Siege-Drill Core
epic Base Station Artifact
The power core of one of the World-Breaker's orbital siege drills, recovered intact by the only strike team to destroy a drill before it breached. Still warm to the touch decades after its construct's defeat, it drives mining and construction machinery to outputs their designers never rated them for — and occasionally past them.

Which Artifact Should You Equip?
Siege-Drill Core 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 Verdict Tier set, the set bonus can outweigh raw rarity — favour the artifact that completes a set you already own.
