Silent Era Beacon
rare Base Station Artifact
A compact broadcasting device of unknown purpose. It emits a tight-beam signal on a frequency no modern receiver was designed to read — yet alliance members standing near it report a faint, shared sense of calm.

Which Artifact Should You Equip?
Silent Era Beacon 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.
