An item with this gadget comes from an alien world unknown to current scientific knowledge, and is utterly unfamiliar to all who see or use it. Typically this kind of item can be found on alien worlds or aboard derelict alien craft, but regardless the item comes from a place and society utterly different from what the wielder would understand. Items of unknown alien origin are valuable to scientists and typically are confiscated by governments, though collectors, raiders, and entrepreneurial adventurers often come to possess such items through guile wealth, or unscrupulous tactics. Items of unknown alien origin add +5 to any Craft check DCs made to modify or repair the item, and +10 to any Craft checks made to replicate the item using known technologies. Additionally, any weapons with this gadget require the Alien Weapons Proficiency feat to use without penalty.
