'''Ketches'''  are massive starships used by the [[Fallen]] that are capable of inter-system travel. The Fallen arrived on these ships in the wake of the [[Collapse]], disembarking to pillage the remnants of [[human]] civilization.<ref name = "GrimoireFallen">'''Bungie (2014-6-12)''', ''Destiny: Alpha PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#The Fallen|The Fallen]]''</ref> The [[Awoken]] of the [[Reef]] also employ Ketches presumably captured from Fallen foes during the [[Reef Wars]], as a number of Ketches in Reef livery participate in the battle against [[Oryx]]'s [[Hive]] fleet over [[Saturn]].<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Coming War]]''</ref> You can often distinguish a Ketches affiliation with a house by the colour of a line painted around the main engine (however Ketches during Public Events, or a Ketch being deployed, are shown to have a blue line, painted around the engine, instead of having the color of the House, it belongs to). In Destiny 2 Ketches belonging to the House of Dusk have a purple line while the Ketch found in the [[Tangled Shore]] may belong to [[The Spider]]. {{Citation needed}}

Ketches were used in the [[House of Dusk]]'s war against the [[Red Legion]].<ref>[https://youtu.be/hdWkpbPTpmE?t=40s '''YouTube''' - ''Destiny 2 - Official Launch Trailer'']</ref>

==Overview and Layout==
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==
*A "[[wikipedia:Ketch|ketch]]" is a sailing craft with two masts, specifically a "main-mast" and a smaller "mizzen-mast".
*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]].
*Ketches are potentially named after a Fallen House's [[Prime Servitor]]. An example would be [[Wintership Simiks-Fel|Simiks-Fel]], referring to [[Simiks Prime]]. The reference for [[Splicership Menkis-Syn]] is unconfirmed.
*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]] is a abandoned Reef Ketch belonging to the [[House of Winter]]. It is possible that this Ketch was used to free [[Aksor,  Archon Priest]].
*[[Pilot Servitor]]s are usually responsible for piloting Fallen Ketches.
*The [[Vestian Outpost]] social space is made from the hull of a captured Ketch.
*Its unknown if the [[House of Dusk]] have their own House ketch, but if they do have it, could be named Duskship Brandaks-Fel or Duskship Serkuleks-Fel 
*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.
*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.
**However it could stand as some type rank of a Ketch within a Fallen House, or a style to the owner of the ketch.
