The '''Hidden Swarm''' are a brood of the [[Hive]] previously under the command of the Hive god [[Crota]] and his [[Spawn of Crota|disciples]], led by the [[Swarm Princes]] under their commander [[Sardon, Fist of Crota]]. Since Crota's [[Crota's End|demise]] and the genocide of his spawn, the Swarm became the de facto Hive power on the Moon; succeeded by Crota's own daughters. | The '''Hidden Swarm''' are a brood of the [[Hive]] previously under the command of the Hive god [[Crota]] and his [[Spawn of Crota|disciples]], led by the [[Swarm Princes]] under their commander [[Sardon, Fist of Crota]].

Over the course of months, the Hidden Swarm constructed a massive crimson fortress, the [[Scarlet Keep]], before the [[Pyramid]] that would act as an amplifier for their magics and to immunize themselves of the Pyramid's trauma-inducing influence.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], [[Eris Morn]]: [[Eris Morn#Quotes|The energy spilling from the tower suggests another purpose: I believe it amplifies Hive magic.

Eventually, the discovery of the [[Pyramid]] by [[Eris Morn]] unleashed phantasmal [[Nightmares]] based on the Guardians' traumas that the Swarm could exploit. Within hours, seismic activity erupted across the Moon, cracking its surface at the [[Ocean of Storms]] and driving the Hive into a frenzy; to which the [[Vanguard]] would deploy a massive siege operation upon the gates of the Keep and secure ground at [[Sorrow's Harbor]].<ref name="A Mysterious Disturbance">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], [[A Mysterious Disturbance]]''</ref> | Eventually, the discovery of the [[Pyramid]] by [[Eris Morn]] unleashed phantasmal [[Nightmares]] based on the Guardians' traumas that the Swarm could exploit.

Despite the loss of the Scarlet Court, the Hidden Swarm would fully pledge themselves to Xivu Arath and maintain a foothold in the Scarlet Keep near Sorrow's Harbor. However, the Hidden Swarm would come into conflict with the [[Lucent Brood]], the servants of Savathûn who abandoned their worms and now use the Light. The Lucent Brood intended to claim the Scarlet Keep, planning on making it the center of a massive ritual using stolen Light to open a portal large enough to launch an invasion of Earth. The Hidden Swarm would fight to keep their holdings on the Moon but would also clash with the Guardians and their new [[Cabal]] allies in their efforts to stop the Lucent Brood's invasion.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Risen]] - [[PsiOps Battlegrounds|PsiOps Battleground]]: [[PsiOps Battleground: Moon|Moon]]''</ref> | |||

*In the Cryptoglyphs given in the physical Shadowkeep Collector's Edition, it is revealed that the Hidden Swarm believes that Oryx is still alive in a spiritual sense. Their basis for this belief is in the [[Books of Sorrow]] describing Oryx killing his sisters in their throne worlds and later bringing them back after gaining the power to [[Taken|Take]]. | *In the Cryptoglyphs given in the physical Shadowkeep Collector's Edition, it is revealed that the Hidden Swarm believes that Oryx is still alive in a spiritual sense.
