==History==
==History==
During the [[Reef Wars]], 19 Fortuna was the site of the battle known as the Fortuna Plummet.  
During the [[Reef Wars]], 19 Fortuna was the site of the battle known as the Fortuna Plummet. Following the protracted [[Hildian Asteroids|Hildian]] Campaign, [[Beltrik, the Veiled]] of the [[Fallen]] [[House of Wolves]] massed his fleet at 19 Fortuna to replenish [[ether]] supplies. Rather than attack Beltrik head-on, [[Paladin]] [[Abra Zire]] distracted Beltrik's forces with half of her armada while the other half deployed the gravity weapon [[Carybdis]]. The asteroid [[687 Tinette]] was captured by Carybdis' beam and thrown into 19 Fortuna. Both asteroids shattered upon impact, and Beltrik's fleet was all but destroyed. The remains of Fortuna and Tinette are occasionally called the Fortuna Plummet, after the battle.<ref>Bungie (2015-9-14), Destiny: House of Wolves, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Enemies#WANTED: Beltrik, the Veiled|WANTED: Beltrik, the Veiled]]</ref>


Following the protracted [[Hildian Campaign]], the [[House of Wolves|Wolf]] noble [[Beltrik, the Veiled|Beltrik]] left the Hildians to gather [[Ether]] from the asteroid 19 Fortuna, positioning the bulk of his forces above the resupply area in order to form a defensive screen against any potential attack from the Armada [[Paladin]]s. Unbeknownst to Beltrik however, following Bamberga's Wrath, [[the Reef]] had constructed a powerful gravity weapon known as "Carybdis", and [[Abra Zire]] planned to utilize it together with her experience.<ref name="Beltrik">'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen Hunted#WANTED: Beltrik, the Veiled|WANTED: Beltrik, the Veiled]]''</ref><ref name="Reef 3">'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Places/The Asteroid Belt#Ghost Fragment: The Reef 3|Ghost Fragment: The Reef 3]]''</ref>

Knowing that Beltrik expected Zire to throw her forces against his defensive fleet, she devised a strategy to make him believe she was doing just that, dividing her forces and sending a portion of them to engage Beltrik's screen. While her feint kept his forces contained at Fortuna, Zire then gathered the rest of her fleet at asteroid [[687 Tinette]], which was making a close pass by Fortuna at the time. With the remainder of her fleet safely hidden within Tinette's shadow, she activated Carybdis.<ref name="Beltrik"/><ref name="Reef 3"/> The weapon's beam pushed Tinette out of its orbit and sent it hurtling into Fortuna, destroying both asteroids and obliterated Beltrik's host. In the ensuing chaos, Beltrik's shattered and disarrayed forces were quickly neutralized by the full might of Zire's now-recombined fleet and Beltrik himself was captured and taken to [[Queen]] [[Mara Sov]].<ref name="Beltrik"/><ref name="Reef 3"/>
==Trivia==
*The Hubble Space Telescope observed Fortuna in 1993. It was resolved with an apparent diameter of 0.20 arcseconds (4.5 pixels in the Planetary Camera) and its shape was found to be nearly spherical. Satellites were searched for but none were detected.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/19_Fortuna Wikipedia 19 Fortuna]</ref>
