Explorer's Kit
3-piece set
The gear of the great explorers of the early Expansion Era — well-worn, still working, and aligned to the patterns of unknown space.
Milestones
- 2 pieces: Two of three assembled. Unlocks a codex entry on the explorers of the Expansion Era.
- 3 pieces: Full set. Grants the Pathfinder title and a vintage star-chart cockpit skin.
Verdict-Tier Relics
4-piece set
Relics pried from the mythic guardians of the Verdict Tier — Nexus-Prime, the Hollow Choir, and the World-Breaker. Each carries a fragment of the telemetry the guardians broadcast mid-battle, and assembling the set marks a commander who has stood at the galaxy's deepest threshold and held it.
Milestones
- 2 pieces: Half the set assembled from mythic-boss drops. Unlocks a codex entry of field notes on the Verdict Tier.
- 4 pieces: Full set, one relic from each mythic guardian plus the telemetry shard. Grants the Threshold-Holder title and a telemetry engine trail, and triggers a server-wide announcement.
Which Set Should You Chase First?
Explorer's Kit 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.
