Old Colony Seal
common Base Station Artifact
The administrative stamp of a colony that no longer exists. Stamping contracts with it is technically meaningless — but traders from the outer rim still honour it out of stubborn tradition.

Which Artifact Should You Equip?
Architect's Seal 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 Ancient Civilization set, the set bonus can outweigh raw rarity — favour the artifact that completes a set you already own.
