			=== Relic slots ===

			Every skin purchase fills one '''relic slot''' of its relic:

			* '''With a forged relic''' (or, for alliance purchases, a donated base in alliance stock), the relic fills the slot and is '''consumed'''. You pay only the skin price. A spent personal relic also removes its base look until you forge it again.
			* '''Without one''', you pay the '''relic slot price''' of '''20 Quantum Shards''' on top of the skin price, whatever the skin's rarity.

			Grinding relics is never required, but every forged relic saves one slot price. Spent relics still count toward your collection score.

	Each relic typically has '''6–8''' alternate skins. For example, the ''Crimson War Banner'' offers variants such as '''Embershroud''', '''Blood Oath''', '''Iron Resolve''', '''Sunset Siege''', '''Scarlet Vanguard''', '''War-Torn''', '''Dragon Scale''', and '''Phoenix Rise'''.

'''Relics''' are collectible treasures scattered across the galaxy. You gather them one '''piece''' at a time, '''forge''' the completed set, and unlock a unique '''cosmetic''' — a personal avatar, an alliance badge or flag, or a stunning theme or monument for your conquered systems.

Relics are about '''identity and prestige''', not combat stats. They let you and your alliance stand out across the galaxy.<blockquote>Find your collection under '''Inventory → Relics'''.</blockquote>

* How relics work
* Collecting relic pieces
* Forging a relic
* Rarity
* Relic types & the relic catalog
* Alternate skins
* Avatar relics
* Alliance relics
* Where relics show up (usages)
* FAQ

== How relics work ==
Every relic follows the same loop:

# '''Collect pieces.''' Each relic is split into numbered pieces (between 4 and 10, depending on the relic).
# '''Forge.''' Once you own every piece, forge the relic. Forging consumes one of each piece and unlocks the relic's '''base cosmetic'''.
# '''Unlock more.''' A forged relic lets you buy '''alternate skins''' for it with '''Quantum Shards'''.
# '''Use it.''' Equip avatar relics on your profile, or '''donate''' alliance-type relics to your alliance for shared branding.

You only need to forge each relic '''once'''. There is no re-forging, and relics cannot be traded between players.

== Collecting relic pieces ==
Relic pieces drop from across the galaxy:
{| class="wikitable"
!Source
!Notes
|-
|'''Nebula Expeditions'''
|The primary source. Higher difficulty and deeper nebula zones drop pieces more often.
|-
|'''Pirate raids'''
|Defeating pirates can yield rare relic (and monument) pieces.
|-
|'''Quests & weekly quests'''
|Some quest rewards grant random relic pieces.
|-
|'''Special & weekly events'''
|Event milestones and tiers can reward relic pieces.
|}

=== Drop rates in Nebula Expeditions ===
Base chance per run, before zone bonuses:
{| class="wikitable"
!Difficulty
!Base relic piece chance
|-
|Easy
|~0.1%
|-
|Medium
|~0.3%
|-
|Hard
|~0.5%
|-
|Extreme
|~1.0%
|}
Deeper, harder nebula zones apply a multiplier on top (up to '''×2.0''' on Extreme zones), and certain deep-expedition outcomes can award a guaranteed legendary or mythical piece. Bringing the right '''specialist ships''' (such as an Orbital Refinery) further improves your odds of pulling a relic piece.

=== The "last piece" safety net (pity) ===
Chasing that final, stubborn piece? If you already own every piece of a relic '''except one''', and your oldest piece for that set is at least '''14 days''' old, the next relic-piece drop for that set is steered toward the piece you're missing. This applies to expeditions, quests, and pirate drops.

== Forging a relic ==
When you hold all the pieces, head to '''Inventory → Relics''' and forge. Forging:

* '''Requires''' at least one of every piece in the set.
* '''Consumes''' one of each piece.
* '''Unlocks''' the relic's base cosmetic immediately.
* Can be done '''once per relic'''.

== Rarity ==
Relics come in rarity tiers, from most common to rarest:

<code>common → rare → epic → legendary → mythical</code>

Rarity influences:

* How rare the relic's pieces are to find.
* The '''Quantum Shard''' price of its alternate skins.
* The realm level required to buy those skins.
* The color the relic is shown in throughout the UI.

