The '''Black Armory''' is a secret weapon foundry founded during the late [[Golden Age]]. Its sole surviving member, [[Ada-1]], secretly maintains its wares within the walls of the [[Last City]]. The weapons designed and created are of the highest quality and are therefore highly sought after by the [[Kell's Scourge]].

 

It is for this reason that the Black Armory has maintained in secrecy for centuries until [[Guardians]] aided Ada in reclaiming their lost forges and safeguarding it from the Scourge and their leader [[Siviks, Lost to None]].

The Black Armory was founded at the end of the [[Golden Age]] by three families: French [[House of Meyrin]], Norse Rasmussen Clan, and Japanese Satou Tribe; each bringing elements of their native heritage to the Armory's designs. The clans' matriarchs, [[Henriette Meyrin]], [[Helga Rasmussen]] and [[Yuki Satou]], believed that the Earth is about to be invaded by some extraterrestrial enemy and agreed to manufacture and stockpile advanced firearms to ensure survival of their families.<ref name="BAP 25">'''Bungie (2018/12/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Black Armory (expansion)|Black Armory]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore:The Black Armory Papers|The Black Armory Papers]], Entry 25''</ref> They built several Forges and were selling some weapons to compensate for their expenses; Helga Rasmussen, previously of [[Clovis Bray (corporation)|Clovis Bray]], ran the business side of things.<ref name="BAP 41">'''Bungie (2018/12/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Black Armory (expansion)|Black Armory]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore:The Black Armory Papers|The Black Armory Papers]], Entry 41''</ref>  

The Armory's precautions failed when the actual [[Collapse]] started; their superior firearms provided little protection against the [[Darkness]] onslaught. After one of attacks by some monstrous minion of the [[Darkness]], the group had to abandon their hideout and leave their Forges behind. Henriette's daughter Adelaide was severely injured in the attack, and Henriette reluctantly agreed to Yuki Satou's proposal to upload Adelaide's conscience into an experimental [[exo]] body, thus creating [[Ada-1]].<ref name="BAP 92">'''Bungie (2018/12/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Black Armory (expansion)|Black Armory]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore:The Black Armory Papers|The Black Armory Papers]], Entry 92, 93, 94, 95''</ref>

Ada-1 served as a mobile forge, being able to create and upgrade Black Armory weapons with her bare hands. Unfortunately, unique weapons produced by Ada-1 turned out to be the group's bane in the post-[[Collapse]] world, as they attracted multiple bandits and robbers, including some [[Risen]] proto-[[Warlord]]s. Eventually, every other member of the group perished with only Ada-1 remaining.<ref name="BAP final">'''Bungie (2018/12/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Black Armory (expansion)|Black Armory]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore:The Black Armory Papers|The Black Armory Papers]], Final Entry''</ref> She ended up hiding in the [[Last City]], remaining secretive and distrustful of any [[Lightbearer]]s, even the [[Guardian]]s.

==Overview==

The Black Armory has forges located across the system, where they original founders used to create their legendary weaponry.

==Trivia==

*If a player follows a path through the Tower carefully, they can view the hidden location of the Black Armory and hear Ada-1.

*The Black Armory's purpose is very similar to that of [[Rasputin|Rasputin's]] DVALIN FORGE subroutine. Both Rasputin and the Black Armory's founders realized that humanity's demilitarization during the Golden Age posed a danger should enemies arrive from outside the system. In order to prevent this, both parties secretly began producing weapons for humanity to use if they were to be attacked.
