Recovered Relics
Insignia Catalog // Division Indexed
Each relic is a recovered insignia from a defunct operation, worship protocol, or containment division. These marks once lived on uniforms, warning placards, and restricted broadcasts — never meant for public eyes.
In the archive, they survive as reconstructed prints and wearables. Every insignia is treated as evidence, not merchandise.
DIV-04
Propaganda and promotional material from the Bureau.
ST JOSEPH MEMORIAL - DEATH - FISHIN' - BROKEN EDITION
Death goes fishing. Two figures share a small boat on still water — one poling, one casting a line — and one of them is Death himself, out for an ordinary afternoon. The lake, as it happens, is the same one down from St. Joseph Memorial Campground. Part of the Broken series.
MAX CO - SUN - BEE - BROKEN EDITION
Recovered from Max Co.’s final promotional run. Internal records list this as part of a summer line intended to “reconnect the brand with warmth and growth.” The campaign launched. The company did not survive its second quarter. No press release was issued. No line was formally discontinued. Stock simply stopped moving.
