Verdict Telemetry Shard
rare Commander Slot Artifact
A crystalline data-shard that intercepted and stored a fragment of the low-band stream a mythic guardian broadcasts toward the relay network mid-battle. The decoded portion is not a weapon schematic or a star map — it reads like a scoring rubric. Commanders who carry it find their reads on a chaotic engagement come a half-second sooner, as though they are seeing the fight the way something else is grading it.

+15% Mythic Boss Contribution Score
Verdict-Bound: Relics taken from the Verdict Tier resonate with the guardians' telemetry, increasing your measured contribution in mythic raids.
