Genesis Engine Fragment
legendary Base Station Artifact
A component torn from the Genesis Engine — a device theorised to have been capable of triggering stellar formation. The mythic entity that guarded the ruins of its construction site was the last of its kind. This fragment is the only physical proof the Engine ever existed. There is one.

Which Artifact Should You Equip?
Genesis Engine Fragment is the higher-rarity relic, so it carries the stronger ceiling for the Base Station slot and is the long-term target. That said, if you are already running the Mythic Trophies set, the set bonus can outweigh raw rarity — favour the artifact that completes a set you already own.
