| The overall design of the Ketch falls in line with the organic nature of most of the architecture seen within Fallen culture, featuring sweeping lines and bulbous curves. Given the current status of the Fallen as a species, they are often dirty and held together with the scraps of metal their crews scavenge.

| | |
| Despite their condition, they still serve as warships for the Fallen with their power and resilience held in high regard. [[Pilot Servitor]]s hardwired into the ship's mainframe to aid their navigation.

| The affiliation of a Ketch can often be distinguished by the color of the line painted around its main engine. The [[Awoken]] repainted their captured Ketches with purple lines, many of which were present during the [[Battle of Saturn]].<ref name="Coming War"/> On Europa, the [[House of Salvation]] Ketches bear a grey hull with the House insignia emblazoned in blue on the underbelly. During the Season of Plunder, Spider offered the use of one of his ketches to the Guardian with a bombastic, blue, green and pink striped livery.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/8/23)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Plunder]] - [[Salvage and Salvation]]''</ref>

| Among the Eliksni is a saying, "Ketch is Kin, Kin are All", emphasizing the fact that a Ketch is a family home that fostered clans.<ref name="Kin"/> Indeed, the word for Ketch is synonymous with family.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/5/11)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Splicer]] - Item Description: [[Farewell#Lore|Farewell]]''</ref> A wrecked [[House of Kings|King]] Ketch once contained a ceremonial washing bowl, a child's musical instrument, and the cracked ceramic effigy of a [[Servitor]].<ref name="Kin"/> Ketches are also given honorary titles by naming them after their [[Prime Servitor]]s, such as [[Wintership Simiks-Fel]] and [[Wolfship Orbiks-Fel]]. To the Eliksni, Ketches and other Fallen spacecraft are far more than just means of traversing the stars, they are a family member that the Eliksni would defend to the bitter end.

| ==Ketch Variants==
| | The overall design of the Ketch falls in line with the organic nature of most of the architecture seen within Fallen culture. However given the current status of the Fallen as a species they are often dirty and held together with pieces of metal that their crews come across. Also of note is the Ketch's status as a space ship, their purpose during the Eliksni's time with the Traveler has never been given and therefore what they were originally is still subject to speculation. Despite their condition they still serve as capable warships for the Fallen and their power and resilence could be considered a clear sign of the Travelers influence on the Eliksni people. |

| | ==Trivia== |
| *'''[[Devil Splicers]]''' | | *A "[[wikipedia:Ketch|ketch]]" is a sailing craft with two masts, specifically a "main-mast" and a smaller "mizzen-mast". |
| **[[Splicership Menkis-Syn]] | | *Ketches that are attached to a major Fallen House have the "-Fel" suffix, while possibly other Ketches belonging to Freelance fallen has the "-Syn" suffix. It's possible these are meant to differentiate whether a ship owes its allegiance to a Kell, or is commanded by a freelance [[Baron]]. |
| ;[[House of Winter]]
| | *Ketches are potentially named after a Fallen House's [[Prime Servitor]]. An example would be Simiks-Fel, referring to [[Simiks Prime]]. The reference for [[Splicership Menkis-Syn]] is unconfirmed. |
| *[[Wintership Simiks-Fel]] | | *It is likely that the Wolfship Orbiks-Fel once belonged to [[Virixas, Kell of Wolves]], until it met it's demise to the Queen's [[Harbinger]] attack. This victory is celebrated in the item description of Chain of Orbiks-Fel. |
| *[[The Drifter (map)|The Drifter]]
| | *[[The Drifter]] is a abandoned Reef Ketch belonging to the [[House of Winter]]. It is possible that this Ketch was used to free [[Aksor, Archon Priest]]. |
| ;[[House of Wolves]]
| | *[[Pilot Servitor]]s are usually responsible for piloting Fallen Ketches. |
| *[[Wolfship Kaliks-Syn]]
| | *The [[Vestian Outpost]] social space is made from the hull of a captured Ketch. |
| *[[Wolfship Orbiks-Fel]] | | *Its unknown if the [[House of Dusk]] have their named ketch, but if they do have it, could be named Duskship Brandaks-Fel or Duskship Serkuleks-Fel |
| *[[Skolas's Ketch]]
| | *The Ketch is the only known large spaceship at the Fallen's disposal when compared to other enemy races aside from the Vex. Whether or not the Fallen have other types is currently unknown. |
| *[[Yavek's Ketch]]
| | *More to the above point there are some variants of Ketches that have their largest engine on the right hand side of the ship opposed to usual left sided engine. Examples of this range from The Spilcer Ship (Which is also missing some spikes near the departing ramp that Guardians could climb up on the Ketch from Venus) and Tanik's Ketch as seen in the Vidoc Out of the Shadows. Whether this is a developer oversight or intentional is unknown, however where Tanik's Ketch is concerned it is most likely concept or early in development. |
