Null-Space Membrane

rare Flagship Artifact

A translucent film that does not reflect light — it absorbs it. Wrapping even a small surface area of a hull with this membrane has been shown to reduce heat signature and therefore scanner visibility.

Passive bonuses

  • +10% Fleet Stealth Rating
  • -12% Passive Scan Detection

Set bonus3 pieces

+18% Expedition Discovery Chance

Void Attunement: The void reveals its secrets to those who carry its remnants.

How to get

Deep Expedition, Anomaly Reward

Survey Drone Core

uncommon Flagship Artifact

The processing core of an ancient survey drone series. When integrated with modern fleet systems, it offloads background scanning tasks with uncanny efficiency — the result of optimisation routines baked in by hands that haven't existed for centuries.

  • +15% Deep Scan Speed
  • +10% Drone Efficiency

Set bonus2 pieces

+20% Anomaly Discovery Chance

Explorer's Instinct: Veteran gear aligns its bearer with the patterns of unknown space.

Which Artifact Should You Equip?

Null-Space Membrane is the higher-rarity relic, so it carries the stronger ceiling for the Flagship slot and is the long-term target. That said, if you are already running the Void Remnants set, the set bonus can outweigh raw rarity — favour the artifact that completes a set you already own.
