Fragments



Fragments are presumably pieces of cephalon Ordis found all around the Origin system, usually hidden in side rooms during missions. Scanning them will unlock an artwork which can be found in the Universe tab of the Codex. Each planet in the origin system will have from one to three unlockable artworks, each requiring three to five scans to complete.

During missions, players may spot a unique icon on the mini-map which indicates the presence of a Cephalon Fragment. Scanning a fragment will unlock a portion of the associated artwork. Cephalon fragments may only be found once per mission and will spawn on any non-defense missions on a planet.

Along with unlocking artwork which may be used in orbiter displays, each picture unlocked also has accompanying lore text which relates to the image.