<blockquote>All relics currently in the catalog are '''Epic''', '''Legendary''', or '''Mythical'''.</blockquote>

== Relic types & the relic catalog ==
There are five relic types, grouped by where they're used:
{| class="wikitable"
!Type
!Used for
|-
|'''Avatar'''
|Your personal profile picture.
|-
|'''Alliance Badge'''
|Your alliance's emblem, shown on leaderboards and alliance lists.
|-
|'''Alliance Flag'''
|Your alliance's banner, flown on members' planets.
|-
|'''System Theme'''
|A visual theme applied to a system your alliance controls.
|-
|'''System Monument'''
|A monument that appears in systems your alliance controls.
|}

=== Catalog ===

|Crimson War Banner
|Alliance Flag

|}

== Alternate skins ==
Once a relic is forged, you unlock its '''base''' look for free. Each relic also has a family of '''alternate skins''' — different colorways and effects on the same relic — that you can buy with '''Quantum Shards'''.

Skin prices and the realm level needed to purchase scale with rarity:
{| class="wikitable"
!Rarity
!Quantum Shard price
!Required realm
|-
|Common
|20
|1
|-
|Rare
|30
|2
|-
|Epic
|40
|3
|-
|Legendary
|50
|4
|-
|Mythical
|60
|4
|}
Each relic typically has '''6–8''' alternate skins. For example, the ''Crimson War Banner'' offers variants such as '''Embershroud''', '''Blood Oath''', '''Iron Resolve''', '''Sunset Siege''', '''Scarlet Vanguard''', '''War-Torn''', '''Dragon Scale''', and '''Phoenix Rise'''.

== Avatar relics ==
Avatar relics personalize your '''profile picture''' across the game.

* Forge an avatar relic to unlock its base avatar.
* Buy alternate skins for it with Quantum Shards.
* Equip your chosen avatar from your '''Profile'''; it's shown wherever your commander appears.

Avatar relics are '''personal''' — they are never donated to an alliance.

== Alliance relics ==
Four relic types are made for your alliance: '''Alliance Badge''', '''Alliance Flag''', '''System Theme''', and '''System Monument'''. Instead of equipping these yourself, you '''donate''' them to your alliance, where officers put them to use.

=== Donating ===

* '''Base relics:''' donating the base cosmetic is '''free''' and you '''keep''' your forged relic — you're simply sharing the design with your alliance.
* '''Alternate skins:''' you can donate a skin you own; it is transferred from your inventory to the alliance.
* Any active alliance member can donate. Members can also buy variants for the alliance directly using Quantum Shards via the '''Alliance Archive'''.

=== How alliances use them ===
{| class="wikitable"
!Relic type
!How it's used
!How many
|-
|'''Alliance Badge'''
|Officers set '''one active badge''' for the alliance.
|One active at a time
|-
|'''Alliance Flag'''
|Officers set '''one active flag''', flown on members' planets.
|One active at a time
|-
|'''System Theme'''
|Officers '''attach''' a theme to a system the alliance controls.
|One theme per system
|-
|'''System Monument'''
|Officers '''attach''' a monument to a controlled system.
|One monument per system
|}
System themes and monuments can only be attached to systems where your alliance has a presence (a conquered system or an active member colony).

See the Alliances page → Alliance Relics & Branding for the full picture.

== Where relics show up (usages) ==

* '''Inventory → Relics:''' track piece progress and forge completed relics.
* '''Profile:''' equip your avatar relic.
* '''Alliance → Relics / Archive:''' donate, activate branding, browse and buy variants, and manage the wishlist.
* '''Galaxy & system map:''' active alliance flags appear on members' planets; system themes tint controlled systems; monuments stand in controlled systems.
* '''Leaderboards & alliance lists:''' your alliance's active badge is displayed next to its name.
* '''Mail & reports:''' expedition, event, and pirate reports show the relic pieces you've recovered.

== FAQ ==
'''Do relics give combat or economy bonuses?''' No. Relics are cosmetic and prestige items. (If you're after deployable stat boosts, you're thinking of '''Monuments''', which are a separate system.)

'''Can I trade relics or pieces with other players?''' No. Pieces and relics are bound to you. Alliance relics are donated to the alliance, not traded between players.

'''Can I un-forge a relic to get my pieces back?''' No. Forging is permanent.

'''What are Quantum Shards for?''' They're the premium currency used to buy alternate relic skins after you've forged the base relic.
