Question about Artefacts in rebellion

I assume Artefacts will still be in the game and still require the player to hold the planet they are on to exploit them.

So my question is this:

If the Vasari loyalist faction have the ability to extract all resources from a planet, reducing it to a dead asteroid, then what happens to an Artefact that was on it?

Is it destroyed? Transferred to a Vasari ship or will it somehow be the sole surviving thing on the planet (now dead asteroid)?

In my experience, the artefact becomes inactive until the dead asteriod is recaptured. It will change hands upon the capture of the planet once it's resource is researched by the capturing player.

'My experience'?  I don't think anyone other than Dev's have SEEN the Vasari loyhalist 'take off' abilities yet!

Maybe he downloaded that mod that a guy released today, which enabled the other four factions (both Advent & Vasari Loyalists and Rebels). I also did, but I couldn't get it to work, and the thread has already been removed by the dev's. In that case, he might have gotten the Vasari titan to use this ability.

Whoever owns the planet, owns the artifact that is on it.  If the planet is lost, you lose the artifact ability.
