Ancient Civilisation
4-piece set
Relics recovered from Precursor sites that predate human spaceflight by fifty millennia. Assembling the set is less about power and more about proving you walked where the Precursors walked.
Milestones
- 2 pieces: Half the set assembled. Unlocks a codex entry on Precursor relic cataloguing.
- 4 pieces: Full set. Grants the Relic-Keeper title and an ancient-glyph hull decal.
Trader Relics
3-piece set
The personal effects of Orlan Vess, the wealthiest independent trader in recorded history. They are said to open doors others cannot even find.
Milestones
- 2 pieces: Two of three assembled. Unlocks a codex entry on the legend of Orlan Vess.
- 3 pieces: Full set. Grants the Merchant Heir title and the Vess signet banner.
Which Set Should You Chase First?
Trader Relics is the better first target: it needs only 3 pieces, so it completes faster and starts paying milestone rewards sooner. Lock it in before committing to the longer grind.
