Find the Night Star artifact

 is an optional side-mission featured in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Lost Alpha.

"I need the Night Star artifact. I'm sorry to say it doesn't grant any wishes, been there, done that, but it can make you wealthy. Scientists pay a lot for it. They say they make some military things out of it...So, are you up for it?"

- Barkeep

Overview

 * The side missions in Lost Alpha are largely symbolic, reward the player far more frugally than in the base game, and detract from the game generally. Why would a player hunt down a reasonable artifact and off load it for a pittance? By LA standards, Barkeep pays fairly good money for easy work.
 * This is the third such mission of this type given by Barkeep and completion is required for progression to the other (more rewarding) missions.
 * The mission is repeatable.

Trivia

 * Barkeep will probably reissue the Find the Meat chunk artifact mission before issuing this mission.
