine how many colonies will appear, how many civilizations will be saved from hunger and disasters?
